In the Quirinal at Rome, the official
town residence Of the Italian royal
family, there was a family celebration
in honor of the fifteenth birthday of
the Prince of Piedmont, the only son
of King Victor Emmanuel, and the fu-
ture king of Italy. Brought up in a
tolerant manner by his father, the
young prince is said to be all boy,
through and through.
For a youth of his age he has had
some remarkable adventures. He is
the head of the Giovanni E~sploratori, or
Young Explorers of Italy, a body that
corresponds to the boy scouts in Eng

a lot that any boy would like to do.
He has gone up in airplanes, down
In submarines, steered ships Of war,
sailed boats, shot at wild bears and
