Will an American girl eventually sit on the throne of Italy? asks the ‘Daily Chronicle.’ This is a question, it says, which in one form or another seems to have suggested itself to many people in America as the result of the visit of the Count of Turin to Newport, where he has been the bright particular star of the season. It is commonly stated, and the statement has found its way into print, that the Prince has been considerably ‘taken’ with the granddaughter of General Grant, the niece of Mrs Potter Palmer, with whom he was staying. At all the social functions to which the Prince was invited it was a sine qua non that Miss Grant should also be invited, for it was noticeable that unless she was present the Prince found little or no pleasure in the entertainment. which was devised in his honour.
