Here QUEEN VICTORIA SEES OLD HOME Wife of Spanish Monarch Gets Hearty Welcome From Her English Friends. PREDICTION 1S- RECALLED oO Letter Her. Father ale Wrote Her Said She Would Be Happy in Spain. By T P. O'Connor, London, Aug, i8 There is always somebing that touches one in the re- turn from a.foreign land of one of its own people and this is one of the rea- sons why the young queen of Spain Is at this. moment getting so hearty a welcome from all sorts and conditions, of men and women during he present visit to the land of. ber birth. Tt is-a curious coincidence that the young girl should have been told when quite-a child by ope of her parents that one day she would find happi- ness in the lovely land of Spain. On hls way to the exhibition in Ashant which killed him, Prince Henry of Battenburg whiled away the dreary hours of a compulsory, wait nt Gib- raltar by running up to see the beau- ties of Seville, It somehow or other struck him that he ought to write a letter to his little daughter before he left for the unknown Africa, It was the first time he ever wrote to her, for it was the first time that he bad ever been separated froni her, and in this Tetter,-after telling her to be a Zood girl, and to love her mother, he told her that when she was big and able to travel you. will beautiful country.

When the young Princess was in Paris a short time before her matriage, the chamberlain lof the king s court, was ordered to hire for her an automobile There was none fit for her that could be hired, replied the chamberlain, and then came the imperative message of the ardent young lover that an auto- mobile should be purchased there and then and the young princess, used to the modest ways of the Juniors of even such circles as those of royalty, was able to dash through the streets of Paris in a brand new Panhard.

In short, it-was an, up-to-date idyll up- to-date and yet so old fashioned. Wedding Day Tragedy. One-is tempted to dwell a little over these preliminary scenes, they stand in such contrast with the hor- rors that) mmediately followed. Hverybody knows the gorgeous splendors and the elaborate etiquette companied; carriage, after carriage, princes and courtiers and high digni- taries of the church, and all the elab- 0 orate ceremonials in the cathedral, then the exit into the brilliant ght lof the Spanish day at noon, and then the procession through the streets crowded with tens of thousands, giv- ing to the young people the enthusi- laste welcome that thefr youth, their love, as well as thelr position called for, and then the entranee into. the Calle Mayor the jast street to be traversed before the young cople reached home and silence A bouquet 18 thrown from a bal cony it is huge and seems a more splendid -gitt of welcome than any that has preceded ft during the splendid procession, but. in a second there is.a crash; there comes the wail of dying thirty persons le dead. hundreds are wounded, horses le In the agonies of death as well as hu- man beings, and the wondrous gown lof the young bride worked by many hands and a present from the bride- groom, s spattered with blood.

Shows Tact of Princess ning for a wedding and a reign. This was the unknown the prospect of which brought sadness to the young princess as she left her own home of security, and tranquility and univer- sal affection for another land, in ab- niormat conditions. Motherhood has come to her several times since that day and she has shown the tact as princess in adapting herself to the fdeas and even the prejudices of her new country, but the image of that horror, can never be wholly effaced from her mind. If tact can save throne and a dynasty the young queen certainly will be the guardian and the savior of her husband and children and their heritage, It-must have cost her some mo- ments of-pain and suspense when first she had had to face the horrors of the bull fight, but she herself, with her own handkerchief, gave the sig- nal for the great show to begin. She wears the mantilla of the Span- ish woman in some of her public ap- pearances, and it is said with a grace as great as that of the lady native to the country. Brought up as carefully las royalties are in our days, she jearned to be linguist when she was a child and already could speak French and German, as well as Eng- lish, and t took her only a few months to speak Spanish fluently. She has found in ber large nursery abundant- opportunity for the pre- cious work of the young mother.
