Royal Family Prodea!.
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

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. 8, but the soldiers, who
worships this tender-hearted woman,
know we'll 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 its 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 nursef,
shares their humble cots, eats the
same food. does her full share OF the
nursing, stands watch with the otheS
nurses and does not shrink from al
tending the soldiers OF Italy at the
operating table.
II 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, a danger due to
the INSCRIPTIONS nature Of the Arabs
and Tripolitans, who have proved
themselves treacherous and murder

nounce her intention Of going, but EN-
barked secretly, and it was not until
she was recognized after the transport
steamer had left Naples that she ad-
mitted her identity.

Two Ideas That Are Both Popular
and Effective Are in Strip or the
Diamond Design of Twine or
Monks Cloth.

Young girls have found a way 10
keen their nimble fingers busy In tne
making of rather odd bedspreaus' .
appropriate mostly for the roonis :
of bachelor brothers, friends OF even
uncles.
OF these new bedspreads there are
two kinds-those made or tWine anu
those made of monks cloth. Both are
nopular and effective. 1t is matter
of taste with a young girl whetnel
she wishes to crochet twine ped
spread or to sew together and rough
ly embroider one of monks cloth.
The twine bedspreads have taken
the place in the working OF neck
ties for crochet work. Happily they
are not all made in one piece, put u
many small squares or diamonds DC
cording to the design, which are sewn
together later. 1t is therefore an easy
matter to carry about In the worKpas
one or two pieces in process OF Ma
king and to take them out whenever
an opportunity offers for little light
crocheting.
The so-called twine used for these
bedspreads comes in large balls Ike
those of ordinary twine, and can De

Some girls are making these bed

and prefer them to the those that are
made out of numbers OF srnall
squares or diamonds. The strip de
sign gets rid of the labor of sewing
the many small pieces together. 1t Is
also equally pretty. The designs made
In small squares or diamonds are real
ly more elegant, for they follow pat
terms suggestive of cluny lace and are
done with finer twine than those III
strips. They are more for the young
girls own bedroom than for that or

note about such work is that 1T pro-

Castles and County Seats" by Try
phosa Bates Batcheller.
Mrs. Batcheller has had most unus-
ual opportunities for getting acquaint-
ed with Italy. She had the entree to
scores of homes OF Italian noblemen,
and her book--made up Of letters writ
ten home-is an account of journey
ings from one beautiful villa to anoth-
er.
In Rome, where she called on the
queen, she brought some presents to
the royal children. The queen as
sured her that the teddy bear she had
brought for the prince had made a
great hit, and that 1t was hard to get
it out of the youngsters hand
The queen mother invited Mrs.
Batcheller to sing at the palace. The
program was an ambitious one of
classical music. At the end Queen
Margherita asked for The Last Rose

In the course Of her journeyings
Mrs. Batcheller collected some inter-
esting gossip. At a dinner which she
gave in Rome she was disturbed as to
how to seat her guests. Finally she
placed former minister of foreign
affairs on her right and Count Grep-
pi, former ambassador to st. Peters
burg, on her left. She apologized to
the count on the ground Of un-

quired.

Always Lead Their Sheep.

Much has been made of the fact
that the shepherds of Palestine lead
their sheep. This custom has arisen.
OF course, through the absence OF
roads and the scanty nature OF the
pasturage found on the mountain
sides. 1t would be impossible to drive
the hocks from place to place unless
dogs were employed, and there are no
sheep dogs in eastern countries.

Smallest Republic.

The smallest republic in the world,
without exception. Is that OF Tavolara,
a Attie island situated about a dozen
kiiometers (seven and half miles)
from Sardinia. 1t is little more than
a mile in length, and has a population
of 30. The sovereignty of the island
was accorded in 1886 by Charles AL
bert to the Barteleoni family. Up to
1881 Paul l. reigned peaceably over
his little island kingdom. but at his
death the islanders proclaimed a re-
public. BY the constitution of the re-
public the president is elected for ten
years, and women exercise the fran
chise.
