The fetes for the kings wedding
have been prepared on an unusual
scale Of lavishness. They are divided
in three parts, the first including the
family fetes, celebrated 1t the royal
palace by the members of the royal
family; second, the fetes offered 10
the visiting princes, ENJOYS and high
functionaries; and, third, the popular
fetes organized for the people. These
begin on the wedding day, lasting =
week or more. The royal fetes in
clude banquets, dinners, and a grand
ball, to which only the representatives
of royal houses having family alliances
with Spain are hidden. The official
fetes to foreign ENJOYS and high func-
tionaries include reception and ban-
quet at the royal palace; military re-
view, gala performance al the Royal
theatre, reception and ball at the Ho-
tel de Vile, and many other enter
tainments for the distinguished guests.
BY far the most interesting fetes are
| those in which the people participate,
including night illuminationS Of the
Prado and other public quarters. a
Venetian feast at the Westparo, three
bull fights, a luminous cortege, a bat
tie of flowers, and a procession OF all
the Spanish provinces, in typical
| groups and figures, in order that the
| new queen may see the Spanish people
from every quarter of the country.
