Show TO PENETRATE CONGO JUNGLES I t t- - ' i ; No American woman, however strenuous, rivals the duchess of Aosta when it comes to delight in varied and dangerous undertakings. Just as present pres-ent she Is preparing to quit civilization civiliza-tion for six or seven months, which she will spend in African jungles hunting big game. Her only companion compan-ion will be a native boy whom she brought back to her home in Naples three years ago from Africa. She will penetrate into the wilderness with this dusky youth as her guide. Only such baggage will be taken along as the boy can carry on his back. The costume of the intrepid and novelty-loving duchess will consist of leather leath-er breeches and a rough shooting coat, with which she will wear heavy top boots of strong leather, made especially especial-ly for tramping in the forests. She has not explained, even to her family, all the details of her undertaking, as she declares that she herself does not 1 know them, sne runy mienas, now- ever, to penetrate far into the equatorial district and to fraternize with the natives. |
