ARCHDUCHESS ZITA AND ARCH
DUKE CHARi.ES FRANCIS JOSEPH
OF AUSTRIA.
Vienna.—The Archduchess Zita who
less than two years ago married the
Archduke Francis Joseph, heir pre
sumptive to the Austrian throne, prac
tically has been elevated to the posi
tion of "first lady" at court affairs
given by Emperor Franz-Joseph, in
Schoenbrunn Castle.
The direct heir to the throne Is the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, gephew
of the emperor. Ferdinand's descend
ants, however, nre barred from the
succession owing to his morganatic
marriage with the Duchess of Hohett
berg. The Archduke Charles Francis
Joseph Is the sun of the emperor's
third brother.
The rivalry between the Duchess of
Hohenberg and Archduchess Zita has
been very keen, hut the young ar,Jt
duchess seems to have won out. mueti
to the discomfiture of the duchess and
her husband, who has tried to per
suade the emperor to elevate her to
the status of archduchess.
Zita Is the twelfth of nineteen chil
dren of Duke Robert of Parma. Al
though compelled to live in Vienna aa
but four months of each year, she has
tried to master three of the seyenteen
languages and dialects of the dual
kingdom. These are German, Hun
garian and Pnhemtan. But she Is far
front proficient in any one.
