 The recent peaceful revolution in Spain, which resulted in King AL foEso giving up his throne. is in marked contrast to the days of the French Revolution, when a wild populace sent Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette to the guillotine.
 Louis and Marie were Bourbons, as is Alfonso. Their autocratic ana tyrannicaI policies helped bring on the French RevoIution, while AL funso, sensing the democratic move mont in Spain, used all his skill and conciliatory tactics to avoid losing his throne. The French Revolution interrupted more than two centuries of Bourbon rule in France. while the peaceful Spanish revolution swept the last Bourbon ruler of q European throne.

 Fate decreed that Marie An toinette should be thrust into an en- vironment entirely alien to her trair,- ing. She had been taught to love luxury and gaiety. She came upon astonished France, even then rum. bling with discontent like a symbol of loyalty at its worst.
 Louis XVI, fifth of the Bourbon kings married her because he thought 1t would strengthen his po- sition in Europe. A daughter of Marie Theresa of Austria, she was it to. be . queen-but not in that age of the rise of democracy.
 Since the time of King Henry NV. first of the Bourbon kings, nearly 200 years before, the monarchy had become moro absolute, more auto cratic. Under the three Louis kings the power of the ruler and nobles had gradually Increased despite bit- ter wars. The royal. house and the mobility were enormously rich: the common people were distressingly poor.
 fn Normandy conditions were so terrible, most of the peasants sub sisted on oats alone. Taxes were ex- cessively heavy. The, masses wore an almost unbearable yoke. The seeds of revolution were being sown.

 The nobles followed like sheep. Marie Antoinette wasn't beautiful. A too-high forehead and a rather long face precluded that. But her high coloring, her bright blue eyes, her ready smile and her flair for q neatly-turned phrase gave her the gift of personality.
