"Jubileo_Baby."

Princess Ena, bad "come out" for the celebrations on the occasion of King Edward's coronation. She was one of the most popular members of the Royal Family. Queen Vic toria, we are informed, called her the "jubilee baby," as she was born, in 1887.

She had spent her childhood at Kensington Palace, Windsor, the Isle of Wight, and Balmoral. The Empress Eugene was her godmother when she was christened at Bal- moral.

"I don't think I shall marry Life's auch fun as it is; besides, I'm quite sure I shall never fall" in love."

So said Princess Ena when she was eighteen, a few months before King Alfonso came to London with her photograph in his mind's eye.

At the Opera.

King Alfonso's admiration for Princess Ena became public at the gala performanco" at Covent Gar den.

Throughout the performance,” it is recalled, "King Alfonso paid her marked attention. They chat- ted together in the intervals of the opera, compared programmes, and society. were clearly enjoying each other's In the audience tongues began to wag.”

"There is little doubt,

writes"

Evelyn Graham, "that the Queen is an unusually beautiful woman, and this fact has given rise to many popular phrases concerning such as

One of the most beautiful queens in Europe, and The best-dressed queen in the world.'

A beautiful oval face-clear, fair colouring good eyes, a sensi tive mouth, and a prevailing impres sion of queenliness-this is the Queen of Spain."
