NEW YOIIK , Sept. 27 A romantic cour ship , which began nt the Auurian spa jui two years ugo , will end In a wedding In th city parly In December.

Sixty-third street , Now York , and the bridt groom ts Herr Ocar Von Calm of the Nlntl Hussars of DuU , nlilo-de-camp Horldetary Ferdinand LMo , who will succeed the pro : ostoranoror , Franz Jojoph , on the throne o Austria. What will surprise Miss Calm' friends and co-religionists is the fact tha she will renounce her faith and become communicant of the Catholic church , t which her Intended husband belongs. Ijovo lit First Si ; lit. The history of the courtship teems witl romance. It was n case of love at tirs sight. Miss Cuhn and Lieutenant Vet Calm metal Baden , n fashionable watering place near Vienna , n year ago last summer , She and her parents had spent the seasoi abroad and after doing Europe settled dowr In a villa not far from the springs. Hen Von Calm first saw Miss Calm on the promo- node , again at an afternoon concert , and , so , for two months , the couple were thrown Into each other's society without being formally introduced. The kind offices of a mutual friend brought them together and from that time they were lovotod lovers. Miss Cahn treasured her iffection for the young lieutenant , ns'a secret. 3ho confided in no one , not oven her parents. I'ho lieutenant did likewise. And so it hap- > enod their meetings through the season : ausod no comment. Miss Cahn is n striuingly handsome girl , ,0 , years old , tall and distinguished , with a ivell rounded figure. Her hair la glossy black and her face n rich tint , suggesting icr oriental origin. The season over Miss Cnhn accompanied icr parents back to America and Von Calm o-joinod his regiment. Before parting , "on Calm confessed his love , which was ro- iprocated. Ho promised to marry Miss ! nhn , provided the gulf which divided them ould bo bridged over. This seemed to bo n almost hopelest task , in view of the many bstaclos themselves. Miss Cahn Is a Jewess nd Austrian etiquette does not tolerate her uco In court society. Ilerr Von Cahn belongs to the most ox- luslvo of Austrian families. His father Is a ch retired banker.andhis brother is premier entenant of the Ninth Hussars , of which 10 heir of Russia , Is the honorary colonel , his brother is married to the Countess , salary , and the family has mauv dnwiratlona wealth and the luxurious style her Beyond Uvo , Mi Cahti was un- "h.M. nu . . - " " affairs she attended wcro nown. The only 10 solres given nt the various hotels , to Inch everybody at the Spa was welcome , rich. So much wealth on Calm , too , was as not as important us it might have been rider other circumstances. These wore the lain obstacles which the ardent lieutenant 3t abouf to remove. His parents refused oint-blank to listen to his suit. They made 11 sorts of threats in case he persisted In lurrying Miss Cahn , and absolutely refused ) recognize her. Several officers ot Von lulm's regiment Interceded In his bejinlf , but to no purpose. Nothing daunted , Von Calm turned to his colonel , Duke Ferdinand , and the duko's answer was a kind yet a firm refusal. He appl'iuded the honesty and the sincerity of his officer's affection , but such a marriage was out of the question. Ho told Von Calm plainly that In case It was 'consummated his presence at the Austrian court would become intolerable aud hence tils resignation from the service must follow. To conciliate the to attach him young man the duke promised to his suite when ho ascended the throne , but oven this tempting oftor did not cause Von Calm to waver lu his devotion to the woman of his choice. All Olistncles Itcinovcd. For a time ho despaired of over marrying the girl ho loved. Ho continued to perform his duties ns adjutant of the regiment , out took no part In its social affairs. Last spring ho accompanied the duke to Uerlln to witness the maneuvers of the German army. While there ho ag'iln broached the subject to the duke and bogged him to give his sanction to the marrlairo. As before the duke tried to reason with Von Calm to whom ho was much attached , but seeing that the young ofllcer was determined ho finally guvo his consent the assurance that ho would not marry Mlss upon Cahn unless she became converted to the faith of the Austrian court. Ho went so near as to write to Miss Calm's family , staling upon what terms ho bad given tils consent. Von Calm's mother , who is one of the haughtiest ladles of Vienna , was the last to give In , and It was ttrough the kind ofllccs of the duke In only her son's behalf that she finallv relented. Thus the last obstacle was removed , and Von uriuo. Calm sent the Joyous news to nis . U hen Miss Cahn returned to Baden In and was ac Calm proposed J uly last , Von cented. The girl's parents nt first strenuously ob jected to her renouncing her faith. They were wllllni ; to receive Von Calm as a son- in-Uw. but they were loath to have their daughter give up the religion of her fathers. LOVU finally triumphed and th- ) older Calms gave their consent. The engagement was not made public , however , in fact , every thing wus'oono to keep It from being known. Lieutenant Von Calm obtained n leave of nosouco for ono year , and four WOOKS ago bo arrived hero on the Normandu with bin father and took quarters nt the Hotel Bruns wick. Miss Cahn Is still in Europe , preparing her trousseau , and will return early In October , on the Fuorst Bismarck , on which passage has bqen taken for her. Von Calm U resid ing here very quietly. Be has not made his presence known to any of his many friends In this city. Mr. Cahn Is ono of the wealthiest real es tate owners up town , and is reputed to bo worth moro than a million. He 1s an importer of glassware. MUs Cahn U well known In society here , and the now * of her marriage and the connecting circumstances surround ing It , will undoubtedly surprise h r many friends.
