with Ex-Service Men, reports, on be-
half of her committee, and her own
personal work, that seventy-two
Christmas gifts were sent off last

tions which are not likely to be SO
well remembered as the older ones
The list of addresses was only re.

the cartons were in the post Office,
then on their way by afternoon. One
gift, warm mackinaw coat, was sent
to the Adirondack hospital for ex-

stationery and other articles prettily
wrapped, each with pretty Christ
mas card and a return postal, and
were donated by members of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park, a
few being from others through the
club. Included in the packages were
a dozen red Christmas bells and a
lot of red roping to decorate the
wards.
An interesting and personal Incl
dent was the name of Palisade boy
included among the addresses, that
of Charles Haffer of Jasmine Way,
Palisade, SO the chairman sent him
not only a gift from the club, but,
also an extra one from herself, with a
pretty Christmas card, and the Christ

cheer his heart.

Temple in Grantwood, then were es-
corted by the local police and the
knights Templars of Hoboken, to the
church, marching to the strains of

seph. -Four years later she contracted
an admittedly loveless marriage with
Prince Macmillan Thurn and-Taxis, head
of one Of the oldest houses of the Bava-
rian sristocracy, which throughout the
Middle Ages and down to the beginning Of
the last century enjoyed the office of
Hereditary POstmaster-General of the Holy
Roman Empire.
II Is needless to recount here anew the
tragedy Of Empress Elizabeth of Austria.
II was not one tragedy, but many. In
fact, she seemed pursued by a relentless
fate, and IT cannot be denied that her
a SasslnatiOn at Geneva in 1898 by half
wttcd Italian anarchist of the name of
Luccheni, merely because she happened
70 be a sovereign, was a release from an
existence which has often and justly been
described as a martyrGom. Her position
at the Court of Austria throughout the
first ten years Of her marriage were rem
dered well-nigh intolerable by her hus-
bands fragrant infidelities.
Elizabeth's other brother-in-law, the
Bourbon husband Of her sister Mathlde,
who as Countess TRAM has just passed away
committed suicide in 1885. And so, too,
did her favorite cousin, King Ludwig II. of
Bavaria, who was affianced to her sister,
the lovely Princess Sophie. All the prepa-
rations had been made for her wedding
70 the King, and the medals bearing the
portraits Of the royal couple had already
been struck TO commemorate the cere-
mony, when on the eve of the day APP
pointed the King suddenly announced that
the match was broken off and left the

of Alencon was spending the Summer in. a
villa on the opposite shore of the lake,
it is believed that he sought to seek rfeuge
and protection there with his former
fiancee. That she believed this to be the
case is shown by the fact that she tenn
porarily lost her reason and had to be kept
under restraint for couple of years be-
fore she recovered.
In 1897, just one year before the MUIR
der of the Empress, she met with an
heroic death in the terrible conflagration
of the Charity Bazaar in Paris, which cost
so many hundreds of lives and where she
persisted while engaged in saving the lives
of a number of children and of young
girls. who would otherwise have been
killed
Perhaps the cruelest Of all SORROWS by
which the murdered Empress Elizabeth
was overtaken was the terrible death of
her only son, Crown Prince Rudolph, at
Meyerling in 1891. There are many diff
ferent versions that have been printed Of
what took place at Meyerling on that fate
full night and of the circumstances that
led up to the drama, suggestive in some
senses of the ancient Greek tragedies. II
was because of this that his church in
its mercy consented to grant those rites

city for one of his most remote and
inaccessible castles in the mountains
without furnishing any explanation.
1t was not until two years later that
il was discovered that both the King
and the Princess had been the victim
of a disgraceful court intrigue by
people at Munich who were determined
at all costs to prevent the marriage. The
plotters managed to drive the monarch
into a frenzy Of jealous rage by letting
he had given TO his intended bride and
which had been stolen from her by one of
her ladics-in-waiting, on the finger of
young nObleman who had been VIGOROUSLY
indscrcet in his manifestations of admira-
ton for the beautiful princess. By the
time that they both had learned Of the
true nature of the conspiracy organized
TO prevent their marriage the Princess had
contracted a loveless union with one of
the French royal family, the Duke of
Alencon, with whom she was very un-
happy, while King Louis had become a re
cluse and misanthrope, and had developed
those signs Of unbalanced mentality which
N 1886 caused him TO be arrefted and
placed under restraint as insane.
After a few days of captivity King
Ludwig endeavored to escape from the
castle in which he had been interned on
the shores of Lake Starnberg He
strangled the attendant physician who en-
deavored to prevent him from swimming
across the lake, and then, succumbed to
the exhaustion resulting from the fight on
the shore, was drowned. As the Duchess

of Christian burial which would otherwise
have been withheld.
The other and remaining sister whose
long and eventful life was brought to
close last January at Munich was Princess
Marie, ex-Queen of Naples and of the Two
Sicilies, the closing years of whose ro-
mantle career were clouded by the failure
of both sight, hearing and reason. She
was married in 1859 to the then Crown
Prince Of Naples, whom she had never
seen. The wedding took place by proxy
at Munich and, therefore, when she ar
rived at the Italian seaport of Bari on the
Adriatic, she was already Crown Princess
of Naples and the legal wife of man
upon whom she had never set eyes.
She was beautiful girl at the time,
high spirited and laughter loving. But
the appearance of her husband, who had
been pictured TO her as handsome youth,
was a great shock He was one of the
most repulsive and degenerate specimens
of the historic Royal House of Bourbon,
a man devoid of intelligence, of courage,
of principles and of morals, of the gross
est and most vicious tastes and utterly
devoid of education. A few months later
he succeeded to the throne, which he lost
in the following year through the revolt
of his subjects on the arrival of Garibaldi
and Of the late King Victor Emmanuel,
to emancipate them from his rule.
He would have abandoned the throne
without making any effort to defend it
had it not been for his wife, Queen Marie,
who surrounded by small military force
who had remained loyal to the dynasty,
held out against the enemy in the fortress
of Gaeta on the road from Naples to
Rome and sustained a siege of several
months, until she was captured.
In her long drawn out later years this
picturesque woman became mentally dis
ordered and a fashionable artist has de-
picted her strikingly demented appear
ance. When the war broke out in the
summer Of 1914, she was ordered to leave
France as a member of the reigning house
of Bavaria, that is to say of an alien
enemy dynasty. And her mansion was
sequestered by the French government.
From that time forth she made her home,
first in Austria and then in Bavaria,
where she died in the early part of
the year.
