A ROYAL WEDDING.

Many Kings and Queens Present to
See ceremony-Pretender to Throne
of France Escorts Bride to Altar
Gifts of Bride and Gowns Worth
Millions Of Dollars.

London, Nov. 17.-Wood Norton,
the English home Of the duke OF Or
leans, where the pretender to the
throne of France holds court, well
coined a distinguished company Satur-
day at the wedding of Prince Charles
of Bourbon. and Princess Louise OF Or
leans. ~..
The religious ceremony to which
this company had been invited took
place in an improvised chapel built OF
canvas, but SO cleverly painted that 1t
could hardly be distinguished from
the gray stone house which it ad-
joined. -....
The chapel was connected with the
castle by an arched walk, over which
the bridal procession proceeded.
The duke of Orleans led with the
bride, meeting at the altar the bride
groom, who was attended by King
Alfonso of Spain.
The score of other royal personages
in attendance included the queens of
Spain and Portugal, Princess Henry Of
Battenberg and Grand Duke Vladimir.
They were followed by members of
the diplomatic corps. including the
American ambassador, Whitelaw Reid,
and Mrs. Reid.
The service was that OF the Roman
Catholic church, with choral accom-
paniment by an orchestra and soloists
from the Paris opera house. The
bishop Of Birmingham celebrated mass
and bestowed the pontifical blessing,
the remainder of the service being
performed by the dukes chaplain, who
delivered a short address, in which
he referred to the happy gathering
of SO many members of the dukes
family, which, he said, unfortunately
could not occur in France"
After the ceremony the wedding
banquet was served at the castle, at
which the duke of Orleans and King
Alfonso proposed the usual toasts
During the afternoon the duke re-
