ZURICH, Switzerland. Feb. 81
Love in a castle" Is the dream Of
Max Oser, Swiss riding master. and
his siXteen.year- old fiancee, Miss
Mathilde Mccormick, OF Chicago, ac-
cording to a statement made here
today by the groom.to-be.
Our castle has not yet been
chosen" admitted Mr.. oser. III
Miss Mccormick arrives in Europe
soon, as Is very probable, We VIII
then choose our estate together"
The riding master explained his
family tree. going into details about
prominent members OF the family
and their political and military ca
reers during the past four CEN
turies. One of the original Osers,
a famous painter. fell upon the field
Of battle at Marigano in 1915. In
the middle of the eighteenth century
the family founded a candle factory
which had a big reputation and pros
pered exceedingly until II was ruin
ed by the petroleum industry. 1t
was compelled to close down in
1860.
A friend who was present at the
interview remarked jokingly:
IF Mr.. Oser's ancestors had their
candle business ruined by the
Rockefeller oil industry, can the
present marriage OF Miss McCor-
mick. who is John ID. Rockefeller
granddaughter. be considered in the
light Of a recompense?"
Mr.. Oser failed to give reply to
this question of poetic justice, but
continued:
my father was superintendent of
largo Hungarian estates and there
learned horse breeding. He went
with Casanova into Central Africa
for the urpose OF capturing live lions
for European ZOOS, principally Ha-
genbacks. He was held In captivity
by tribesmen in Africa and was the
only European member OF the expe-
dition to return alive.
He entered the Swiss cavalry dur
ing the Franco.Prussian war.
My father participated in the con-
struction of the first street car line
built at Basic. and he built the Unit.
versity Riding Academy. He died
in 1908 and my mother seven years
later"

Aveline and Edmund lie entombed
side by side and the crypts which
hold them have been renovated SO
that the first royal pair welded
under that roof will have their share
in making the building spick and
span for the third nuptial.
All these embellishments and cere.
monies may be caught for our eyes
by press cameras permitted for the
first time to snap" such an affair.
What their films will record will be
a glorious spectacle-four different
professions into the Abbey, the royal
family first, with representatives Of
foreign courts. with Queen Alex.

its center. escorted by the Duke Of
Connaught. The second group will
consist of Queen Mary. with the
ladies Of her household, attended by
the Duke of York, Prince Henry and
Prince George.
Princess To Appear Last.
Lascelles and his attendants come
next, and last of all Princess Mary,
escorted by her father. the King, and
followed up by eight bridesmaids.
After the ceremony the bride and
bridegroom must sign the register at
desk near the tombs OF dead Plan
tagnets. and this deed done the
bridal pair will be the first to leave
the old Abbey and re-enter modern
London.
Lines Of soldiers and police will
line the route between the palace
and the Abbey.
The royal path will be through the
Mall, Admiralty Arch, Charing Cross,
Whitehall, Parliament street, Parlia-
ment square and thence to the south
door of the Abbey.
Preference must be given to GER
tain individuals In seating. Tact is
the most priced quality Of the day.
Only fifty bids" could be issued to
the Lords of the Realm. These gen.
tlemen drew lots good humoredly for
the coveted seats. There will be
no room for many who should and
would like to be present. Naval,
military and air forces will send
their quotas for guards of honor.
Rules of precedence must be in.
voked, and most important Of all is
ecclesiastical law, which extends
even to the style Of the bridemaids'
headdresses.
An elaborate program Of special
music has been prepared by Sydney
Nicholson, organist of Westminster
Abbey. for the wedding.
Gifts Of precious stones that re-
call the "roc's esq" size gems Of

But probably one Of the most
pleasing membranes to the royal
family will be q telegram which

The Wedding Gown.
Mary's golden hair, her pink and

by this shimmery frock which is free
from the stiffness that too often
characterizes a formal gown.
Its making? Sounds staple

silver; to the ankles and square

OF marquisette with V-shaped decol
letage and the embroidery we have

The train Is of specially woven ma
terial and will be four metres-about
thirteen feet-long. Rich lace cas-

fashioned of tulle and Alencon lace.
