About 4 O'Clock in the afternoon tho
presentation of the foreign Representatives
to King Alfonso began at the royal palace
with stately ceAmonies The King wore
the uniform of a Captain-G General. He did
the honors Of the palace. Princess Ena
took no part in the reception, but shared
with her mother and brothers a favored
place whence she was able to acquire ia
miliarity with the ceremonies Of the Spanish
court at a great reception.
She was dressed in a very simple white
costume and at her own request had charge
Of the four-year-old Prince Alfonso. son
Of the late Infanta Mercedes and Prince
Charles of Bourbon. who il heir presumptive
to the Spanish throne.
Princess Ena has been photographed in
n white Spanish mantilla, and the picture,
transferred to postcards, il selling rapidly.
The popularity OF this photograph is partly
due to the mantilla, Spaniards declaring
that the Princess is Spanish already.
In the evening a theatrical performa nee
was given in honor Of the royal guests in
the quaint little theatre in the Pardo Pal
ace, which had not been used previously
for a century. 1t seats only 200 per sons.
Meanwhile untiring throngs crowded the
hot, dusty streets and filed the cafes and
restaurants, slipping coffee and chattering
about the events of the day.
The decorations are almost completed
and are more than gorgeous. The streets
are spanned by festoons of artificial flowers.
in which are concealed electric lights of
various colors. Millions of these flower
lamps are employed, and the effec tat night
il beautiful beyond desc ription.
