Spanish Royalties to Take in Capital
'On Tour; Visit To Be Unofficial
Festivities Are Planned;
Party Which Lands in
New York Today Will
Reach Washington in
Early December

The group of Spanish
royalties, who arrived in
New York today, will come
to Washington later. Their
visit will be unofficial, but
will be made the pleasant
occasion of a round of fes-
tivities in which the official
group will have part.
In the party are Don Al
fonso of Orleans, Infante of
Spain. a first cousin of King
Alfonso, and his wife, the
Infanta Beatrix, who is the
sister of Queen Marie of
Rumania and a granddaugh-
ter Of the late Queen Vic
toria Of England. Her father
was the late Duke of Edin-
burgh, a brother of the late
King Edward. They will be
accompanied by their eldest
son, Don Alvaro, a Prince of
Orleans and Bourbon, and
by the Marques de Villavieja
and his daughter, Senorita
Donna Pomposa de Escan-
don.
Due in December
It had been expected that the
Infante Alfonso and Infanta
Beatriz would be guests of Mrs.
Richard Townsend, one Of Wash
ington's most distinguished un-
official hostesses, but because OF
her frail health q change will be
made and decision as to where
they will stay will be reached
later. The charge d'affaires Of
Spain. Don Mariana de Amoedo,
and Major Victoriano Casajus,
military attache of the embassy,
went to New York yesterday to
meet the party upon their ar
rival in New York.
The visitors will not reach
Washington until toward De-.
cenber /. as they are to stay
first with Gen. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt in New York
and will then 60 to Roslyn,
L. l., to be guests of Percy
Rivington Pyne, I'd, at Rivington
House. On November II Mr..
Pyne will take his guests to
Princeton to call on his mother,
Mrs. M. Taylor Pyne, and
President Hibben, of Princeton
University, who will escort them
over the university buildings.
From Princeton they will go to
Philadelphia to pass several
days with Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
e. Widener at Lynnewood Hall,
their place at Elkins Park. On
the morning of November n
they will return to New York to
attend the performance of LA
Trayiata" to be given at the
Metropolitan Opera in aid of
the fund for the University of
Madrid, which is sponsored by
their Majesties King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria of Spain.
To Be Feted
After this the party viii! start

they will come to- Washington
Boston. Montreal, Detroit and
Niagara Falls also on their
schedule.
Don Alfonso has been charged
with personal messages from
King Alfonso to President Coolidge
and other high officials. Doubt
less the distinguished visitors will
be entertained at the White House
and some sort of fete at the
Spanish Embassy is in order.
The Spanish Ambassador and
Nine. de Padilla, who are now on
their way back to this country
from Spain, will have arrived in
Washington by that time.
The Spanish Infante is the son
of the Infanta Eulalia, who visited
this country at the time OF the
Chicago Exposition in 1898 and
was much feted. He speaks Eng
lish fluently, naturally enough,
since his wife is an English
princess.
