ROYAL personages, like ordinary folk stand IN
need OF an annual outing. fact that goes far 70

between the Ano!nted Of the Lord and those
who. in Court circles at any rate. are believed TO

seem 10 be the two months IN the year preferred
for the holiday, and just at the present moment
with two exceptions all the rulers of the Old
World are. like President Cleveland engaged in
showing. by means OF absence from the seat Of
government. how we'll their respective nations
can rub along without them and how entirely
superfuous they are to the welfare and every
day existence Of their countrymen The two ex-
ceptions are the Sultan of Turkey. who has never
left Constantinople since he assembled 10 the
throne under such trag.cal circumstances some
twenty years ago. and Pope Leo Kill who has
remained immured within the precincts OF the
Vatican Rome since the tiara was placed on
his head in 1878. II the pontf does not leave his
self-imposed prison 1t IL because he feels that
any other course would be construed by the
world at large as an acquiescence on the part Of
the Papacy in a state OF affairs against which
he cannot but protest.
With regard to the other soveregns, some of

Of their own domnons. and some again In for

and where the only drawback to his perfect en-
toyment is the persistency with which visitors
and residents play. whistle or even hum the
Greek national anthem whenever he comes
within earshot If the truth to be told
there is tune which King George abhors to
such degree this one which he regards In
the light Of an affl!ction, fact hardly astonsh-
ing when IT is borne in mind that the poor man

King Alexander Of Servia is at Barritz with
MS still so beautiful mother who has a perma-
nent home there. He leaves matters at Belgrade
IN such a state Of political and financial confu-
sion that they could not possibly be rendered any
worse by his absence fact which may be con-
s.dered as the only excuse which he can offer for
deserving his unfortunate people al such time
King Charles of Rumana and his wife
touring together abroad. have visited the EN-
peror and Empress Of Austria at their pictur-
esque summer home in the Tyrol. and are now
STAYING together at Ldccrne, previous to calling
on their relatives in Germany. Queen Eliza

now entirely recovered from the mental and
physical ailments which compelled her husband
TO have her placed under restraint four years ago
and which caused her case to be pronounced as
homeless and her days as numbered. While at

press an Elizabeth like herself. who has also
recovered health and spirits. ostensibly strained
four years ago by the shocking death Of her only
son.
THE KING OF SPAIN MAKING FRIENDS.
These are the only soveregns holiday making

their own borders. Thus the Queen Regent Of
Spain and her boy. little King Alphonso XIII,
are established at Miramar the beautiful seaside
residence that Christina has recently completed
near San Sebastian. and while the boy monarch
spends the major part of his day making sand
pies on the beach and cantering his pony about
along the shore, his mother, the Regent passes
a good deal of her time In the water. being a
superb swimmer and often vent"ring great dis

them and have made a point of taking long
lagos and townets, leaving kind word here a
generous contribution there. matters have
changed indeed, and the sturdy Basques are
gradually coming over TO the opinion that the
rule of so sagacious and kindly Regent as
Queen Christina is. after all, more advantageous
10 their interests than that OF Don Carlos or OF
the republic each Of which has in turn deluged
their province In blood.
