Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, July Is. 1913
Paris after Bastille day is a city de-
serted by the ladies of the beaumonde
who have migrated to Trouville. Deau-
Vile and all the other fashionable seaside
resorts along our coast. There remain
only the tourists and the workers. who
are not inclined to gossip. because they
know nothing to gossip about.
When one talks, and. of course, every
body talks, they are restricted to subjects
of the past, and possibly nothing is more
eagerly discussed than the case against
King Alfonso of Spain. to whom M. AL
bert de Cazarilh, former mayor of Luz
chon left his whole fortune and estates.
The sister Of NJ. Albert Sapene de Caz-
ar,lh. "le veuve Sacaze," contested the
will because she thought that as WHO"
with several children she had better
claim on the money than Alfonso who IS
a rich man and who receives very hand
some salary, considering the work ne
does. ,....., .ho 4o,a tho

Contention Of Counsel.

that II was during particularly Vloient

what surprises most here Is that Nine.
c.caze did not take steps to stop her
hrother from making testaments, which
annears to have been one Of his favorite
co petimes. He once made a testament In
fpaS,or Of the Count of Chambord. one of
ths last Bourbons, and that there was
method in his madness is proved by the
.act that when the count died he trans
ferred his sympathies to the last or the
