Serbian king to arrange a marriage for his daughter

February 18, 1911

King Peter of Serbia is currently in Italy, and it is "whispered that he has been approached in connection with a marriage for his daughter. Princess Helene is 27 years old, good looking, of a distinctly Slav type, but is said to be entertaining no ambition for a royal alliance."
The Princess has been living with the king and queen of Italy for some time -- Queen Elena is Helene's aunt -- and they are "said to view favorably a possible marriage with a Roman gentleman."
