The Newlyweds' baby has been dis
covered in real life. He is no Pigment
of George McManus' Imagination, no
creation of the comic artist. but a
real, breathing, "Da-da-ing" infant, the
pride and ruler of the household.
And his parents? Why, Mr.. and
Mrs. Newlywed, of course. Their
actual names? Well, Mr.. Newlywed's
real name is Alfonso, and his pretty
little wife is called Victoria The
baby's name is Alfonso Pho Cristine
Eduardo Francisco Guillermo Carlos
Enrique Fernando Antonio. And he is
the prince of the Asturias, heir APP
parent to the throne of Spain!
All the world loves lover, and all
the world laughs at the pretty pranks
of young couple with their first
baby. They do such ridiculous things,
they talk such foolish baby talk, and
seem so oblivious of what others may
think of them. Every one recognizes
the Newlyweds as drawn by McManus
in The World, and that is the reason
of their great success as comic
feature. But although 1t is generally
known that their prototypes must ex-
list in real, life, it was hardly to be eX-
pected that so dignified couple as
the king and queen of Spain would
furnish so notable an example. Yet
the papers are ringing with stories of
their antics as proud, silly parents,
and if ever there were a Mr.. and Mrs.
Newlywed they are the ones.
Not only all Madrid, which has the
honor of being the nursery of the
young prince. but all the world is in
terested in the daily events in the
palace where this scion of royalty is
being nurtured through his early in
fancy, says the New York World.
Curiosity Is Universal.
What is he doing? How Is he to-
day? Has he a good nurse? Can he
put his toe in his mouth YETI? These
are daily questions encountered at the
Madrid bridge parties and in the shop
ping hour. Curiosity is fed by
plethora of details which are allowed
to creep out of the palace without
much restraint The populace and the
royal family seem nearer together
than ever before. 1t is all the work
of that baby
From all that can be learned, the
Young king and his bride are most
human pair The king is just IA
ther. proud of his baby, and taking
more interest in him than parent
usually shows. For instance, we
learn that the other day he went in
the nursery and happened TO see
some picturebooks that had been CIV
on the baby. The young prince Is
hardly old enough yet to enjoy pic
ture-books, but people don't think OF
those things when they get presents
for baby. So the picture-books were
there.
The king picked one up and glanced
through 1t, one eye fixed adminngiy
on the prince, who was trying TO put
his fist in his royal eye. The KING
gave a little exclamation as he turned
the pages. - -. GOOD
