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.

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

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

white orchid who would be with
another one he's never seen and
couldn't describe.
"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!
