King Manuel Enjoys simple Life"

.'aaa1A"ti hshJotS
London, Feb. 11.-Although the
eXiled King Manuel and Queen
Amelia have been at Richmond on
, ly two or three weeks, the people
of the Royal borough are already
taking their presence quite as a
matter of course.
Now that the photographers have
ceased from troubling and newspa-
per reporters have turned their at
tention to fresher topics, King Man
uel and his mother are able to en-
seek. They leave and return to
the mansion in Kings road unno-
ticed, except by the policeman on
duty at the gate, the sole adyer-
tisement that Abercon is not as
other houses on the hill.
And the goings and comings are
pretty constant, because both the
young King and Queen Amelia love
the open air, and find constant de-
light in exploring Richmond Park.
The Queen knows it and the sur
rounding country we'll, for she pass
ed much of her youth in the home
of the Gomte de Paris at Twicken-
ham, only a mile or two distant.
The King is rapidly acquiring a
knowledge Of the most desirable ex-
cursions for walking or riding or
motoring.
King a Great Walker.
He takes a great deal of walk
ing exercise, generally in the morn
ing, after breakfast, which is serv-
ed in Continental style about $3.50
at Abercorn. A stroll to the Rob-
in Hood Gatein the park, by Hahn
Cross and back, about six miles. Is
his favorite route, which he indulges
in nearly every morning. Some
times he is accompanied by Senior
Kerausch, his late tutor, sometimes
by the Marquis de Lavradio. the
private secretary, who lives near by
at Sussex House.
He disdains the protection of an
overcoat during these walks. Dress
ed in blue serge or tweed and wear
ing n soft felt hat, he apparently
finds the climate of Richmond quite
congenial.
He is a pretty constant visitor to
London, where he calls on his loyal
adherents. Including the Marquis
and Marquise de Faval. Both the
ex-King Manuel and his mother
have been seen riding in Richmond
Park, attended by single groom.
The stables attached to Abercorn,
which lie about 100 yards from the
house, to which they are connected
by telephone, now contain some
half-dozen horses for the use of the
royal party.
No Wallpaper in House.
The interior of Abercorn has
been repainted and the walls dis
tempered, for ex-King Manuel dis
likes wallpaper
Some half-dozen smaller houses
in the neighborhood have been TAX
en- by friends of the exiies. At
present the Comte and Comptesse
de Figuerio, the Lord Chamberlain
and the Lady-in-Wafting are stay
with their Aa5esties. but when
Grows Nest" in the Queens
road, has been re-decorated they
