do arrange themselves to a woman's credit
I have perfect genius for meeting the right
person at the wrong moment.
Perhaps some of my American friends
who have never had the honor of humping
into king would like to know something
of ones emotions under the circumstances.
Well, frankly, good people, there is no other
emotion on earth comparable to it. We are
a republic; we scorn the nobility; we believe
in the equal rights of man. No one is any
better than his neighbor (unless he has a
little more money!, but bring us face to face
with royalty and we lose our heads COM
pletely. Now, as far as I am concerned,
everyone knows me to be a true daughter OF
the Stars aud Stripes. As for running into
distinguished people, that is quite an old
story with me. I have met dukes and
barons and counts and lords. and never lost
either my head or my heart, but to meet a
king-well, that is altogether horse of
another color.
A Peep at the Prince.
Later on I saw the Crown Prince. A
smooth-faced boy with fair sprinkling of
down on the upper lip; an eye glass. suit
of the latest EnglIsh-cut clothes and-a
smile-in word, this distinguished young
sprig of the nobility resembles an out and
out English dude. He lifts his hat in the
most condescending manner. His air says
plainly enough: "Lo, behold mel am the
Prince OF Naples"
As we know altthis, the information pals
upon us little. suppose should be put
to the torture If breath of what am say
ing should reach the fierce ."Italiannos,"
but between you and me, I honestly believe
that that young fellows blood is not alto
gether a pure 22-carat mixturei If there
isn't something plebeian in his manner of
lifting his hat then don't know a
thoroughbred dog when I see him. Good
heavens, what am I saying, I mean
thoroughbred prince, of course. What put
dog into my fighty head was the picture OF
Victorio Ehanuello hanging opposite
me on the wall. 1t looks for all
the world like my little King Charles
but I think of him. 1 don't mean this ir-
relevantly atall. On the contrary, it is great
complement to His Majesty. My King
Charles is the most beautiful creature i'm
aginable. The very "king of dogs" as His
Highness was the "king of kings"
King Humberto's Health.
King Humberto is not in good health. For
long time he has suffered with some mys-
terious illness which no one knows much
about, except that it is a malady which has
afflicted him for years. Thus it is that the
crown weighs heavily on his royal head. I
am genuinely sorry for King Humberto. I
like him. He would have been. still higher
in my esteem had he remembered me when
saw him an hour later at the station. But he
didn't. Perhaps if had had my bangs
properly curled-ah mel Who knows. Our
fate hangs on such slender hinge.
Still, l like King Humberto. And am
glad bumped into him. I am sure he is q
more agreeable person than his son and heirs
will ever be. The Prince of Naples how
ever, is said to be young highness of con-
siderable character. From his earliest boy
hood he was remarkable for his passionate
love of study. In this be served as a model
for all his little cousins and play
mates. To attend school was his
hearts delight. The Prince entire nous is
said to be prig. One of his tutors thus
describes him.
From Tutors Standpoint.
From the age OF 10 he arose at dsybreak
took cold bath, followed by a basin of
soup, and then commenced his lessons. If
he was few minutes late in getting up his
broth was kept for him later on. After his
lessons, fair or cloudy weather, rain, hail,
snow or shine, the Prince went for a ride on
horseback. During the balance OF the day
the gaining OF knowledge and physical exer-
else alternated with one another, SO that
not moment of the entire day was unoccu-
pied.
Even his pastimes were studies. He had
small Notifications in the park, collections
of ancient coins, natural history, art and
photographs. When he was IL years of age
he spoke fuently French, italian and Eng
lsh, having had - gouyernaute an English
