Abrusii Is estimated At -. 900. 1000. He
has less than his brothers, owing to
the fact that he has met personally the
expenses of his various expeditions.
but there is still more property yet to
be divided among the brothers. He
has q private income from his moth.
er's estate of about $4,000 year. AS
an admiral OF the royal navy. he re-
cefves an annual salary of about
$4,000 and from the royal treasury he
receives close to $4,000, a year.
As the duke spends nearly all his
time exploring the wilds and the most
dangerous corners Of the world, It Is
reasonable to suppose that his wife
will be his companion in his future
expeditions. As Miss Elkins 10 thor
ough sportswoman, she IL doubtless
a. capable as any man Of scaling
mountain peaks. She has even init
mated to some of her very intimate
girl friends that she and the duke will
spend their honeymoon In an expedi-
ton to some out Of the way corner Of
the globe.
Met ae Washington Ball.
The duke met Miss Elxins at q ball
In Washington given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Larz Anderson. Col. Bromwell, aide
to President Roosevelt, introduced the
handsome young Italian prince to the
senator's daughter.
Everybody In Washington sxerted
themselves to entertain the duke when
he was here officially, but 1t was left
to Miss Elkins to make the ten-strike
Let me do something for YOU" she
caId, chatting one day with the duke
'I'll give you q dinner, a dance or Z
theater party"
"Tn take them ALL" answered the
duke promptly.
SO, one day, many Of the friends Of
Miss Elkins received cards to dinner
In honor Of the duke of the Abruzzi
After the dinner Miss Elkins an
nounced that they would attend the
theater. and on they were whirled in
autos. After the theater the entire
party was whizzed up to Rauscher's,
the Sherry's of Washington, where
Miss Elkins had invited a party for
dancing.
To his amazement the duke had en-.
joyed a dinner, the theater and q
dance all in one evening.
But that is nothing new for Miss
Elkins. She has always had her own
way. She is the only daughter Of the
senator by his second marriage. She
is girl of brilliant mind, much origin.

There Is . strain of old-time chival-
~ In Prince Louis that has figured
largely as an Incentive to his deeds
Of daring. He may be said to have In
herited It from his father, the late
duke of Aosta, who was such a VIVID
reminder Of the knights of the middle
ages that he seemed to be out of place

which he accepted only with the ut
most reluctance and from sense Of
duty. he contemptuously abandoned It
after three years. rather than submit
to political compromises which were
rendered necessary by the situation,
but which constituted too great .
strain upon his conscience.
King Amadeus Respected.
The .Spaniards are perhaps the
proudest nation in Europe. and the
people are imbued with q sense Of per-
sonal dignity which IL carried often
times to absurd lengths. The disdain-
tul manner In which King Amadeus
flung aside his scepter and doffed his
crown because he could not reconcile
his notions of honor and chivalry with
theirs created a profound impression
among them. Although he was never
loved, It Is doubtful whether Spain
e-sr had ruler more deeply and uni.

tho blood Of his day who could CLAIM,

In which he commanded one Of the di

ical science. One Of his hands lacks
three fingers. frozen OF in his memor.

The duke was born In Madrid, while
his father had the throne. II was
only q few days prior to the abdication
of Amadeus. and he was baptized not
only as prince Of Savoy. but also as
an infanta Of Spain.
His Name Free from Scandal.
Clean-lived and with his name un-
touched by any kind Of scandal, he en-.
tertains the most romantic affection
for his aunt, Queen Marguerite. who
played the part Of mother to him
after the death Of Queen Victoria,
while he was yet In infancy. He has
shown his devotion in many touching
ways. When he scaled and explored
Ruwenzori. he gave her name to its
Hottest peak. He is the third Of three
brothers, the two elder being the duke
of Aosta and the count of Turin. He
has also a half-brother, Count Salemi

Princess Letitia Bonaparte.
