borne by the scion Of the reigning house Of Italy

been in Santo DOMINICAN and Haytian waters look
ing after italian interests. The prince, who. be-
sides being created Prince OF Udine last year
was likewise invested with the predicate OF royal
highness," 70 which he would not otherwise have
been entitled. viii attain his twenty-frst birthday
a fortnight hence iE a sub-lieutenant Of the navy,
and the eldest OF the five children Of the Duke and
Duchess OF Genoa The Duke Of Genoa is the only
brother OF Queen Marguerite. and her father. the
late Prince Ferdinand, Duke Of Genoa a
younger brother Of old King Victor Emmanuel.
The present Duke Of Genoa has been in this coun-
try on several occasions. notably at the time Of
the Centennial IN 1876. in connection with his naval
duties, left agreeable impression, due in part
his frank. sailor-like manners and 70 his per-
feet English. acquired while at school at Harrow,
near London. and is the ranking admiral of the
Italian Navy. The Duchess Of Genoa is a Bavariau
princess. and the only one IN Europe whose hair is
absolutely red. There is abundance of il. and
she has the wonderfully beautiful complexion that
usually goes theFeN1th. She eXcels in al athletic
exercises sWtEns and dives like hsh, is wonder
fully clever with the foilS and with the four-in-
hand whip and each year makes q long distance
ride from Turin Venice TO Munich with her hus-
band and suite the whole distance being covered
on horseback. While living at Venice the duke and
duchess became very intimate with the present
Pope when he was Patriarch there, and they have
not only visited him at the Vatican being received
In private audience but have also been accorded his
blessing IN public during Of the great ecclesi-
astical ceremonies In ST. Peters. The duchess has
but one fault She is the most frightfully un-
punctua of all royal princesses, does not know the
value OF time or the necessity OF keeping an ap-
pointment. and will sometimes fail 70 turn up at
state banquets owing to her having forgotten all
about the engagement. She is a very charming.
warm hearted and gifted woman, wonderfully popu-
lar IN Northern Italy, and idolized by her husband
and by her children.
