DRINKS FROM FINGER BOWL
Italian Duchess Wins Friends by Act
to Relieve Neighbor's EN-

Rome.-One of the most charming
figures in the recent festivities here
has been that of the Duchess De San
Lorenzo Dampierre, nee Princess Rus
poll of Poggio Suasa. She Is a niece
of Princess Eugenia Ruspoli, who was
Miss Berry of Washington. Her
sweetness gives her as many admir-.
ers as her beauty, which is of the
dark italian order. In spite of his
French name, her husband is an
Italian.
At recent dinner the duchess sat
near foreign lady who did not know
the use of finger bowls, and solved
the difficulty by slipping some of the
water out of the one placed before
her. The duchess noticed the horri
fed looks of the other people at the
table; the stranger did. too; saw she
had made mistake and grew Grim.
son with confusion, so the duchess
.aised her own finger bowl to her lips
and took a sip out of it, too This
graceful little act was much appre-
,iated by everybody at the table.
The duchess has now gone to the
italian lakes, in which district her
husband owns villa.
Ambassador Page has taken large
apartment at Fiuggi for the summer.
This is a favorite spot for people who
want to get out of Rome, but must
not go too far. The Pages will have
as near neighbors the Prince and
Princess Mirko of Montenegro. who
are stopping at the Palazzo del Fonte,
at F4uggi. The prince is brother to
Italy's queen. He married a beauti.
ful Montenegrin, daughter of General
Constantinovitch. Lately there we're
rumors of divorce, for the prince is a
well-known philanderer, but the queen

Of Montenegro have managed to bring

At North Fort Worth the erection OF
three brick buildings left small court

This court has for some time been
the playground Of unusually big rats

rows cannot live together is a set.

have decided that the rats must leave,
and daily they are killing them on In
large numbers.
The sparrows roost on the tons OF
tho buildings overlooking the court
and whenever a rat ventures forth to
scurry from one hole to another a
flock OF sparrows descends upon him
and In short while they peck him
