happy woman, comparatively speak

gal, who with her toy king son. Man
uel. escaped from Lisbon with their
lives when that city was seized by the
reyolutionists. The agony and terror
| in which this poor woman has lived
for more than two years is beyond
description. according to one of her
| ladies-in-waiting. who has just ar
rived in Paris from London.
| The life of the fallen Queen has
been one of long suffering for she
realized only too well the hopelessness
of the situation so far as the perman-
ency OF the Portuguese monarchy was

country residence of her brother, the
Due d'Orleans. She is soon to make a
protracted visit to France. where the

definitely settled that the deposed
King Manuel will live much in the
open air for many months, for as a
result of a not altogether quiet life, his
nerves have been shattered as re-
suit of the events of the last few
weeks. Steps will be taken to hinder
any attempt on his part to renew his
friendship with the French actress,
Gaby Deslys, with whom he was great

is not liked in Spain, partly because
she is Protestant and also because
she has attempted to introduce Eng
