10 Tales of Well In Social an King of Spain Attracts Known Folk | d Official Life| World-Wide Interest by Courageously Facing Problems Affecting His Reign as Sovereign. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Alfonzo of Spain is centering the at- tention of the world and the progress of the royal bark of state will be anx- iously watched both by those who be- lieve in the divine right of kings as by those who profess republican prineiples. But every one admires the sportsman- like qualities of the Spanish monarch and remember his courageous speech before the Cortes previous to the eleva- tion of the recent premier, Primo de Rivera, to the dictatorship. It was an earnest appeal to patriotism and a solemn junction to his people that if they were tired of kings to make the change to a republic in an orderly man- mer and not stain the annals of their country by the shedding of innocent blood. * He ended whimsically by asking that if the Spanish people desired a Tepublic and to elect a president of it, to allow his name to go on the ballot as one of the candidates for the executive office. No doubt he will continue to maintain the same attitude, although Spain is in much more quiescent state than it was when the retired dictator took the . Alfonso is of simple habits and not the least reason why he lar is that kho'ingl he has no king, he welcomes xpositions or na- in fact, performs all those functions which fall to the royal lot, laconically as if he were sending a cable gram. But he has a gracious manner and what he says in such few words is ‘well worded and entirely adequate. * Ok k% Meantime, Gen. Primo de Rivera has retired to his fine estate at Jerez de le Frontera, one of the loveliest cities of Spain and third in the point of wealth. For it is the center and distributing point of the vast sherry wine industry, one of the unfailing sources of the na- tional wealth. The visitor fiom this side of the Atlantic is awed by the sight of miles of giant casks along the motor roads lying in the sun and utterly un- protected and attracting no more at- tention than the water barrels of work- ing road forces do here. Madrid be- wails the loss from the social realm of the two lovely young daughters of the former ler, who were presented to the court only the past November. The dictator was hospitable in his own home and amiable about going to as many others as he could and attend to his duties. Both daughters are famed dan- cers and were the toast of the royal drawing rooms. In Jerez de le Frontera the family of Gen. Rivera has been emi- nent for centuries. He has a splendid estate set in the blue hills amon; In Our Semi-Annual Sale WOMEN’S & SHOES REDUCED ]/2 and More! 385 g $5.85 In Addition to - - - TWO SMART GROUPS | $1085 - greatly reduced from their former prices the decisive battle between the Span- fards and the Moors lns Visigoths. ! ®x o | The recently appointed inspector gen- | eral of the Army, Gen. Hugh Aloysius | Drum, is an unusually brilliant exn | nent of martial traditions in the lani defense of the Nation. His father, an- | other Hugh Aloysius, was killed in the i skirmish at San Juan Hill and President | McKinley profoundly grieved that such | a splendid officer should have met | death in gaining Cuba’s freedom, and he appointed the son at once as second lieutenant, and though he was only 19 | and in the junior year in Boston Col lege, he accepted the commission and | saw some of the fighting in Cuba. In- | | spector General Drum was literally born | |intc the Army, at a military post in | Michigan, and his ambition had always | been to follow the family profession. | His grandfather met his death hero- ically scaling the heights of Chapultepec, | and his father, though a youth just out ! of West Point in the last year of the | Civil War, did his part in preserving | the Union. The inspector general, who i was the youngest brigadier of the Army, | and is the baby, so to speak, of the | major generals, is at home in many | lands and has served several times in | the Philippines and in Hawali—in fact, in all the insular possessions. He ac- | companied Gen. Pershing in the inva- | jon of Mexico and overseas when this Republic declared war on the Teutonic | | powers. His military fame rests se- | | curely on his service as chief of staff of the A. E. F. and the preparations of | the campaigns, notably that of St.| Mihiel and the 45 days’ unceasing grind | from the Argonne to the Meuse. | e e King George of Britain is receiving a q'ulc‘lpe‘ned attention from the citizens | of this country since so many hundreds of thousands listened to his speech over the radio when the London Naval Lim- itation Conference opened. Almost as many of these listeners now find com- mon und of interest in reading of the g’s hobbies and pastimes.

Once on a time Geo: V held the record of being the best wing shot in Great Britain, but he seldom joins hunt- ing parties now, the fatigue, vagaries of the weather and long hours being under the ban of his physicians. But he clings to his yacht and to his private sailing boat, on” which he passes much time when near the sea. Sometimes he takes a hand in a skiff with one of his sons when the royal family is at | ‘Windsor. * ok ok % Mr. Harry Worcester Smith of Bos- ton, who is a pioneer in a half dozen ways in the royal sport of hunting, has recently set up a sign on the cross- roads leading to his extensive estate near Aiken, S.

The sign reads, “To the Woolworth House, Mews of the Bat- tered Brigade.” To these hospitable stables for auto vehicles and too much of a machine shop to be called a ga- rage come not only friends invited to visit Mr. £€mith, but those who meet wtih accidents while bound farther on the road.
