The end is announced of the 30-year-old romance in which the parties were Princess Louisa, daughter of Leopold, of Belgium, and Captain Mattasich, a Hungarian nobleman.

The suit failed, and the couple became poorer than ever. The Princess recently appealed to her sister Princess Stephanie, formerly Austrian Crown Princess. Princes Stephanie offered to allow her siste, who is fi4 years of age, to spend the rest of her life at the beautiful castle at Oroszvar, Hungary, on condition that she parted from Captain Mattasich, and the offer was accepted. Other friends found a home for the penniless Captain Mattasich.
