SEQUEL TO ROYAL ROMANCE

VEGETARIANISM LEADS TO SEPARATION 7 . LONDON', Dec 27. The sequel to two Royal romances was reported yesterday from two different quarters. It will be remembered that the Archduke Leopold of Austria forfeited his position in order to marry an actress named Fraulein Adamovich, and that his sister the Crown Princess of Saxony eloped with her Boigium tutor, M. Andre Giron.

To-day, qur Geneva correspondent informs us that Heir Woelihng, as the ex-Archduke is now tailed, is on the ] point of a separation with his wife. During the honeymoon Fraulein Adamovich became acquainted with a Simple Life colony whiio travelling in the Canton of Tessein, and finally embraced the faith, which prohibits all meats and wines. In the house she wore a loose robe and sandals, with flowing hair, and ate fruits and vegetables only. She tried to persuade her husband to allow his hair and beard to grow. Finally, Hcrr Woelfling, disgusted with the frequent quarrels that resulted, visited a Geneva lawyer named M. Laehenal, who patched matters up and persuaded the couple to go on a holiday to the Riviera for a fortnight and then to return to Geneva, when further arrangements may be possible. The couple still seem to bo lovers. Fraulein Adamovich is determined, however, to continue living the Simple Life, in spite of her husband's objections.

At the same time, curiously enough, the sequel to the Crown Princess's infatuation is reported from Brussels; where M. Andre Giron was married yesterday to a Belgium lady.
