ROYAL ROMANCE.

PRINCE'S BENUNCIATION.

{FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPE'S " OWN DURAESPONDENT, ]

Some piqusat details of the idyll of abdication of Prince Charly of Rou- mania are given by the Easelsier. On Angust 97th., 1918 the Roumanian Heir Apparent left his country clandestinely, and made for Odds by motor-car in company with Mlle. Jeanne Lambrino. At Odessa a few day, sufficed to fulfil cartain formalities, and there was then celebrated in the Pokrowsky Church the marriage of the Prince and Mlle La brino. Officers and agents from Buda pest arrived with stern orders. And com pelled the Prince to return to Roumania, where he remained under arrest” for six weeks for having quitted, withous per- mission, the command of his regiment. At & Crown Connell it was decided that there was no reason to transfer the rights of Charles to the second son, Nicholas. The marriage was considered as a simple escapade.

Friendly intervention and menaces alike failed to separate the young couple, In December the Bucharest courts pro- nounced a decree of divorce on the ground of lack of the necessary publicity before the marriage took place. The de cision was disregarded by the Prince. According to the Excelsior; on July 28th. the War Minister, General Vaiteiarno, accompanied by the American Colonel Boyle, prosented themselves before the Prince and endeavoured to persuade him to renounce the marriage. In the end the War Minister gave him the choice either of resuming immediately his command at the front or of "sacrificing his future to bis romance. Queen Marie, bis mother, it is said directed this conversation. The Prince asked for a short delay, änd on August 1st, wrote the document of redunciation to the throne. That was hia reply.

The Rumanian Council of Ministers, after deliberating upon the act of re- nunciation made by Prince Charles, decid ed to recognise Prince Nicholas, his younger brother, as heir to the throne Prince Nicholas, who was in London, returned at once to Bucharest by the Orient express. He is very popular with the Romanian army. Eton, to which be went in the Lent Halt of this

year, he was very popular with the boys in big division and in his house. He entered with great spirit into the sports and games, and was respected for himself and not because of his position.

MAJOR AND MAID,

DAMAGES FOR A SERVANT WHO WOULD NOT LEAVE.

The position of a servant employed as maid to a married woman, the possesso? of a separate estate, in the house of ber mistr busband, was discussed at Nottingham County Court, recently, by Judge Acton in giving a reserved judg ment...

Sarah Frout, who had made a claim against Major Holden, of Bramcote Hills, for assault and false imprison ment, had stated that the major repeat- edly sent her, messages to the effect that if she did'nt leave he would kick her out, but that Mr. Holden always implored her to stay'en.

"The proposition that a wife with a separate estate has the right to insist on a servant being retained in her hus band's house regardless of that servant's conduct towards the husband is startling and far-reaching," said the judge, "and. if it could be supported. might lead to strange results.'

Judge Actos found that Frout was the major's servant, and if he had merely caused her to be put out, there would have been no claim, but in constraining} her to enter a waiting motor-ear in which she was guarded by a man servant and driving her six. miles against her will to the police station, where, she was. detained by the major, he overstepped the limits imposed by law.

Judgment would, therefore, be given for Prout for ten guineas and costs,

"THE SIMPLE, UNWORLDLY BISHOPS."

AN ADROIT PREMIER..

Mr. J. MacVeagh gave an amusing account in the House of Commons, re- cently, of the negotiations with the Welsh bishops and the Welsh Liberals as to who got the million pounds granted by the Treasury to obtain a settlement under the Welsh Church Act

He said the Prime Minister sent for the simple unworldly bishops and talked to them of the need of making terma 80 that henceforth all might live in peace and harmony. The Lishops departed saying what a charming and fascinating man he was and how completely they had misunderstood him,

Then he went for the Welsh members. He talked Christianity to the bishops and business to the Welsh, members. (Laughter.) Es made the bishops believe (Laughter.) But the trouble came when that they were getting ed.for 4d.

bo tried to make the Welsh members believe they were also getting ed. for ad. He brought in the hills and mountains. and told the Welsh members that it would be intolerable that the clouds of bank. rupley should be allowed to settle on their native land.

He said You have got to make your choice It is either the repeal of this Act or bankruptcy and red rain over our be loved Principality." The Welsh members protestell, but the" Prime Minister had got their mensure Half of them had got obs or titles, and the other half thought they ought to have them. (Laughter.)

Then one of them asked, What about the plunder?" Wers the county councile to get the plunder 1 The Prime Minister closed one eye and got the other oscillating and said I know another ben-roost. will make a raid on it, and everybody will be happy." (Loud laughter.)
