Straight From Seclusion, A wedding, which was attended by numbers of Royal relatives and other important folk, took placo in Vienna recently between the Archduke Charles Francis Joseph and the Princess Zita of Parma. The Archduke is the heir-pre-sumptive to the Austrian Throne. The bride's gown is spoken of as being exceedingly beautiful, although not cut in the prevailing fashion. The skirt measured more than three yards in width, and was plainly made, but heavily embroidered with fleur-de-lys in silver. The bodice was draped with ancient lace, and was also cut in the fashion of 10 or 12 years back. The bride, who has spent all her life in • a convent is 19 years old, and has never been out in the world at all. Her last year at school was spent at a convent in the Isle of Wight, where her half-sister is a nun. Acknowledgment.
