but to have on a plain overall and to
be able to rush about the garden with
some of her animals is Joy. Once on
their return from the country to
Rome the royal family drove In semi
state up to the palace, and Princess
Yolanda, in her best clothes, bowed
graciously to the cheering people all
the way, frequently admonishing her
younger sisters to do the same. When
she reached the palace she rushed up
to the nurseries in great haste to get
a more serviceable frock, and noticed
that papering and whitewashing had
been going on and everything was
very clean and white everywhere. In
dismay at these fearfully clean sur
roundings, which she knew meant
more care about dirty fingers and
dusty boots, she ran out into the gar.

donkey, and said, with relief in every

wanna the youngest, is just a fat,
good-tempered baby.
The pet Of the family, of course, IS
Umberto. the third child and only son.
He is just seven, has his fathers mild,
quiet ways, but is like his mother in
appearance and possesses much of her
intelligence and spirit. Though he
has ponies of his own, he likes to get
on one of the big horses in the stable,
and would go off alone if a strict eye
were not kept on him. Already he
can speak French quite fiuently and is
learning German and English as well.
He is interested in the army and
navy, but his preference seems to be
for the navy, and he has expressed a
wish to serve on an Italian man-of
war when he is old enough.
The Italian royal household may be
said to be one of the happiest in
Europe. 1t was love match between
the king and queen, and King Victor
is as much in love with his beautiful
wife now as he was when he first saw
her; and his happiest moments are
when he can put off cares Of state for
time, leave Rome and spend long
summer days with his wife and chill
dren at their country place, riding,
fishing or boating. Just as the fancy
takes him.

BOY SCOUTS FIGHT FLAMES

Of sheds to other frame structures and
within 80 yards was the new $4,000
barn, one of the finest in the county.
The scouts, while on a cycling trip,
had stopped to spend the night with
Superintendent Bovine, relative of
one Of the lads. Taught the science
of firefghting in their scout work,
both boys got into action at the first
alarm. While many of the inmates
stood about too dazed to act the
scouts aided the superintendent in un-
reeling the fire hose, and Oliver, with
one line, scaled the roof of an adjoin-
ing barn and directed stream on the
flames from above. while Taylor, with
another stream, fought them from be-
low.
The two streams checked the flames
on the side adjoining the nearest barns
until the arrival of the local depart
ment from the nearby village. Taylor
then gave up his place to a regular
fireman and calling together a few
volunteers to aid him, worked his way
into the blazing barn, where the bleat-
ing Of the imprisoned and suffocating
sheep could be heard above the

in Europe Yet it is fact that most
modern queens are particularly care
ful mothers. They have to be. Queen
Elena is tall, has an imposing car
riage, a girlish figure, a splendid
wealth of dark hair, wonderfully ex-
pressive eyes, finely cut features ana
mouth showing character and deter
mination, She often declares that her
happiest hours are spent with her
children.
As soon as her first simple meal OF
rolls and coffee is finished in the
morning, she goes to their nurseries.
When they were much younger it was
her great delight to give them their
tub, but now she merely presides
over their breakfast, and plays and
romps with them until they are ready
/ to go out The children's rooms are
/ furnished with the utmost simplicity,
! designed TO give a maximum of light
| and air and a minimum of dust-con-
tanning draperies and carpets. Plain
brass bedsteads and polished wooden
furniture only are allowed. In the
playroom, quite inexpensive toys may
be seen-dolla, soldiers, engines and
the ordinary playthings dear to every
child.
Queen Elena has earned the title Of
the babies queen" in Italy through
her love Of all children. Since her
marriage she has established many
children's hospitals and creches.
Hardly day passes, when she is in
Rome, that she does not visit one of
these institutions. She has also
caused a revival of the lace-making
industry by establishing schools
where Italian girls are being taught.
Many of the fine old patterns which
were in danger of being lost have
been resuscitated through her inter
est. Her devotion to sufferers during
the Messina earthquake and the erup-
ton Of Vesuvius is Of too wide knowl-
edge to need more than mention here.
This beautiful queen is the daugh-
ter Of the simple, homely, old-fash-
ioned king of Montenegro. For the
first ten years of her life she ran wild
like any other little peasant girl of
the country. She could ride any pony
bareback, but her favorite recreation
was mountain climbing Montenegro
is full Of mountains, so the little prin-
cess had plenty Of scope for her hob
by. No climb was too difficult for
her, as she did not know what fear
meant When still quite young a gypsy
told her that one day she would be a
queen. Her father, who was inordin-
ately fond of his handsome daughters,
made up his mind that she was des-
tined for the throne of Russia so she
was sent to the Smolna institute in
Saint Petersburg, where she studied
French, English, music and the usual
accomplishments of a finishing young
lady. The present czar of Russia was
introduced to her in due course, but
Cupid soon found there was nothing
doing between the pair and things
went no further
A little more knowledge on the
gypsy's part would have made things
smoother for the beautiful Elena.
Shortly afterward the young prince
of Naples, as King Victor then was.
on his travels around the courts Of
Europe on the lookout for a wife,
came, saw and was conquered at
once by Elena's dark loveliness. For
the first few months their courtship
was carried on in foreign language
as she did not know one word of Ital-

that she was sending a number of ex
