Francesca Blondes Duca dell Isola, a
| tall, athletic Italian nobleman. wearing
Il monocle. arrived yesterday from Eu- ope
and told of very good reasons why Miss
katherine ElkinS should not be married
to the Duke of the Abruzzi, according TO
the New York World of today. The duke is
quoted as saying:
| Il know the Duke of the Ahruzz very
we'll and have also met Miss EllSins,
to whom | was introduced at the theater.
do not believe that they will eve. be
married. Do not misunderstood me. The
Italian royal family has the greatest ad-
miratIon for the American people, but
the ElkinS family has no royal blood.
The duke was reminded that Il gen
ealogist, who recently came back from
Europe, had said differently> aud replied:
"Oh. that was 400 years ago. The
Elkns family should have fresh royal
blood. The Duke of the Abruzzi doesn' |
need to wed for money. He has plenty
of his own. II he wished to marry for
! money he has plenty of chances He
might marry. for instance niece of
King Edwards, a princess"
This charmingly frank statement Is In
terest ng, as the duke is no stranger TO
this country and has kept well alb. east
of the romantic love affair OF his titled
countryman.
