FERDINAND OF RUMANIA.
[BY PRINCE ANTOINE BIBESCO,
· formerly Rumanian Minister at Washington, and later trans- ferred to Spain, who married Lady Elizabeth Asquith, daugh- ter of the Earl of Oxford and Asquith.]
·
King Ferdinand's reign was very short. He ascended the throne a October 11th, 1914. He has died, leaving a memory that will grow with time.
When he was born on August 24th, 1565, his parents were very far from suspecting that he would one day reign over a country of nearly twenty million inhabitants
Most of us are the subjects of our fate; dominion over it is given to few.
