She left this country an actress
and returns a princess.
The most interesting chapter OF
the story recounted by the princess
upon her arrival was how she met
the king of Spain, who afterward
caused her to meet many persons OF
high rank, including the Portuguese
prince, who won her as a bride after
an ardent courtship.
"Our marriage was perfect love
match" she said. "After our meet
ing in Madrid we were constantly
together. Six months ago we were
married in Lisbon, his native city.
And we really were married If a
couple ever was. We went through
three ceremonies. First we were
married by a city official, then we
had a church wedding, in which
both my church, the Episcopal, and
my husbands church, the Roman
Catholic, were represented. Tie
last wedding was a state ceremony
