the exercises, made a br:ef address, Civ

archs of the nations where the march Of
progress is hurrying toward the realm OF

throne claimants generally will form an

the king and the peasant can rub should

ex-queen of Spain, lives in Paris. EX-
Queen Natalie of Servia for long time

once helped to rule.
Eugenie is by far the most interesting
of these exiles. She can go to Paris If
