Show Queen of Spain. M. bavier Paoli, who has written much of the crowned heads of Europe, and who possesses souvenirs from them, contributes to the "Gaulois" supplement some interesting notes on the King and Queen of Spam. M. Paoli is known in Frame as "le gardien des Rois," an honorary distinction conferred on him by the King of Greece. According to M. Paoli, it is the charm of the Queen of Spain which contributes much to the popularity of the monarchy today. Not a day passes, when she is in Madrid, that her majesty is not seen mingling with the people, attended by a maid of honor. She enters the shops and makes her own pure-bases. M. Paoli considers the euieen's most charming act was her purchase of toys for the e liildren of two soldiers who had just returned from Melilla. and whom she saw gazing wistfully at the playthings for children, the e'ost of which, a moment before the queen set eyes upon the men, made the acquisition by them an impossibility. |
