September 15, 1923


Princesses Mafalda and Giovanna are "still ill with a high fever today," according to the New York Times. Their doctors report that the princesses are not in danger, and are expected to recover from the typhoid fever.
It is being suggested that because of their illness, the engagement between their brother, Crown Prince Umberto, and Princess Marie Jose of Belgium, has been postponed.
