it nicely and gracefully notwithstanding.
In his wake came the Grandees OF Spain,
whose duty II was TO pull on the stockings
and lace UP the shoes of the thirteen old
men; but they dIdn ! do their part prettlly
at all. They seemed to think it was rather
beneath them. and yanked at the stockings
and jerked at the shOelaces until one old
man actually said "Ooch. and thereby dis
graced himself forever.
Well, when the foot washing part OF the
ceremony was over, the old men were reshOd,
and the last prayer had been SAID, II was up
TO the King, again following custom, to
serve the victims with thlrteen-course din
ner-which, possibly from fear OF their
table manners. they are not allowed TO eat.
They sit at a damask covered and silver
laden board, the chef hands a wonderfully
garnished dish 10 an equerry, the equerry
passes It to 4 gentleman IN waiting, the gen
tlenlan IN waiting hands It to chamber
lain, the chamberlain gives 1t to Grandee
OF Spain. the Grandee bows and hands 1t to
an Archbishop the Archbishop drops on his
knee and gives 1t to the Cardinal, the Car
dinal, muttering a grace in Latin, hands 1t
TO the King, and the King places 1t before
the beggars, whose mouths are watering IN
anticipation.
But no sooner does the King set 1t down
on one SIDE Inan z QlgnlJaTE SIaLCitS IL up Oh
the other before the beggars 50 much as get
a look at it, and it IS hustled out and placed
in q hamper. And when the hamper IS
filled the beggars, when they are finally
permitted to make their escape, are sup
posed TO take it home to their starving fam
lies; but as a matter OF fact they sell the
contents for round sums to waiting pastry
cooks before they get out OF the palace yard.
The serving Of thirteen-cOurse dinners IS
likely to become a trife tedious, especially
when they are not eaten; so when an enor-
nous pyramid OF stuffed olives came bob
bing UP the line the young King, who Was
tired and hungry, slipped one into his mouth
when he thought no one was looking. But
just as he did so he caught q flash OF dlsap-
provaI from his mother, Queen Christina
So, when poor Alfonso caught his mama S
disapproving glance, he nearly cholled IN his
effort to swallow the offending titbit, and the
great pyramid of olives he held tOppled and
fell and rolled all over the floor. 4 Prince OF
the Church pounded him on the back, an
Archbishop rushed for water, and the thlr-
teen beggars looked on anazedly at such
DISPLAY Of table manners.
