NEW YORK, May 15 Martha enclude, the supple, ox-eyed young French woman dancing at the Follies Bergeres, the all-night theater here, gives some personal "reminiscences of King Alfonso of Spain. Manuel, the late king of Portugal. and the new shah of Persia.

 "The most impossible man l ever met" continued Miss Lenclud, "is the young shah of Persia. He never reads the newspapers. and so l sup pose l can safely cal. him stupid a dummy"
 She danced for him, she said, and he simply stared at her. helpless. 'I could not talk Persian,' she eX- plained. and the shah didn't know any French except mon ami and so we were limited in our conversa- tion to the silent use of our eyes
