what they consider a lack OF delicacy
on his part.
His Majesty has Just taken up his
summer residence at the Ciergnon Cas-

Belgian nation. and was the residence
OF the late Queen.
d The King. however, has not scrupled
TO take his morganatic wife, Baroness
Vaughan, and two Of the children born
OF his marriage with her to live there.
1T is felt that the King exceeds the
bounds ofdecency in allowing Baroness
Vaughan to reside at Ciergnon as the
guest OF the Belgian nation.

The beast had escaped from an ex-

resent his Intrusion.
When the lion-tamer arrived the
animal welcomed him with JOY, and
permitted himself to be led back to

He seemed as glad to get away from
the ballet girls as they were to be rid
OF him.
