Little King Peter of Yugoslavia

boy, Ike any little American boy Of

sensitive flower.
Peter is a very charming child
and always has been a great favor

ways was a gentle. shy child. There
is something touching IN his big
brown, lo~ng-lashed. velvety eyes,
which have a half-timid, half
pleading look in them. as though
wondering what the world really Is

He is a rather diffident child, not

"A Real Little Prince

AS though being afraid Of being
hurt himself, Peter Is careful in
his approach TO others, and has oc-
casionally a shy little laugh 50 as
to cover his instructive timidity.
But he Is innately a little gentle
man. He was from earliest infancy
"a real little prince" as the saying
goes. but without haughtiness or
arrogance.
He likes to inquire INTO things,
but also in all his questions there
is that strange little hesitancy as
though sensing that, if he heard
too much. II would wound his feel
ings. He bushes easily. and rebuke
does not make him resentfuL but
sad.
He Is absolutely straight and
truthful, and has both moral and
physical courage, which Is All the
more admirable. as he Is naturally
a rather shrinking child.
The little kings habits are simple,
and his tastes are those of any
other normal little boy, except per-
haps that he is more polite and
he has more respect for other peo-
pies feelings. 'NobleSSe oblige."
