OME KING BORIS OF BULGARIA WANTS AMERICAN BRIDE,
MUST BE PRETTY AND EDUCATED--WEALTHN NO OBJECTION

From his mother, who was the
Princess Louise OF Bourbon
Parma, King Boris inherits great
personal charm.
Eight months ago the first inti'
nation that the King desired an
American bride was set in circuia
ton, and Boris expressed surprise
when he heard OF II. At that time
he smiled and said that he was
busy working. not wooing, and
added:
MAY LOOK 'EM OVER.
1T is an extremely novel idea,
isn't 1t. and interesting. But just
now I'm really too busy with the
task OF reconstructing my king
dom to give any time to matri'
monial projects"
But the extremely novel idea
did take root and the prime minis
ter's announcement is the fruit OF
1T. The young king may visit
America early In tho spring. II is
said. when doubtless he will have
an unlimited opportunity to study
the great American girl at close
range and face to face.
This was suggested when the
rumor OF last year was set afloat,
and the King, laughing. answered.
1T is true that am living a
life of great loneliness. devoid OF
all social diversion. But now ]

that should make a difference.
And isn't It the duty of brother

Boris speaks with scarcely an

Of America and American methods.
At least he says SO. in this fashion

And this was before the King

The King has expressed
strong desire to visit America to

American influence on Bulgarian

This may seem at first
glance like a fanciful fig
ment of q comic opera plot,
but it is most matter-of-fact
and official. The announce
ment comes through M.
Stamboulisky, the Prime
Minister of Bulgaria, who
states that His Royal High
ness is eager to contract a
marriage as soon as possible
with an American lady, who
must be beautiful, in the
eyes of Boris at least, edu-
Gated, and if she possesses
wealth that will be no OBJ
lection.
In addition to loving her
royal husband and assist
ing in affairs of society and
state, the young bride will
be expected to take deep in
terest in the development
Of the young women's school
Of Bulgaria.
The subjects Of King
Boris, it is said, have lost
faith in European alliances,
believing that they bring
war rather than peace and
prosperity and they believe
that a. queen from America
would be greater asset to
their country than any Eu-
ropean bride.
King Boris is twenty-eight
years old and concededly
handsome. He is rated as
one Of the most democratic
of monarchs, living simply
in his castle at Sophia, and
regarded by many as a royal
recluse. He assembled the
throne while the world was
SILL in the throes of war,
following the abdication of
his father. Ferdinand. in
October, 1918.
TALL AND STRAIGHT.
King Boris is tall and
slight, with dark hair,
brown eyes and sharp,
swarthy features. While he
has been the center of a
hundred rumors concerning
femininity, he is rarely seen
among women. Although
his engagement has been
rumored a score of times,
his countrymen rather re-
gard him as a woman-hater.
At one time he was rumor-
ed to be seeking the hand of
Princess Mary of England,
now the wife of Viscount
Lascelles. and perhaps. only

OTHER POSSIBILITIES.
But the British commentators
are narrowing the field down with.
out authority. King Boris and
Prime Minister Stamboulisky did
not stipulate that wealth or social
position was essential. Individually
this most human of kings wants
an American girl that he will love
and who will love him. and there
are literally millions who might
satisfy in that respect.

is made, type from each county is taken
with which to check up on the informa-
