Princess Yolanda of Italy Prefers Quiet Home Life Over Royal Duties
In a portrait of Yolanda of Italy, the princess is described as devoted to her family and longing for a simple middle-class life. She hand-makes clothes, cooks, and toys with domestic duties, contrasting royal expectations with a “bourgeois” home setting. During the war she worked in hospitals and befriended former ambassador Thomas Nelson Page, reflecting a curious blend of royal charm and American-flavored simplicity.

Blazing the Way to Oust The Double Standard
Washington article reports Mrs. Burnilo and Shelton Matthews of the National Woman's Party urging a single legal standard for men and women. They claim marriage alters a woman's status, government work undervalues women, and mothers lack guardianship rights in many states. The piece also satirically notes public perception of gender bias and quotes Sir Gurnee Du Maurier on a caveman joke.
