Crown Prince of Sweden
Weds King Georges Cousin

Stockholm. Nov. 2-(By A. P.)-
The marriage in London tomorrow Of
Lady Louise Mountbatten great
grand daughter Of the late Queen
Victoria Of England and second
cousin to King George. the present
sovereign. to Gustaf Adolf. crown
prince Of Sweden. is received with
deep interest here. The Swedes are
eager TO meet the woman who some
day will be their queen. and England
is believed TO be eratified at the new
royal ties that bind Stockholm and
London into still closer friendship.
Lady Louise is a sister of Lord
Louis Mountbptton who last year
married Miss Edwina Ashly. said to
be one of the richest women N Eng
land. Lord Louis and his bride
spent part of their honeymoon In the
United States.
1t was an eventfuI wooine which
led to the wedding in The Chapel
Royal of St James palace. Scarcely
had the news of Gustaf Adolf's en-
gagement been announced when II
was reported that certain authori =
ties In Sweden opposed the marriage
on the ground that Lady Louise was
not of sufficiently high rank to mar
ry the crown prince. Then. while
the genealogical experts were Settl-
ing this question In favor Of the
bride-to.be. came the startling news
that the press of foreign lands was
broadcasting the tale that Lady
Louise had changed her mind about
becoming crown princess anyway,
and was going to marry an obscure
English painter of modest income.
But as the summer passed by these
rumors were gradually discredited by
the fact that Lady Louise and the
Swedish Crown Prince were often
seen together in England and France
Lady Louise's father was Prince
Louis Of Battenberg. later known as
the Marquis Of Milford Haven The
Battenberg family has sprung from
Germany by way of Austria. where
the title Of prince was bestowed. and
because Of the strained feeling In
England during the war the name
was anglicized to Mountbatten. Lady
Louise, who is about IS years old, Is
typical aristocratic Englishwoman,
gracious generous. alert fond Of
dancing and outdoor sport, gifted
with genuine charm. She will capt.
vate Sweden as she did the officers
and sailors OF the Swedish squadron
visiting British waters when she

Fish Builds Nest OF Air

The Chinese paradise fish builds its
nest out of thin air-that is. the male
fish does. He rises to the surface OF
the water. sucks IN a big mouthful
of air and descends again. Then
he lets the air escape; IL rises to the
surface and floats in the shape OF a
bubble,
Mr.. Fish repeats this operation
many times, until there may be hun
dreds Of bubbles c!inging together in
mass three or four inches wide.
The bubbles do not burst, for each
one. while II was in his mouth, re-
ceived enough of coating a slime or
mucus to hold il firm and causing II
to stick to the one next to IT, Held
together, the bubbles form q floating
air raft. Then. with the nest COM
pleted, the female lays her eggs be-
meath Il. The eggs are so buoyant
that they float upward and stick to
the under side of the raft
The father fish now mounts guard
over the eggs. while the mother fish
swims uninterestedly away. He re-
mains close by until the eggs are
Matched and does not depart until
they can swim freely.

4 The Swedish Crown Prince. whose
fun name is Oscar Fredrik Wilhelm
Olaf Gustaf Adolf, has been married
before, his first wife having died
some three years ago. Crown prin-
cess Margaret, daughter Of the Duke
OF Connaught and princess of Great
Britain and Ireland, had borne Gus
tat Adolf five children, and her deat til
was a great bereavement to the
Swedish people.
Gustaf Adolf is now Al years Of
age. more than six feet tall. as are
all the men of the Swedish royal
family, and vigorous as an athlete.
Indeed he Is the possessor of the 'ath.
letic medai' awarded only for high
proficiency in at least Ave different
branches of sport in Sweden. This
Is perhaps not strange, nor is 1t
strange that he is a military leader.
and that he should have commanded
one of his country's armies In the
field maneuvers which ended only
two weeks before the wedding. But
II may surprise many to learn that
the Swedish crown prince Is also a
serious archaeologist, with several
expeditions to his credit. Last year
he spent nearly two months person
ally directing the excavation of the
buried Greek town of Asine. and un-
earthed many precious relics that
shed light on the civilization Of 5000
years ago. He is, moreover. a coll
lector of paintings, especially Of the
work of modern artists. such az An
ders Zorn and Carl LARSON. Gustaf
Adolf is very democratic and, con-
sequently, popular with the masses
in Sweden. His political aims and
principles, like those o! his father.
are sound and constructive. The
wedding in London will, be attended
by both King George OF England and
King Gustaf Of Sweden. The couple
will spend their honeymoon in Italy.
