PRINCEssEs WHO COULD DO
THINGS.
In these delightful surroundings the
prlncesses Of Montenegro grew M TO
be SPLENDID specimens OF Nomanhood.
As children they enjoyed the greatest
liberty and escaped the restraints OF
court etiquette which are the curse OF
most ROYAL boys and girls. In the Sc
we're winters which are experienced IN
the country Of the black hills, AZ Mon
tcnegro is called I'm the Balkans the
princeeses were encouraged to harden
their constitutions by sleighing rum
ming IN snowshoes, skating and indulge
ing IN other cold weather sports ana
pastimes. At the warmer seasons or
the year they made long excursions into
the wooded and mountainous Interior
and paid frequent visits to the princes
villa on the shore OF the Adriatlc sea-
BY the time they were In their teens
they could ride horse bareback, drive
n four-ln- hand, hunt and shoot, ana
swim and sail or row boat to perfec-
ton.
While thus enjoying childhood TO the
full the royal girls were educated by
French and German tutors and govern
ePyes, who polished off the roughness
which might otherwise have become
apparent In their characters. Prince
Nicholas allowed each OF his daughters
to run wild In Montenegro until l6 years
OF aga after which the princesses were
sent TO Vienna and Paris to gain
knowledge of the western world with
its totally different manners and GUS
toms. After attaining her seventeenth
birthday each princess spent six months
of the year abroad and six months In
Montenegro, and this plan proved TO be
an effective finish 10 an excellent
scheme Of education The Montenegro
princesses developed from tomboy girls
into women Of unusual grace ana
beauty OF exceptional personal distinc-
ton and Of remarkable talent in many
directions.
