EX-QUEEN WHO MAY VISIT US

One of the most deeply beloved of
the royalties of Europe is ex-Queen
Margherita of Italy, who. 1t is said.
will pay visit to the United States
in the fall. 1t has long been her am
bition to see the country where so
many of her race have found home,
but even royal personages cannot
travel when they choose. and the visit
had to be postponed. 1t is probable
that official recognition will be taken
of her coming.
The ex-queen is a daughter of the
late Prince Ferdinando of Savoy,
duke of Genoa. When only 16 years
old she became the bride of King
Humbert, second king of United
Italy, which this year is celebrating
the flftleth anniversary of It's inde-
pendence. Eleven years ago she was
left widow owing to the assassina-
ton of her husband by the Anarchist
Brescia. She is now so years old
and still retains much of her beauty

devoted herself greatly to charity and
