FLORENCE HAS
REAL PRINCESS

Florence has real princes-so they
say. and a count, too.
The distinguished couple are Count
Filippo Folchi and Princes Elvira of
Bourbon. The princess is said to be
daughter of Don Carlos, pretender to
the Spanish throne. The couple is
supposed to have eloped eight years
ago and are living in semi-retirement
in Florence because it is presumed
they were attracted by the name of the
town. The couple still possess great
deal of sentiment.
In the press Count Filippo is des-
cribed as a painter Whether he is
one of the kind who puts the oil land
scape on the cavass at 81, 900 per, or
an ordinary pa inter like some of ours
who dauhs the old barn over at l5 cents
the square, We are unable to say.
The Florence papers might give more
Information about their distinguished
residents.
