The Picturesque Little Principally of Monaco
Which Contains the Famous Gambling
Resort, Monte Carlo, and Which the
"Love-C Child" Will Inherit.

y Nh Duchess de Valentinois, grand
w daughter of the Prince of Monaco
and heiress to that picturesque little prin-
cipality, married Just the other day the
Count Pierre de Polignac, another chapter
was written in what is, without doubt, the
most astonishing romance of Europe.
For although no account of the grand
wedding revealed it, and therefore Amer
lea could not know 1t, the lovely bride Of
this bearer of one of the oldest and most
honored names in France is "love child"
Daughter of Prince Albert Of Monaco's
now dead son,-and true granddaughter Of
him, as a comparison of the photographs
will show, she is. But her mother was
Mlle Louvet, girl of peasant stock
with whom the present rulers son became
infatuated while in Paris, and the bride
who now bears the proud old title OF
Duchess de Valentinois, was born out Of
wedlock.
If she lives she will be.the Princess Of
Monaco and the only occupant of throne
at least for centuries-upon whom is
what history calls the bar sinister.
No fairy tale of Cinderella, no legend Of
King Cophetua and the beggar maid, ap-
proaches the romance with which the
little known story of the young Duchess
de valentinois is filed. Only by a series
of extraordinary accidents was she lifted
to the place she now occupies. Had there
been any broken link in that chain she
might have been drawn back to the peas
ant drudgery of France; or she might have
become a reckless toast of Paris, queening
It for brief while and sinking back to
tragic obscurity when her beauty had
faded; or again, she might have become
the wife of some matter-of-fact bourgeois.
Instead she has highest place and un-
told wealth; she is entitled to the homage
due to royalty and has for husband one
of the finest cleanest and most aristocratic
young men In France!
Louis Crown Prince of Monaco, lived
the traditional life of young royalty with
plenty of money and all the time in the
world in which to enjoy himself. Partic-
ularly was he fond of Paris and its frivol-
tiles. 1t was here twenty years ago that
he met Mile. Louvet. OF this nesting
there are two stories. One is that he found
her while she was .still a peasant girl
struck by her beauty, her freshness, he
took her, installed her in semi-regal state,
slecked her with Jewels and strove TO turn
her into woman Of his own world The
other story is that Mile. Louvet was work
ing in Paris at the time in some humble
occupation but had ceased to be a peasant
girl. Whatever their meeting, Crown Prince
and peasant girl loved each other, and from
this love a girl baby was born.
The Crown Prince, however, failed to
swerve his sweetheart from the ways Of
her girlhood. She was violent In her tenn
per. at times quarrelsome, and In the beau
tiful home which Louis gave her she
brought her own family and friends, who
were the reverse OF those with whom
royalty Is used to mingling. Rapidly the
rift between the two grew.
The Crown Prince had no other child.
The little girl baby even then must have

and France will allow
him to change both ma
tionality and name.
The former Count de
Polignac. now Duke of
Valentinois, must for
mally become a Grim
aldi Of Monaco to be in
a position to take his
place beside his wife
to rule the destinies Of
his adopted people.
During the war sew
eral times the menace
OF Monaco, as certain
statesmen loved to call
II, figured in the news
because Of the large
numbers OF Germans
living there. The state
ments were, as usual.
grossly exaggerated.
But the possibility OF a
recurrence OF such a
thing Is obviated by
the marriage being dis.
cussed. A Frenchman
always remains a
Frenchman no matter
where he Is, and the
influence over the little
principality will be
strongly French. How
ever, IL there had been
the slightest evidence
or appearance of the
marriage having been
one Of international
convenience no one
who has ever seen the
Duchess, or even looked
at her picture, will
think Of the Count de
Polignac as a martyr to
the political necessities
OF France.

Says the French
 Learned Value Of
 Athletics From U. s

Paris, Jan. 10-One of the biggest lessons learned by France from the American "doughboy," according to Gaston Vidal, president of the Union of Sporting Federations. who was re gently elected to the French Cham Der of Deputies, is the value of out door athletics. He predicts France will have at least 1000 open-ar ath- letic stadiums in various cities and towns within the next five years.
 "It was due to football. baseball and similar sports," he said, "that the United States was able to raise. eouip and train an army of 2.500,000 men in few months. Athletics is the best sort of military preparation"
 MT. Vidal told a representative of The Associated Press that one of the first bills he will attempt to have passed by the Chamber will be to make the appropriation of 100000 francs given this wear for athletics an annual affair. He said that he also would interpellate the government on the manner in which the 10,OOO,00O francs Of 1919 were expended.
 Referring to the coming Olympic games, the new chamber of Parlia- ment said that France would send 200 trained athletes to Antwerp, as well as two complete soccer and rugby football teams, water-polo teams and tennis.
 If the funds allotted by the govern ment are insufficient, MT. Vidal said that he, together with Mir. Rameil and MT. Pate, legislative colleagues who are also much interested in ath- letics, will raise a public subscrip- tion which will be called "The French Olympic Million," in order to finance the French athletes.

 wko did not check up A. ". o. L.. How the Rotary club can promote the Boy Scout movement locally and
 aid the scouts was discussed. The International Association or Rotary clubs has endorsed the Boy Scout
 movement, and has committee
 which seeks to stimulate interest
 among the clubs in this work. Maj.
 W. J. Parkes explained briefly Boy
 Scout work. and the benefit to the
 boy. He said there are two white
 troops and one colored troop in
 Pine Bluff, under the direction of
 Scout Commander J. R. Sanders, Jr.,
 who, he said, should have the sup
 port and aid of Rotarians and all
 interested in boys. J. E. Boyce,
 Fred Vining. D. G. Maxey, Dr. Wm.
 Breathwis, Mitchell Selligman, H. K. Toney and Judge James Gould spoke
 in endorsement of the Scouts, sev-
 eral members offering to provide
 uniforms when Kemp Toney sug- gested the club should see that all scouts are equipped. Major Parkes, Judge Gould, Dr. Breathwit, MT. Toney and Nr. Andrews were ap- pointed a committee to confer with Scout Commissioner Sanders and Boys Work Secretary Barrow of the Y. M. c. A. relative to needs of the scouts and boys who might be enrolled as scouts, and how Ro- tary can aid. The committee is to report at the next meeting of the club.
 Plans for organizing Rotary club at Stuttgart were discussed by Frank Franey, appointed as organiz- ing officer. Pine Bluff Rotarians pave assurance of aid in instituting the Stuttgart club, if the proper men there indicate a desire to affili- ate with Rotary.
 Among the guests at the meeting were Judge E. P. Toney and Jim Goodwin of Chicot county; Charles Bird, Rotarian. of Springfield. Mo; G. o. Mcfarland and H. F. McRell of St. Louis, and Henry s. Reynolds if Pine Bluff.
 E. B. Bloom, manager of the Chamber of Commerce, assigned by Acting President Franev the topic, How l Did It." disclaimed credit, and said it was due to good cam paign manager-Leo M. Andrews. In a serious vein, Mir. Bloom said the leaders of the chamber realized something was needed to stimulate the younger members of the organ ization, and to concentrate attention on the Chamber of Commerce. "so the plan was conceived of precipitating like a contest, confidence being felt that the old heads would win out; the young men would ac- cept the result gracefully, fall in line, and harmony and cooperation prevail" MT. Bloom said that if the same energy and activity is now dis played in behalf of Pine Bluff as was exerted in the recent campaign "Pine Bluff will get anything it goes aft er."
