Nov. 14.?The romantic story of the courtship of Prince Vic tor Napoleon and Princess Clemen tine Is retold in the French and Bel gium press on this, their wedding day. the nuptials which were celebrated at Moncalirie, Italy, are described as a happy example of princely love tri umphing over royal barriers. The papers recite how the late King Leopold steadfastly refused to permit the marriage of his favorite daughter to the claimant of the '? throne Of a friendly power. Since the ascension of King Albert it was I known that the royal objections had boon removed. This \sas largely duo I to the tactful attitude of the prince himself, who always refrained from attending official fetes and ceremonies at Brussels and from in any way em barrassing the relations of Belgium and France.
