he chief source of English mscon-

the New York Tribune The duke of
Orleans, when not in Brussels, lives in
England. He is not reclusc. but is
constantly seen in social life and never
has impressed anyone rs having the
resources of character requisite for re-
gaining the crown. He is Il bright
eyed, rosy-faced, callow youth amiable
and harmless. Everyone who has met
him smiles at the idea of his ever maxi
ing serious attempt to overthrow the
republic; his functions are exhausted
in putting his signature to manifcStucs
at Il safe distance. A wcl!-informetl So
cinl leader in London sums up the mat
ter thus:
The women in the Orleans family
