waiting got her way and the visit was
spent. not at buckingham Palace, but
at the Ritz Hotel. Had the late king
been less tolerant easy-going man
of the world than he was this might
have caused trouble. but as it was. his
majesty was much more amused imam
annoyed at the occurrence.
For various reasons the Queen or
Spain tolerates. if she doesn't actually
approve. of these feminine influences
over the king She knows that her hus-
band is not in the ordinary meaning OF
the word In love with any of the women
who exercise so much influence over
him. But King Alfonso is extremely
susceptible TO feminine influence. espe-
cially the influence of beautiful women.
The queen herself, if she cannot lay
claim to much beauty, Is nevertheless
certainly not the least OF these infiu-
ences" and II her majesty cannot al
ways get her way at court she can
get it in most affairs of any real i'm
portance.
The Duchess dAron. one of the most
powerful women at the Spanish court. Is
one OF the Queen of Spains most in
innate friends and in the exercise of
their influence over King Alfonso these
two are mutually useful TO each other.
for if the influence of one is not suffi-
cient to induce the king to Yield. his
majesty never fails 10 do so when the
influence of both is brought to bear on
him.
These feminine influences. though. on
the whole. harmless. are certainly ex-
ercised from time to time in unwise
directions For example, the household

merous are made practically altogetNer al

Alfonso did put up some show Of a light
