PARIS, May 12.-Queen Isabella's palace
and her household effects are to be sold
the latter at auction. and her youngest
daughter. who lived in a pavilion in the
grounds, has returned TO Madrid to reside
permanently. She already had an elegantly
furnished house in the Gale de Quinsonas,
nearly next door TO that of her eldest sis
ter, the Infanta Isabella, ex-princess OF the
Austrias and Countess of Girgenti.
The infanta came to Paris at the age Of
four, in 1865. and with her sisters Pillar and
Paz now Princess Louis Ferdinand of Ba-
varia, passed eight years at the boarding
school Of the Sacre Occur in the Faubourg
St German. The Princess Davidoff, whose
name in religion l forget though / remem-
Der her personality well, was superior at
the time Queen Isabella placed her daugh-
tiers under her wing. The arrangement en-
abled the exiled monarch to enjoy all the
liberty that her ancestor, Louis XIV, took
in his domestic relations. They quilted the
convent to acquire a more Spanish educa-
ton at Madrid under the eye of their eldest
sister, who had been from the day of her
brothers restoration to the throne regent.
and, as SUCH head of the family.
Eulalie married the eldest son of the Due
and Duchesse De Montpensier, the latter
sister of Queen Isabella. She found him a
rough husband, with low tastes and too
much inclined to choose his company in
bars and round the betting rings of race
courses. So long as there seemed a pros
pect of the late Due De Montpenser leav-
ing him the best part of his fortune, the
infanta put up with his manners and hab-

otherwise disposed of. she separated from
him. He had the grace TO let her keep with
her the two sons, one OF whom has strong
taste for natural history and the other for
pictorial art. They are both at Biarritz for
an air cure. She intends TO take them next
October to Heidelberg and leave them a
year there under German professors. After
that she will place them at the Jesuit Col
lege at Beaumont, near Windsor. Don
Jaime, only son of Carlos, is Beaumont
old boy.
The Infanta Eulalie received much kind
ness from her father in-law, the late Due
De Montpensier. and from his brothers the
Dues d Aumale and Nemours and the
est daughter Mercedes, was the first wife
of the late King of Spain. and the Com
tesse De Paris was his eldest daughter.
DIVORCE SUIT REFUSED.
Eulalie implored the late Pope to give her
leave TO sue for divorce. He refused, on
the grounds that she fully consented. after
reaching the years of discretion. to marry
Prince Antonio, and that suit against
him must be q cause of scandal and bring
royalty into further discredit. II she has
not already followed her mothers example,
L dare say she will follow it in consolng
herself for her matrimonial bad luck.
The princess. or infanta, represented the
Spanish royal family at the worlds fair at
Chicago, in $685. and she received at Wash
ington distinguished hospitality at the
White House and from ministers and dip
lomats' wives. l remember hearing her at a
