ITALIAN ROYAL FAMILY IN-
FLUENCED BY BRITISH:
ER least -known and yet one
of the most influential
women in Italy at present
is Miss Margaret Brown,
the English governess of three of the
girls of the royal family. Since the
&scum:don of the arrangement of a.
marriage between Edward Albert
Prince of Weiss, heimaPparent to the
English throne, and Princees Yolan-
da, easiest daoghter of the Xing' and
Queen of Italy, the position of this
governess as the domestie povver be-
hind tbe throne is said tb have been
greatly , strengthened. Should the
marriage betiveen youog Edward and
the Wealthiest royal heiress of Eu-
rope take place, as is .expected, Miss
Brown Will receive due credit as the
matchmaker. She has also exerted
a great influenee over the Crown

and sensitive boy.

around the persouality of Miss
Brown is one of. the sources of her
influence. Ale° it is'of the kind that

Like the girls of the family,

the throne, is very fond of Miss
Brown, whose influence ham been ex-
tended to his education in some
measure. She exerted her in8t1ence
in securing the introduction of the
Boy Scout movement into Italy, the
Prince being its commander-in-chief
and the King contributing a million
dollars a year to its support.
During the war, though with her
-usual unobtrusiveness, Miss Brown
has taught the girls tie English me-
thods of helping in charities. While
the Italians are charitable as a peo-
ple, their charities have not before
been organized on the large scale
made necessary by the war.
With the marriage of Yolanda, the
work of the English governess will
