IQe uneCIlOn OF an American professor
of physical culture, has completely
outgroWn all his former constitutional
delicacy and has developed into a stall
wart, we'll set up young man, brimu of good humor,
and extremely we'll behaved, differing in this respect
from of his cousins. In the event of anything
untoward happening to his brother the Gar, he
would undoubtedly, next but in the line of
succession, be intrusted with the regency during
the minority of the infant Czarowitch.
Grand Dukes Boris and Andrew of Grand
Duke Vladimir, and Grand Duke Sergils, youngest
son of old Grand Duke Michael, are also among the
Young unmarried scions of the House of Romanoff.
But all three have acquired an unenviable reputa-
the disorder of their lives, and cannot therefore be
recommended candidates for the matrimonial
market. Grand Duke Constantine, the poet of the
reigning House of Russia has boy by the name of
John who will be twenty-one in June, and another
boy who will be twenty in July. Neither of them,
however, enjoys the rank of Grand Duke of
Imperial Hlghness; for in Russia, in England,
in Italy and in Spain the prerogatives of royalty
disappear in the fourth generation of descent from
the sovereign. Thus, Prince John and Prince
Gabriel are great tgrandsons of Emperor Nicholas l.
Any American girl marrying Romanoff would be
expected to join the orthodox church. This is
rendered to all intents and purposes obligatory by
the family statutes governing the relgnlng house
of Russia.
Italy too has quite long list of marriageable
Princes of the Blood first and foremost among whom
is Louis, the Duke of the Abruzz Captain of the
navy, who has achieved much fame by being the
first to make the ascent of Mount Elias in Alaska,
and Of Mount Ruwenzor in Central Africa, and also
By his Arctic explorations, which took him farther
north than Nansen The Duke, who born at
Madrid infant of Spain during his fathers
brief tenure of the throne of the Hidagos, has
been assigned to the command of the Italian men
of war taking part in the international naval demon
straton in connection with the jamestown cele-
bratlcn, and will spend sometime in America before
returning home. His brother, Prince Victor, Count
of Turin is also still bachelor being firmly resolved
to wed to whom he cannot give his heart;
and the Duke of Genoa, only brother of Queen
Margaret, and ranking Admiral of the Italian navy
has a good looking boy, twenty-five years old,
Fernando by name, sailor by profession, who bears
the poetic title of Prince of Udine.
Hunting for Bride
THE eldest of the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess of Sweden is married to Princess Mar
garet of Great Britain But their second boy, Prince

not yet forty the artist son of King Oscar who is
a painter of note. He has many American friends,
acquired while studying art in Paris, where he lived
under the name of M. Eugene" without any of
intends very shortly send number of his pictures
for exhibition this side of the Atlantic.
The Crown Prince of Servia, now twenty years
old, would require, if all the stories about him
true, a of considerable determination to
keep him in order. But there many of his future
subjects who live in the hope that marriage will
have SOLDERING effect upon his character and
be slightly disordered account of his excesses.
