The house of Grimaldi, the ruling fam
lily Of Monaco, is one Of the most ancient
and most important of the old Genoese
Republic. The quarrels between the
Papal and popular Guelphs and the I'M
perial and aristocratic Ghibelines, in Italy,
forced certain members of the Grimaldi
family to expatriate themselves. Some OF
these conquered Monaco near the end OF
the thirteenth century. They maintained
their possession with difficulty, but sue
ceeded in enlarging their domain by the
acquisition Of Mentone and Roquebrune.
1t was not before 141s that the possession
of the principality was made certain, in
spite of the Genoese opposition.
Louis XII, by declaration on February
20, 1912, recognized the sovereignty and
absolute Independence of Monaco Pass
ing from the protectorate of Spain, then
mistress of Milan, Richelieu and the Prince
Honore II. established a French protecto.
rate. The great attachment of the Mona
gasQue princes to the crown caused Louis
XIII. to show his royal favor by giving
the Duchy of Valentinois with its peerage
and the Marquisat de Baux, the Count of
Cardalez, to the principality; Louis XIV.
also gave the rank and title of foreign
princes to the Monagasque rulers and
made Prince Louis his ambassador at the
Vatican.
The Salic laws did not exist in France
except in the Capetian House. In the
case of the Duchy and Peerage of Valen-
tinois, the title which carried the domains
and properties could descend to a daugh-
ter, who passed 1t on to her eldest son,
but the peerage ceased with no direct male
heir. Thus twice has the peerage of
the Duchy Of Valentinois reverted to the
crown, when It could only he revived by
a new investiture. The first time Louis
XII. gave II to Caesar Borgia; the second
revival was when Francois |. gave it to
Diane de Poictiers.
The Count Of Thorigny, who became
Prince Consort with Louise Hippolyte, lost
his spouse shortly after this event aud
ruled alone for a while, when he abdicated
in favor OF his son. Honore ILL.,, took back
the title OF the Duke Of Valentinois and
came to Paris, taking the house Of the
Duchess de Galliera, since become the old
Embassy.
Honore Ill, finished his days In sadness
and despair, for his little principality and
his people were taken from him by an up
rising and the French Revolution. He had
married a Choisel- -Stainville. who came to

ter the lately welded two take power is
uncertain. Probably the matter will be
settled before then: The gambling syndi-
cate pays all the expenses Of the little
principality and an enormous bonus to the
reigning house besides. It is known, though,
that the present Princess does not approve
OF the venture and 1t has long been said
that when the present lease runs out IL
will not be renewed.
How many millions this astonishing
royal Cinderella will inherit is unknown;
many hundreds, certainly, beside the i'm
mense estates and other wealth Of the old
Prince.
It Is a curious coincidence that the
father Of the Duchess was snatched away
from his own mother much as she was
from hers. The Crown Prince Is an only
son born of his fathers first marriage to
Lady Mary Hamilton, sister OF the late
Duke of Hamilton. She is now the wife
Of Prince Tassilo Festetics, head Of the
Hungarian house of Festetics. When she
finally abandoned the Prince of Monaco
she fed from his palace to Florence, TAX
ing with her the little boy, then about two
years old. Albert, then only Crown Prince,
caused his father Charles III, to make a
demand upon the Italian Government for
the surrender OF the child to his represen-
tatives as having been .unlswfully abb
Quoted from his dominions.
The Italian Government thought It well
to do this and sent officers to the hotel
where the Princess was stopping, under
instructions to take the child by force II
she refused to give II up. She did refuse
and they did try. But the royal mother
made such a noise that Grand Duchess
Marie of Russia was attracted to the scene.
She threatened the Italians with the wrath
OF Russia II they did not give up. Not
wishing to be embroiled just then with
Russia the Italian Government politely
withdrew. II was not for some years after
that the present Prince gained the custody
OF his son, and then by amlcable arrange
ment.

legitimatiZed by her grandfather, and with
all pomp and ceremony was given the title
OF the Duchess de Valentinois, which is
the name of the Prince Of Monaco's French
dukedom, Of which he1s very proud and Of
which the lovely Diane de Poictiers, that
unhappy lady whose tragedy is one Of the
great loves Of history, was once Duchess.
or course all the other royalties and
most of the nobility OF Europe knew the
origin OF the little Princess. But her own
sweetness and beauty and fneness would
have stopped unkind remarks or actions,
even IL her grandfather's wealth and
power and the knowledge OF certain other
similar pages in most of their own family
histories had not. During the war the
daughter OF prince and peasant worked
with utmost devotion both In the Red
Cross Society OF France and as an actual,
bona fide nurse at the military hospital OF
Beausoleil at Nice.
II was there that she met the Count de
Polignac. She was only sixteen then, but
the young man saw in her his ideal Of
womanhood. The war claimed his life,
however and there was a promise that
made him content to wait. But when the
war was ended there was no longer use
Of waiting. she redeemed her promise.
When the Duchess takes the throne OF
Monaco her husband will have twice have
had to change his name, by the way, and
will long since have ceased to be a

from the bargain, she disappeared. The

toms OF a princess of the ancient line OF
Grimaldi
Yet during all these years she was not
iegitimatized-as under the European law
love child" may be. That she had been
told who her mother was is not at all GER
tain. She knew the old Prince as grand
father and the Crown Prince as father.
Then as time went on It became sure that
the Crown Prince would have no children
by his own wife.
And, with the exception OF the girl, so
rapidly becoming a gracious and lovely
woman, there was none in the world to
carry on the line OF Grimaldi; none to
whom the principality Of Monaco could de-
scend
II was with delight that the old Prince
saw neither in his granddaughter actions
nor thoughts and not even In her face any
trace OF her peasant mother. In every way
she was a Grimaldi Her face might have
been one OF the long line OF daughters OF
that house. She looked indeed enough like
her grandfather to be his own daughter.
And so, just before the war. she was
