more than six months after she left her husband and nearly three
months after her divorce.

Louise desired to retain Anna Monica in her own custody, but though the
child's fathership is in doubt, to say the least, Frederick Augustus
insisted upon the little one's transference to his care.

_Allowance Raised and a Further Threat_

King Frederick Augustus raised Louise's allowance to $12,000 per year,

members of the royal family of Saxony, or if the said Countess
Montiguoso contributes to any such libellous publication in any manner

certain civil ceremony entered into by Louise and Frederick Augustus

composer and pianist of small reputation.

This marriage was performed civilly. They have one child, a boy, about
whose custody the now legally separated parents have instituted several
actions in law. The boy has now been allotted to the care of Toselli's
mother.

_King Did Not Marry Again_

King Frederick Augustus, though by the laws of Saxony and Germany
allowed to contract a second marriage, has not availed himself of the
license, probably in deference to the wishes of the Vatican. At the same
time he spurned all of Louise's attempts at reconciliation, the most
dramatic of which was her _coup de tete_ of December, 1904, when she
went to Dresden "to see her children," was arr
