Royal Wedding Reviewed In Letter
Written Home By Frances Sparrow
Tht- romance uml bounty a sub
debutante of Amoririi may ft ltd in
the c-UHtoins and life of European
royalty are expressed in an inter
esting manner in a letter recent )y
received by Mrs. A'ex Hparrow
from her daughter. Miss l'ninces,
who is devoting r. year to study
anil travel abroad. Miss Frances
viewed a few of the wedding activ
ities of Princess Giovanni and
King lioris and draws a bively
pieture of the affair in her letter
home.
The certain "Mr. Jones" nf
whom she speaks is none other
than Mussolini, himself, who pre
fers or demands to be called "Mr.
Jones" by the Kiiwlish and Ameri
cans, who might connect his name
with slighting remarks or criti
cism. Members of the local ranch col
ony are interested in learning
that Miis Frances was a guest of
Mrs. Itubert Washburn at a lunch
eon during her stay in Florence.
M i's. Washburn, wife of the late
Col. Washburn, formerly made her
home in the Table Hock district
on the ranch now. owned by Cant.
.Shelby Tuttle.
Kxcerpts from the letter follow:
, Naples, Italy
October 1 ! 30
"V left Florence Thursday
morning and arrived in I'erugia in
the afternoon. We dashed thro";h
some museums and churches until
dinnertime, our hotel was up high
so we could look out over the
country and see high mountains
oh the other side. It was the love
liest view I have ever seen. Across
on a mountain we could see the
little old fortress town of Assissi.
Little do you poor things guess
what your daughter has been do
ing uf late. Friday morning we
got Up at 10:3o and stationed our
selves in the lobby, Tho hotel
wasn't a bit full, only about
-people around us. Some newspaper
reporters, one or two Knglish and
t lie rest Italians. The hotel man
agers rushed wildly about. The bell
boys carried great baskets of flow
ers in and two boxes of candy as
large as big Mngnin boxes. A red
Turkish carpet was put down from
the lobby to the edge of the pave
ment and millions of people were
gathered in front of the hotel,
leaving room only for cars to drive
up. Gendarmes in black trousers
witli a red stripe down the trouser
legs and great black three-cornered
hats kept the crowd back
with swords. Millions of people
watching, waiting before the hotel
which was all hung with banners,
'ilow the crowds envied us for we
were free to go fn and out of tho
front door and stand in the open
xiiuare in front. It was such fun to
go out the door and have millions
looking at you. At 1 1 o'clock n
great black enr with ,a crown on
the door drove up amid the shrieks
and cheers of the crowd and wo
Inside stood up as the crown prince
of Italy and his wife, tlie princes
of Belgium, Muietly and uua&ium
tnply entered the lobby followed
by a gentleman ami gentlewoman
in wailing. They walked right into
the midst of the few of us, bow
ing to each one, and went to their
rooms. The prince even looked at
me and bowed. My heart just
stayed in my mouth. Imagine be
ing one of who could almost
touch them when millions were
outside dying to pet a glimpse
from the distance. 1 was just weak
kneed afterwards. Then some of us
went outside under their balcony
and others of us stood on a smaller
one while they came out and
bowed and smiled to the people.
Talk about hobnobbing with roy
alty! That afternoon arrived the
duke and duchess of I'arma. and
of Genoa, of Savoy, etc.. until the
hotel had housed 21 of t he no
bility, and a few poor mortals in
cluding us. Kvery now and then
there would be a sudden murmur
and we all would stand up, leaving
room in tho middle and the royal
pair, with a h.mdsome uniformed
man making way for them, would
walk right by us. I could have
touched them several times. Loads
of them ate in the (lining room ad
joining ours aid went to the opera
that night. Must of the women had
bobbed hair and all of them
looked just like anyhody i-lse. The
princess has a wonderful sun tan
way down her back. A sun tan
backed bathing suit! The prince is
very good looking. It was such fun
to wander about the lobby bump
ing into nobility. I wore my black
velvet. .
Leave for .s.si
The next morning we arose at 5
o'clock and all of I'erugia took its
way across the valley in the early
mist to deai- little Assist. We ar
rived at 7:30 and stood in a mob
until 11 o'clock. We didn't .have
any tickets so we all separated,
each for himself and in the end
had as pood a .standing place as
anybody in the ticket- place.
1 llirted with guards, craw led
on my ha mis and knees, looked
wistful and muttered the magic
word "Americaine" until 1 got
through. At one time the guard
pushed some of us back out of the
ticket place, then a good looking
young one raised his arm and
beckoned to me to sneak through
when the officers weren't looking
ami did 1 do it!
After standing for five or more
hours in a sipiare about the front
of the little old church, held in
place by bright and beautifully
cost timed Italian and Bulgarian
troops, the wedding party arrived.
The prince and princess of Italy,
the king and queen of Italy. King
Boris of Bulgaria and his father,
the ex-queen of greece, her daugh
ter, the other princesses of Italy
and Mr. Jones (safety's sake) of a
certain important gentleman of
Italy.
Also one or two hundred chil
dren --in white satin ditntses and-
maids of honor and many, many
others. Just as they arrived, it be
gan to rain and as the last one en
tered the church the largest hail
stones 1 have ever seen came down.
Itaiu Fulls on Party
At first 1 found myself under a
raincoat with a woman, a civilian
ami two young Bulgarian soldiers,
next huddled under an umbrella
with five Italian yombs, nil very
informal. After that we got into
our car which was in the town
square opposite a balcony hung
with red velvet and at 1 o'clock
the new queen of Bulgaria and
King Boris came out on it and
waved to the crowds.
She is Very, very sweet. 1 ju.st
love her. King Boris is very home
ly like his pictures. She was so
pale and sweet looking In a white
velvet dress and she smiled and
waved to everybody. 1 almost
cried. Think of leaving your own
country to become queen of a
.strange people, with u man you
probably do Jiot love!
The reason the princess was
married at such a small town as
Asslsl was that she had made a
vow that hhe would be married In
the town of St. Frances.
Bump Into Queen
1 forgot to mention that the day
before we stopped for a few min
utes at a hotel that the ex-queen
of Greece, Sophie, sister of the
kaiser, was staving at. It wan a
small country hotel and very In
formal. The queen was standing
in an open doorway in the hall so
B. and IX bumped into her by
mistake! 7). Of course they had to
excuse themselves and got a nod
of acknowledgement. D. almost
knocked the poor woman over. I
could hare pushed up against her
too but I didn't dare. But then she
wasn't anything new for she ate
at a table next to ours in Florence.
To return to Assist, the dear old
Fox Movietone and Paramount
were there so when you look at
"the eyes of tho world'' ut the
wedding think of your daughter
and know that she saw it all. The
town opened its gates at 1:30 and
we flashed back to Perugia."
