Engaged. Dr. Maximilian Hohenberg, 24, eldest son of the assassinated Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by his morganatic wife; to Elizabeth, Countess von Waldburg. As everyone knows, the children of a morganatic marriage are legitimate and the marriage, though it confers no rank upon the lesser party, is valid to the extent of precluding any other legal union while it exists. Individuals such as "Prince Louis de Bourbon," self-styled "brother of the King of Spain," often inform gullible pressmen that they are the result of a morganatic union, though another term would be more appropriate.

*Lawyers for both parties issued the following statement: "It is to be regretted that any publicity in connection with the separation of Mr. and Mrs. Cravath is necessary. There is nothing to say except that it is true that Mrs. Cravath has decided she prefers to live apart from her husband, and Mr. Cravath, while regretting the separation, has yielded to Mrs. Cravath's wishes in that regard. "Mrs. Cravath has taken an apartment at No. 910 Fifth Avenue, where she will reside. Mr. Cravath will continue to live at his present residence in New York and at his country place at Locust Valley, L. I. "In answer to a further inquiry, Mr. de Gersdorff and Mr. Sullivan said that a divorce was not contemplated or desired by either party."
