Turin that be was stopped for speeding once by a Turin polite

man, who was much embarrassed when he discovered whom he had held up. But the Prince told him he had done right, and ordered him to send the note for the fine round to the proper official at the palner, when it would be duly paid.

A Juvenile Romance. Princess Mari José of Belgium, who will be the next Queen of Italy through her marriage to Crown Prince Humbert, was by destiny chosen as the bride of the Italian heir to the throne. He was the first to enter her life as like a girl's fairy prince. He was the Prince Charming of her childish dreams now realized in fact,
