Ethel's loneliness.
He wrote her a letter, telling her he

had neither mother nor sisters, not even
a stray aunt. as. if he had. he would
press them into play propriety. and carry
her off a prisoner TO speed the week at

care to arrive before her, and gener-

WHO'D BE A QUEEN7
Tortures Imposed Upon the First
Woman of Spain.

Woman of Spain.
Louise of Orleans, as the probable
wife of King Alfonso, seems destined
to endure the trials of Spanish
Queen. Perhaps there are American
girls in Europe, who, now that the
King of Spain is scanning the CONT
nent to discover which of many pros
pective brides he will choose, are wish
ing that there were within their veins
touch of that royal blood needed to
make possible a union with the Span
ish sovereign. They may think that
the honOrs Of a Queen, even of poor,
despised old Spain, are not to be con-
sidered lightly, yet it is doubtful if
there is an American girl who could
endure without yociferous protest the
tortureS Of mind which are the lot of
the first woman of Spain. Her life
must be lived so strictly in accordance
with rule that there is little of person
al freedom left.
Just now the court and aristocracy
are getting ready for the Queen to be.
