The beautiful American Princess
Rospigllosi amazed the "republican
aristocracy" by wearing a priceless
pearl necklace, which was once the
property of an English queen and a
French king The princess was for-
merly Miss Marie Reld of Washington,
and later Mrs. Frederick Hnie Park-
hurst before she married the head of
the great Roman house of Rospigllosi.
The necklace originally belonged to
Queen Henrietta of England. Louis
XIV. bought it as a love token for
Mile. Manclni. It passed into the
Colonna family and thence to the
lioust of Rospigllosi. The famous
heirloom was a wedding present to
the American prlncesB.
