most of his early years in Paris While

Of Serbia. He was then plain Peter
Karageorgvitch, living in Paris and
Geneva in anything but royal style 1t
was not until the rival dynasty was
wiped out. by the assassination of the
king and Queen Draga, that the wan
dering Peter suddenly found himself
a king
During these Bohemian DAYS, Peter
mingled good deal among the Am
orleans visiting Paris In this way
he CHANGED to meet the daughter of
one of the merchant princes OF Chi
cago and showed her marked atten-
