(Special Air Mail Letter)

London April 21. Mariangela, who has

Just died at the age of 98, was the absolute monarch of the smallest kingdom in Europe-perhaps in the world. This was Tavolara, a rocky islet of a few hundred acres of the east coast of Sardinia.

She inherited her kingdom from King Paulo, her tather, who owed his sovereignty to Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, an ancestor of the present King of Italy.

One morning in the early 19th century Charles Albert landed on the islet for a day's shooting and found Faulo minding his flock, of goats.

"How many "Inhabitants there?" he asked.

are

"I and my family." was the

answer.

The King laughed "Then 1 will make you king of the island," he said, and proceeded to do so.

He sent for a Royal ensign from his boat. had it hoisted over Paulo's modest dwelling, and pre- sented him with a gold watch and a magnificent coat of arms. The escutcheon still hangs over the front door.

Faulo's sons died before him, and Queen Mariangels never married. Her nephews will not inherit her kingdom, which is to pass to Italy,

AN ANCIENT FAMILY

Miss Patricia Wake, the 14-year- old daughter of Major-General Sir Hereward Wake, has. I see, been extensively photographed in the act of falling at the water jump at the Graftori Hunt hunter triais.

The greatest consumers of water are probably the people of the United States, Buffalo coming first on the list with 228 gallons per head.

It is not generally realised that many baths take 50 gallons of water to fill them, and almost any bath requires 36 gallons.

THE CALL OF THE WILD

If Jaggs, the Prince of Wales' Cairn, found the call of Windsor Forest too strong to be resisted, one can hardly blame him.

Rabbits are kept down in the park as far as possible. In King) Edward's reign a rigorous offensive was undertaken against them, the King having a silver rabbit cast so that there should be "at least one rabbit in the "park" Strice then, I suspect, they have return ped. In any case, Jaggs has always

the lure of feathered game.

The Prince in his partiality for tertlers takes after his grand father. The fox-terrier Caesar was a famillar member of the Edwardian Court, and was in the King's funeral cortège: King® George, despite a partiality for sporting dogs, has possessed for the last few years. an Ardeen given him by the Dute of clonces-

Bir John will be officiating at each of the forthcoming Courts and also at the Buckingham Palace garden party in July, but these will probably be his last official functions.

Sir John is one of the best-known. Agures at Court, and a valued friend of the King. Sir John has been decorated for his services by Governments all over the world. During the Russian revolution he was the secret adviser and friend of the Char. In 1928 his son John, married Princess Zenaida Cantacu- žene, daughter of Prince Cantacu- zene, A.D.C. to the Grand Duke Nicholas during the war.

Sir John, who is remarkably, ac- tive for his age, is a very keen hunter and is fond of shooting.

Colonel Harold Alexander, who sailed to-day for India to com- mand a brigade of one British, and three Indian battalionis at Nowshers, in the North-west Pro- vince, was known during the war as Brusiloff, on account of an al- leged resemblance, to that ground.

The Scots do use more water. Statistics bear out Mr. J. H. Mc- Kle's statement in the House of Commons...

The Ave towns having the highest consumption in Great Britain are all Scottish. Helens- burgh is the most prodigal con- sumer of water. Its inhabitants use over 10 gallons per head per day.

On the other hand, Aberdeen splendidly maintains its reputa- tion for thrift, with Ecotland's lowest water consumption of only 28.24 gallons.
