The Czar of Russia’s Four Daughters Are the Most Perplexing Problems He Has to Look After "Once upon a time there was u king and he had four daughters. And the king was much perplexed where he should find suitable husbands for them. For he was a kindly man and they were beautiful girls” We ran well Imagine this as the aliening paragraph of an old time fairy tale. Hut In this rase It Is an actual, acute situation staring In the face that much hurrassed man, the t’-'.ir of all the Russians. Hevcral years now the scandal mongers of Hi.rope have been explain ing the marriages of expediency ar ranged for the charming quartette. Perhaps tl.eyq have been right. At least hone of the stories have fallen yet by the fact of the girl's wedding someone else than the scandal-mong er's choice. The cloud of rumors has sw'.-ted most thickly about the proud olgu. the eldest daughter, because there Is great likelihood of her Inheriting the throne !y Hi > dinlse of her tubercular I ti e brother. Here Is Indeed a fitting subject for Ihe romancer. Hweeplng. Imperial, with a curl of her lip so cold ami haughty that It would almost balle la r icputalloi. for good nature, she Is every Inch a queen. There Is a mag nificence about her youthful carriage rarely attained even by royal blood. Doesn't Want Throne. Yet she cares nothing for the throne, Ihe ermine, Ihe crown diamonds and the sceptre It Is well authenticated that she tried to throw herself away upon her young cousin. Prince Dimitri I’aulovltch. the son of Ihe profligate lirand Duke Paul. For yours » romance developed be tween thorn. There were clandestine meeting* and the royal girl concealed 111 her hoeotn a diamond pendant Hhicli the yonnK prince had given her. The revelation of her Infatuation to the Czar and Czr.rlna precipitated several fearful scenes. The Orand hiicVn Htamped her foot like any common girl. Hhe would not he sacrificed aw a wife for any pln-hcaded princely weakling. She would marry the man of her choice. The (’star la said to have at last con sented It wan decided that the be trothal he published to the world. Rodeat Shock. And then the (Irand Durheaa Olira had the rudgat ehock that ever uni* to any younir prtnceaa of the blood. Prince IMndtrl confeaaed that he loved her sister Tatiana more than Alan.!

If there hnil been turmoil in Ihe Czar's household before, It was as nothing compared to the storm now. The Czarina, always neurasthenic surround her family, collapsed com pletely and retired to her beautiful re treat In the f’rknea. The Prince who was the* cause If the trouble left the country. His exile was complete, ab solute. He seems now to have been shut out of the I Ist of eliglbles entire ly. This list of eliglbles Is not a long one and the daughters of the Czar have u way of turning up their pretty noses at almost every name on It. Heading Ihe list Is the young Prince of Wales, a schoolboy, thin,faced, weakly, given to overmuch cigarette smoking, perhaps too greatly ooddleed by a foolish mother. Accustomed to the virile, If dlslpated, society of Ht. Petersburg, the lirand Duchesses are not so 'much Impressed by the Itrltlsh heir apparent. He Is said to admire much the beautiful Titlanu, hut the reports that the affection Is mutual are not well borne out. The second most eligible young man from Ihe point of rank and station Is Adalbert, third son of Kaiser Wil helm 11, of (iermany. lie Is stocky, rugged, far removed In appearance from the Prince of Wales. Koyul parents have thrown him and the quartette of Imperial girls together. Hut nothing has happened. In the olden days nothing was ex pected to hAppen. Rather, It made no difference. Hut times h ave c hang ed, The royal girl demands her ro mance She will qot b e cheated out of her meed of love and affection. She has read the romantic novel and she knows what Is her due of love and af fection as a woman. She demands to marry the man she loves. She will hot take this one or that one to please her father's prime minister. A Stone Wall. Thla changed attitude of the royal young lady aeeina to have been the atone wall on which the plan for the sesllng of the Halkan peace hy royal matchmaking wiih shattered. I wist autumn there was much indig nation, and juat Indignation over the pitiless plan by which the diplomats Intended to mate up the young folk of Kastern European royalty. In the first place Olga was to he married to Prince Alexander of Servla, the heir apparent to a throng atalned with Mood. It will be remembered thut King Peter, Alexander’s father, took this throne from assassins who killed King Alexander and Quern Drngn, and even tore the latter to pieces and cast the remnants of her body out of her bedroom window Prince Alexander's elder brother, George, committed many horrible crimes. Including the murder of the husband of his mistress, and was shut out f rom the line of suc cession Alexander Is said to he little better, a sot and debauchee. The court at Belgrade Is rude and barbarous Orga's fate In such a union might well he pitied. Witching Eyes. Then Tltlana, she of the witching eyes, was to lie wed to Prince Charles of liouuianla. He Is t he oldest son of the Crown Prince of Roumanla, who Is the nephew of the aged king and queen. Koumatda Is slightly more civilised than Servla, hut the Rou manians seized some of Hiilgarlar'a spoils of war recently and the fierce Bulgarians will come acme day seek ing vengeance. Charles' reputation Is fairly good yet 'twould he a loveless match, little to the taste of a twen tieth century princess. The girlish Marie, third daughter of Nicholas lias been rumored to he a sacrifice to Russian diplomatic rela tions with Greece. She was to marry Prince Boris, oldest son of the King of Bulgaria She Is fourteen and he seventeen yet this Is considered none too young hy the diplomats when the friendship of two centuries Is to he cemented. IJttle Anastatla Is still too young, even for rumors The t'sar, sore per plexed over the problem of the elder three, already sees her as an added difficulty In the distance Czarina Too. The Cxarlna Is little help to him. The constant attempts on the life of her husband, the almost dally conspiracies within the palace, the menacing of the lives of herself and the children, the disastrous war with Japan, the expos ure of the scoundraliam of the Czar's near relatives, the ooutbreak of a bloody revolution and her strained re lations with the Czar himself, have tended to unbalance her mind. Her own Is a marriage of conven ience. She lived with her brother as a THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. girl and h«r surroundings were any thing but happy. She was treated In an off-hand way In St. Petersburg on visits there before her marriage. The Idea of a Herman marriage was not popular In Russia However, th« ad vice of Queen Victoria, of Knglund, who was anxious for her granddaugh ter to ac ept the brilliant mat h thus offered to her, and the fact of strain ed relations with h«r brother, com bined to prevail upon her and she finally consented to become the bride of Nicholas Alexandrovlteh, Today she would probably have re fused Much history would have to be rewritten had princesses always been as Independent as they are now.
