As the popularity of nonLeague States mounted and strong epithets against the British flew, Rome's haberdashery shop The Prince of Wales was forced to change its name to The Prince of Piedmont; the Hôtel d'Angleterre draped a Fascist banner over its name; gregarious Miss Babington removed from her window the provocative sign "English Teas"; and police averted the destruction by an enraged mob of the Eden Hotel-although aristocratic young Captain Eden is emphatically "not in trade...
