Royal Family ProdIaal.
The Italian royal family has been
prodigal of its own services for the
people of Italy. So when the cholera
felled hundreds of citizens the king
and queen were first at the bedside OF
the suffering and afflicted. When Mes
sina was destroyed the king and queen
rushed to Naples and embarked on a
man-of-war which was hurried to the
scene of the catastrophe. There they
personally succored the victims of the
earthquake.
Now another one of Italy's royal
women has taken up the burden of her
country's sufferings. This Is the
Duchess of Aosta, who not only en-
rolled herself as one of the devoted
band of Red Cross nurses that has
gone to Tripoli to care for the wound
ed of the Italian army. but she re-
fuses to accept any special attentions
due her royal rank.
In the camp she is known Simply
as Nurse No. 3, but the soldiers. who
worships this tender-hearted woman,
know well who Nurse No. is, and as
she passes through the wards of the
hospitals they kiss the hem of her
veil and bless the dynasty of Savoy
that gave Italy It's fine rulers and
splendid gentlewomen.
The Duchess of Aosta, whose hus-
band is In direct succession for the
throne of italy, is not distinguished in
any particular from the other nurses,
shares their humble cots, eats the
same food, does her full share of the
nursing, stands watch with the other
nurses and does not shrink from at
tending TIE soldiers of Italy at the
operating table.
1t is said that the king had de-
clared he would not permit any Of
the royal women to face the dangers
of nursing in Tripoli, danger due to
| the unscrupulous nature of the Arabs
and Tripolitans. who have proved
themselves treacherous and murder
Gus. The Duchess of Aosta did not an
nounce her intention of going, but en-
barked secretly, and it was not until
she was recognized after the transport
s.eamer had left Naples that she adj
mitted her identity.
