 A heavy blizzard ragged during the funeral service today at Bouchout Castle, where she had lived most of the 60 years since the collapse of the Mexican empire under her husband, the Archduke Maximilian of Austria.
 Huge crowds braved the cold and snow to follow the body of their princess from the gloomy palace town the lonely four-mile road through the forest 10 Laeken, where at II o'clock public rites were held, surrounded by civil and military pomp.
 The first ceremony at the castle, attended by Charlotte's nephew, King Albert; Queen Elizabeth. the Duke of Brabant Grown Prince Leopold), officials and Charlotte $ house servants, was strictly private.
 Then, after prayers offered by the parochial clergy of Meysse village, the coffin, covered with the Mexican and Belgian flags, was placed in q hearse, while the cavalry escort stood at salute and the crowd barred their heads in the keen wind.
