Anastasia, daring the war, was regarded with disfavor at Berlin because she was supposed to be wholly out of sympathy with the German cause. In fact, her views had long been well known to the emperor and his entourage. Nor was the antipathy of Cecile, in her girlhood, for the German court a wholly forgotten chapter. She had inhertied the right to love Russia and she supplemented this love for her mothers native country with an intense hatred of Germany. And yet she consented to become the wife of the crown prince with every prospect of becoming the German empress. When told of her sisters engagement, Cecile is reported to have said: I shall also do like Drina, and marry an enemy of Prussia and the kaiser. The poor grand duke, her father, often found himself in hot water by reason of these heedless remarks of his daughter and of her mother, for he was a good German, brought up in the old traditions. He was perpetually at war with his consort, who never tried to conceal the contempt in which she held her subjects and everything that reminded her of the Vaterland. It was at the ball given in honor of the coming out of Princess Cecile that the crown prince fell in love with her. After pennings a letter to his imperial father in which she declared that he would marry Cecile or no one, he straightway began to lay siege to her splenheart. It looks like a for her and in did alliance when Germany had those days, taken the first position among the nations of Europe, it might well have dazzled the imagination of the most confirmed hater of all things German. And, as we shall see, the Imagination of Cecile was dazzled, and she capitulated finally, not to love, but to . At first, however, she refused the wondrous offer, to the chagrin of the crown prince and the rage of the kaiser, who, although he was opposed to the match, could ont look with equanimity on this slighting of his son and, through his son, of himself. One of the chief actors in this strange drama is a certain, unnamed American, who appears to have won the sympathetic interest of the princess, and who enacts the role of friend and adviser. He knew the crown prince and dreaded the marriage of Cecile to a selfish youth who had never shown a kindness to any creature on earth, whether dumb or human. And this is how the American got in a word of warning: Have you music in your Home? Tell us to send this beautiful. COLUMBIA GRAFONOLA To your home. 23.00 DOWN 12.30 A MONTH . One evening when he had danced a quadrille with Cecile she asked him to lead her to the dining room, where she wished to get something cold to drink. She said that she was tired, and when she had sipped the lemonade which he brought her, she expressed the desire to go into the conservatory which opened out of the ball room, and to sit there for a few minutes. He obeyed her, and after having seen her settled in an armchair, he stood before her, contemplating her with eyes which must have expressed more emotion than he thought, because she suddenly asked him why he looked at her with such a strange anxiety. I don't think I ought to tell you why, princess,' replied the young man, "and yet I will do so; I was looking at you and thinking what would be your future, and whether you would not be sacrificed for stater easons, and Induced to marry a man utterly unworthy of you. "You mean the German Crown Prince? asked Cecile. "Yes, I mean the German Crown Prince," answered her companion. "Believe me, princess, there can be no happiness for you in a marriage with him. "But there is no question of such a marriage, she said hastily. "I assure you that there is no question of it. I am far too young and, besides. . . "Besides? he asked with anxiety. "Besides, I do not love him, and I do not think that I can marry a man I do not love. "But you may get to love him in time, insisted the American. "Girls can do a great deal under the pressure of their families, and it must be acknowledged that he is an attractive young man. He might in time succeed in winning your heart, but beware, beware of him, princess. Your life with him would be one long misery. "And yet I suppose that I shall have to marry some day, wearily said Cecile. "I suppose so, repeated the young man in a dry tone of voice, and the misfortune of women in your position, princess, is that they can neither follow the instincts of their own hearts nor allow men other than their equals in rank to pay their addresses to them. You live in an atmosphere of preudice against which it is next to Impossible to fight. But I would warn you not to rush headlong into a marriage which may mean the misfortune of your whole existence. Forgive me for having thus spoken to you. I shall not do it again." The affianced were allowed to meet at Florence, and there, we are told, the princess had her first insight of the character of the man who was to marry her: (Continued on Page 15.)
