I:' i i V WW 3 ... i ti r EVERY MOMENT WAS DEDICATED to enjoyment of the lake, the trees and the scenery in general at Lake of the Woods even when "just relaxing" after a swimming session, s pictured above. The photographer broke up the aquatic interlude to corral the scattered subjects long enough to get them all in one group-shot last Saturday afternoon. From the left, Princesses lldiko and Sarolta, Mrs. George A. Myers, Countess Lorraine, George Myers and Leslie Hadfy. The countess, her daughters and Hadfy were houseguests of the Myers from San Francisco. Catherine Lorraine, as she prefers to be known, is the widow of Archduke Albrecht of Hapsburg-Lorraine (the un crowned King of Austria-Hungary). She and their two daugh ters have been in the United States for about five years Hadfy, over six. They were old family friends before coming to this country. (See story.) Photo by Milly Ramsby FORMER ARCHDUCHESS PRIZES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP Br MILLY RAMSBY With her titles of archduchess and countess behind her by her own choice the widow of Arch duke Albrecht of Hapsburg-Lorraine, who, as his wife, was Arch duchess Julian Katalin von Hapsburg-Lorraine, is now an Ameri can citizen, living in San Fran cisco, where she is known simply as Catherine Lorraine, mother of two teen-age daughters. Princess Sarolta, 15; and Princess lldiko, 13. Her problems are the 6ame as any verage American widow, faced with the responsibility of rearing two healthy and attractive girls. Except that her problems are In no sense of the word "average" . to her. A countess by birth, she was equipped through careful training as a girl and later by association with high ranking and titled families of the world for her role as a gracious hostess in any of the several family seats maintained by her and her hus band on their vast estates. That picture was changed and distorted by various Influences ex erted from without the results of which are now history but for Catherine Lorraine, it was no mere "change" in 1950, it was a complete reversal of everything her life had been until that time. That was the year she left for the United States. Transplanted from all things familiar she p 'rived In Boston with two chil' to support and "how to do ntirely up to her. background supplied no ng as a wage earner and i s what she had to be and , soon. It was a year later that she .found steady employment and could see some semblance of se- .' curity for herself and her two young daughters. The Catherine Lorraine of today Is a vivacious, charming and alert woman. She Is the woman I was Interested in. And the woman she Is interested me. At the tea given for her by Mrs. .George Myers, her easy-to-meet manner made me eager to know better this woman who had shed her titles and who discounts them even as a social courtesy. Slim and trim, the handsome Catherine Lorraine shrugs them off with "I was given my Ameri can citizenship on May 3, this year that is the important thing the titles they are nothingl As a citizen of this country I have no right to them." She was on vacation from her clerical work wilh a picture dis tributing company and was house guest of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Myers in town and at their sum mer cottage at Lake of the Woods. When I got there Saturday early afternoon she was swimming and reluctantly got out of the water even though it was a little cooler than "invigorating." She looked around her and across the lake at the mountains and said "I've dreamed and dreamed of this! this setting it's like the coun try I grew up In. Nostaligic me mories were all she had until nils first trip to Oregon. She said It was startling In fact, the moun tains and the lake and the seen ery in general could actually "be" her native country. I asked her how she knew the Myers and she said "The story of that is also the story of the happy turning point in my life in this country! " Several articles about the arch' duchess had been published in the San Francisco papers including Dictures. and Mrs. Myers' sister. Mrs. Dan (Katherine) Robertson. who lives in nearby Atherton. was esoecially interested In the Haps burg-Lorraine part of the title. She wrote to Catherine Lorraine and Introduced herself telling her that her own family were descend ed from the Hansburgs. She gave her phone number and asked the subject of the newspaper accounts for hers. Arrangements were made to meet at the St. Francis Hotel. Catherine Lorraine said "You know the old," I'll wear a black suit and a white orchid corsage so you'll recog nize me!" But that's actually the way It was. Katherine Robertson was to wear the identifying orchid. The other Catherine kept the appoint ment and waited and waited. Lone ly and in a country still strange to her at that time she was at first happily awaiting the appearance oi a mack suit ana wmte orcnia on a person who seemed really interested in her. So she waited and waited some more pacing back and forth in front of the hotel by now. Countless black suits of course, in San Francisco but no orchid. Thoroughly deflated she was about to give up when she went Into the lobby to phone or do something "maybe Just cry" when she saw a women In a black suit standing near the wall across the lobby wearing a conspicu ous white orchid. "Yes, I'm Cath erine" "Yes I'm Katherine" after that exchange Katherine Robertson took over they were to meet Dan Robertson who had a table reserved for them. But in the dining room the waiter's face was blank. "Reservations? I'm sorry, but we haven't any reservations." Then his eye caught sight of a white orchid only it was now on the other Catherine and in getting acquainted they'd forgotten that the "identification badge", had been switched. A light of recognition replaced the blank look and he led them di rectly to the husband who had told the waiter to look for a SCOTTIE LEE natty and debonair young man, is bVi months old son of Mr. and Mrs. James A.

"Since then" Catherine Lor raine gratefully reflected "much more than the nnme "Hapsburg" has been shared." Eventually the trip to Klamath Falls was suggested and developed into a reality. Catherine Loraine is a unique experience to me. I've met alt kinds of women in this country who were working every day and facing problems day and night but not one of them until this past week turned out to be an archduchess! v''v- ..... .
