pointed out that in these days, when
dynasties are none too secure, every
effort should be made to secure the
prestige which even artificial condi-
tions give TO royal families.
King Alfonso thereupon forbade
the marriage saying, sententiously:
There are many Miss Town.
sends; there is only one Duke DIAL
ba."
Upon this the Duke bowed low
and acquiesced.
Miss Mathilde Townsend is the
III. Townsend and granddaughter OF
magnate. of Erie, Pa. She is a
striklngly handsome blonde and has
attracted attention wherever she
has gone, both at home and abroad,
royalty itself being among her ad-
mirers. Mrs. Grundy has persisted
for a long time In saying that she
was engaged 10 the Duke D'Alba,
one OF the greatest generals OF
Spain, but about a month ago her
mother, at the Hotel Plaza. POSI-
lively denied that there was any en-
gagement or any prospects of one.
