King Supports Governess.

Quite a stir was caused some time ago
run in athletic clothes about the beach
and woods of Castel Porziana. the sum
mer home of the royal family The
Objecting court ladies, when they at
tempted to discuss the matter with the
king, were asked If strong bodies were
not to be preferred to snowy clothing
The women of the royal nursery have
also on several occa Sions discovered
that this E,nglishwoman's will was
law. Once it was about the question
of dolls. These playthings We're ruled
out and have stayed ruled out of the
nursery.
, Like the girls of the family. young
Prince Humbert. the heir to the throne,
is very fond of Miss Brown whose in
fiuence has been extended to his edu-
cation in some measure. She exerted
her influence in securing the intro
duction of the Boy Scout movement
into Italy. the prince being its COM
manderin-chief and the king contrib
uting a million dollars a year TO its
support.
During the war. though with her
usual unobtrus!veness, Miss Brown has
taught the girls the English methods
of helping in charities. While the Ital-
ianS are charitable people their
charities have not before been organ
lied on the large scale made necessary
by the war.
With the marriage of Yolanda. the
work of the English governess will not
be finished by any means since there
still remain Princess Mafalda, who
was fourteen years of age November
10. and Princess Giovanni who was
nine years of age November IS.

GIRL SCOUTS ANSWER
SANTA CLAUS LETTERS
Those Sent Through The Star Will
Bring Results to Writers as
Far as Possible.

The Girl Scouts of Washington have
actively begun the work of answering
the letters addressed to Santa Claus
through The Star, ard within a few
days many poor children-and some
rich ones too-will have it practically
DEMONSTRATED that with their aid he
will at least try very hard to visit
all of them.
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of
the local Captains Association, this
morning took over the letters that have
been received by The Star and is dis
tributing them among the various
troops of girls. The troops will indi-
vidually handle the cases that are
within their respective territories.
Mrs, Rafter said this morning that
there seem to be three classes of let
ters-those from wellto-do children,
who are writing to Santa Claus and
asking for nearly every conceiva BILE
thing: those from children who seem,
Judging from the tone of their letters.
TO make regular appeals, and those
from children who talk straight bust
ness" with Santa Claus and Will APP
preciate even the smallest remem-
brance.
in the work OF sorting and distributing
the letters among the twenty seven
scout troops. In the case of Well-to do
children who have written, Mrs. Rafter
plans to have some one connected with
the scout organization communicate
with the parents and ask them 10 an
swer the requests in the letters.
The Girl Scouts will need the aid of
the people of Washin gton. however, in
this work. and should any one be in
terested they may send contributions
to the headquarters. sol Woudwa I'd

ENGLISH GOVERNESS
IS A POWER IN ITALY
Supervises Education of Kings
Daughters and 0vercomes
All Opposition.
rrespondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
ROME. November 30.-The least
known and yet one of the most influ-
entail women in Italy at present is
Miss Margaret Brown, the English gov
erness of three of the girls of the royal
family.
Since the publication of the arrange
ment of a marriage between Edward
Albert, Prince of Wales, heir apparent
to the English throne. and Princess
folanda. eldest daughter of the King
and Queen of Italy. the position of this
humble governess as the domestic
power behind the throne is said to have
been greatly strengthened. Should the
marriage between young Edward and
the wealthiest royal heiress of Europe
take place. as is expected, Miss Brown
will receive due credit as the match
maker.
Mystery Is an Asset.
The mystery that has grown up
around the personality of Miss Brown
is one of the sources of her influence.
Also. it is of the kind that pleases the
king. who has horror of. the publicity
which his position forces upon him.
Those persons of the court life who dis
like Miss Brown because of her con-
f1dential position, because of her power
to hold her tongue and her custom of
standing beside the queens chair dur
ing receptions. have tried in vain to dis
cover exactly who she is. To date all
they have learned is that she is a
strong minded person of some forty
five years who appeared on the scene
at the birth of Yolanda, the first child.
and who has been in charge of the
children ever since. 1t appears that
the king and queen wanted their chill
dren brought up after the English
fashion and that Miss Brown was rec
| Commended by some member of the Eng
| fish royalty.
The influence of Miss Brown in mod
erniZing the education of Italian chill
dren of the noble families has been re-
markable, and far wider than that of
| the more popularity known system of
| DR.. Maria Montessori. Miss Brown has
| introduced into Italy the English Gus
| toms with respect to the education
| of girls. in particular. Her example
| with the royal children. who have been
| taught to lead an outdoor life, to swim
and ride and play vigorous games. has
| been followed by the noble and wealthy
| families. who formerly brought up
| girls in the strictest indoor nun-like
\ secluson.

The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1916-11-24

Montana was the leader Of the
anti-secessionist democrats, Stephen
A. Douglas, to whom it was suggested
bv General j. w. Denver, governor OF
Kansas territory, after whom the city
of Denver was christened. Douglas
was chairman Of the senate committee
on territories when the question OF
dividing up the great Rocky mountain
country into administrative areas was
first preached, but he died before the
bills had been introduced for the crea-
ton Of either Idaho or Montana.
In letter to Wilbur Edgerton San
ders, son Of Montana s first senator,
T. NJ. Clavenger, who had been private
secretary to Governor Denver, told OF
the meeting between the two men at
which the question Of an appropriate
territorial name was discussed.
Colorado Proposed First
BY General Denver.
In this letter, dater March IA, 1908,
Clavenger says:
Sometime during the fifties, Ste
pllCii "A. I1chSldo, WIN was III tiio 'N'i
ate, invited General Denver to call
at his house, the two being fast
friends. Denver responded to the in
vitation, and was ushered into Doug
las library. The senator said, Den
yer, am going to organize some new
territories, and want you to give me
a name for one of Them
"Denver at first suggested the
name Colorado but Douglas, pick
ing up map from his desk, remarked,
II have that name selected for one
down here pointing on the map, but
l want name for this territory up
here (pointing) in the mountains.
"The general studied for a moment
and replied, why not call it Mon
tana' Douglas said, what does the
