The little King of Spain completed his
tenth year on May II, and from that day
onward his minute majesty is to have a
separate establishment. His own Groom
OF the Chambers, Master of the Horse,
Black Stick, Gold Bold and so on, of
course, he has always had, but now every
personal attendant Is to be distinctly his
own, and though he viii still reside with
his mother and sisters, his household will
be ordered on lines apart from theirs.

the entrance of fermenting mass Of
