CASE OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
BELIGIOUS DIFFERENCE SETTLED.
(United Press Association. —Copyright.) LONDON, 2nd November. The "Daily Express" special correspondent at Stockholm says that he is ablo to tell a true story of a royal romance now nearing the wedding bells stage. The story began with a visit of the Queen of. Belgium and her son. to Copenhagen in 1925. Later they
visited Stockholm, absolutely incognito. Princo Leopold and Princess Astrid then first met. It was literally a case of love at first sight. The course of true love did not run smoothly, howover. Troubles arose over religion, but the Pope has given a dispensation, and the Princess will not change from PrOitcstanism, but has given a written promise that any children will be brought up as Eoman Catholics.
