FAMOUS CASTLE AS BOARDING HOUSE.

EX-EMPRESS WHO NEEDS MONEY, FOR CHILDREN.

Within a few weeks one Austria's most historial castles will be opened as a hotel and boarding-house. Wartholz Castle is owned by the ex-Empress Zitn,"

the and is the only castle in country still in possession of the ruling line of the once mighty Hapsburg Emperors.

It is at the foot of the Rax mountains, near Reichenau, about

an hour and a half from Vienna, and is one of the newest castles which the Hapsburgs built..

It was here that the last of the Hapsburg Emperor, the late Em-) peror Charles, brought the ex- for Empress Zita as his bride their honeymoon in October 1911. Here, also, "King Otto" was born on November 20, 1912.

In one room hangs the costly! coronation dress in which Princess Zita, was crowned Queen of Hungary, with its long train brocaded with thread of pure gold.

For more than ten years It has been unoccupied. Forced by the high cost of keeping up the estate and by the need for money to educate her children, ex-Empress Zita has been compelled to lease it to a syndicate, who will open it as a boarding house in June.
