FAMOUS
WOMAN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
November 13-Pineess GiovaHna Of
Italy, Lady Caroline Lamb.
tCourirht. lslI.l


Princess Giovanna Antonia Romano
Maria is seven years old today. She was
born in Rome in 1907, just two days after
the birthday of her royal father. the King
of Italy. Her official title is the Princess
of Savoie.
Lady Caroline Lamb. q famous English
beauty. who was born on. November u,
I7S5. had such original manners when she
was a child that her grandmother con-
suited a specialist about her. She had
been born OF English parents in Italy,
and when she went to England to live
with her conservative grandmother she
was little understood.
When she was twenty she married Lord
Melbourne, and a few years later fell
under the influence of the poet Byron,
who was three years her junior. She
spoke of him in her diary written at the
time as Byron, mad, bad, and dangerous
to know" In the end, however, he prob
ably found her as dangerous as he had
been, for after they had terminated their
friendship she wrote q novel containing
very unfiattering caricature Of the great
poet. When some friend of his once
asked him how he felt about II he feigned
Indifference. "As for the likeness" added
the poet, "the picture can't be good for
didn't sit long enough" ~
At the time Of this Byron episode Lord
MelDourne started proceeongs Tor regal
separation, but when the lawyers came
to execute the first papers they found
Lord Melbourne with his, wife. She was
seated at his side in their drawing-room
feeding him tiny scraps OF transparent
bread and butter" The nobleman was
entirely satisfied to remain with her when
she was in this devoted mood, and ap-
parently Lady Caroline had found him
more to her taste than the erratic Lord
Byron
In fact, Eady Caroline went 30 far as
to burn the poets letters and the minia-
ture portrait he had given her. She ar
ranged all these souvenirs on a funeral
pile on the grounds Of her estate. and
had the young farmers daughters Of the
neighborhood. clad in flowing white gar
ments, dance around 1t singing some fan
tastic song which she had composed for
the occasion.
Although Lord Melbourne never again
attempted to separate from his fascinat-
ing wife, she continued to exercise the
strange power Of her charm on the men
who came in contact with her. 1t is said
that as substantial an EnElishman as
Lord Lytton was at one time di eply in
love with her. It was impossible for one
who did not come under her influence to
understand the magic Of It. She was small

A Riddle.

Are the short skirts responsible for the
food-lookiag SHOES women are now wear

ponsible for the vogue for short skirts?
who knows? I-don't; and when I put
he question to one Of the leading au-
.horlties on women's shoes in Washing
on recently he couldn't answer the
question Did women decide TO wear
hort skirts because they couldn't en-
lure the thought Of having such pretty
hoes and such expensive stockings and
,ot show them, or did the fact that short
skfrts had come into vogue make them
lemand prettier. daintier and more dis
Iactive-looking shoes?
