KATHERINE SCHRATT
NOW IN BREAD LINE
EMPEROR'S SWEETHEART BE-
COMES VICTIMS OF HAPS-
BURG CURSE.

Katherine Schratt, the morganatic
wife of Francis Joseph, last emperor
of the Austrians, the woman who once
ruled a nation through her influence
over the aged monarch, is now daily
member of the bread line in Vienna,
standing patiently hour after hour,
awaiting the bread and meat ration
handed out by the government. Her
jewels, given her by her royal lover
are gone. Her clothes are in tatters,
and she is a living reminder OF the
curse OF the Hapsburgs.
Reduced to Poverty
When the emperor died in 1916 he
left $250000 to Katherine Schratt to
care for her in her declining years.
But the ravages OF war, and her many
gifts to those less fortunate, soon de-
pleted this small fortune until at last
she was reduced to poverty. Once the
beauty OF the Austrian stage, petted
and feted wherever she appeared, she
now lives in a barren garrett depend

For IS years, from the bloom OF
youth until middle age bent her Shout

Austria through her hold on Francis
| Joseph. For her he built little villa
right by the gates of the royal palace
and there he spent much OF his time
especially after the events which tend
ed to uphold the Hapsburg curse.
The Fatal Hapsburg Curse.
The first manifestation of this curse
came with the death of mad King

The newly organized department OF
the Sunday school, the senior-adult
department, is rapidly becoming ad-
iusted to their new quarters Tor the

house. Under the efficient leadership
OF Mr.. !. L. Lassiter, superintendent
OF this department, it is expected that

opening exercises will gradually be-
come one of the most gripping parts
of anv service Of the church. The sing
ing is already pronounced excellent.
Since the seniors and adults are not IN
the main auditorium for the opening
exercises the juniors and intermedl-
ates have their opening exercises sep
arate from the grown people. These
two departments, under the splendid
leadership OF Mrs. Gay Raines for the
juniors and Miss Louise McNulty tor
the intermediates, are already begin
ming some very definite work which
will result in the building up OF these
departments along all lines. Arrange
ments have already been made to give
