Queen of Italy Now Trims Her Own Hats
Because of Her Large Gifts to Charity

ways, as they are called at court, Jar
upon his sense Of orderlinesS and
proportion. A very domestic man
himself, who never has looked outside
his family circle for amusement or
affection, he cannot bear the license
of his brothers-in-law, one of whom
had the effrontery to make love to
Princess 1olanda's nurse. He was
promptly sent back to Montenegro.
But no sooner had he left than bills
began TO pour III. He seemed to have
set himself up in clothes and trinkets
for the rest of his life. But then,
even the late Car of Russia had con-
stantly to tighten his purse strings,
and the old Emperor Franz Joseph of
Austria complained bitterly about
"sponging.
Another cause of irritation between
the King and his wife's family was
their attempt to interfere in Italian
politics. This Victor Emma nuel would
not allow. On one occasion when
Prince Danilo, the Queens brother,
sent to Rome by his father for the
purpose, tried 10 persuade the King
TO adopt Montenegro's viewpoint with
regard to Greece, argument was so
warm that it extended TO the royal
dinner table, and consequently was
Kings equerry.
Il tell your royal highness that
Italy means to conduct her own for
eign policy" said the King. You will
find the carriage ready to take you
to the station in time for the 10
o'clock train tonight"
And go he did, though the Queen
wept and pleaded for her brother.
But, though interference in Italian
politics was thus nipped in the bud
expenses still will go on in connection
with the ex-royal family of Montene
gro. And all those brilliant matches
between the Queens sisters and arch
dukes have, naturally, turned out
badly from n financial viewpoint. Had
the King not acted with enerev, q

would today be either inside or very

ladies' and gentlemen in waiting re-

at Christmas there are no gifts for
the suite. This has been much criti
cized in the aristocratic circles whose
members have had charges at the
Court Of Savoy for many generations
At Princess Yolanda's wedding the
traditional little boxes with sugared
almonds inside were voted rather
poor" They were silver boxes with
the brides monogram on the lid. Old
courtiers remembered something very
different on such occasions.
But, whereas neither the King nor
the Queen give presents to the rich.
the Queen is always sending help to
the poor. 1t is a very old custom for
the Queens Of the House Of Savoy to
permit any subject to make applica-
tion for money not more than once
in two years. Such applications are

there is no such windfall in view for
the Hesses. The Italian government
does not, like the British, vote a civil

the heir to the throne has 1t, and the
