The life-tragedies of queens of all cations and in all times sufficiently prove that they are numbered among the most miserable of women; but the glamour of a crown, and the external trappings of Sovereignty,, continue, neverthe less, to dazzle the eye and enslave the imagi. pation of those who, having had as yet no ex perience of what history records, believe they laugh at late and make a history of their own." What, asks Miss Corelli, are the convictions of a boy and girl like the King and--the Prin cess?

"They are mutually of the opinion that it is good to be alive and young; that motor-cars are splendid inventions; that, flowers and bonbons and jewels are pretty things; that the incessant smoking of cigarettes has a certain 'devil-may-care dash and 'verve about it. especially when this Spanish habit is practised the 17th day of May, 20 at 1 &.M., precisely,by a Princess of the English blood-rayal; that Subjers to such 'C.. itions of Sale as it is amusing to be a little bit in love; that it is pleasant to be cheered by the populace, even if the populace have no special reason to cheer:

NETWORK OP INTRIGUE. "Round these two unthinking and playful human creatures a wonderful. well-nigh in- visible network of intrigue has been woven steadily, but surely, and the threads are now being tightened quickly, lest the prey should escape after all, and the weaving be in vain."

With this prelude, Miss Corelli goes on to point to the ex-Empress Eugenie, the Princess's god-mother, as one of the prime movers in the match. Then she proceeds to a criticism of cf Princess Ena's mother, Princess Elenry of Battenberg, that will no doubt be strongly resented,

may, says Miss Corelli, "perhaps be permitted to wonder whether, supposing that instead of being confirmed in the Faith of England-she (the Princess) had then express ed & wish to be re-baptised into the Church of Rome, her mother would have allowed it? It would scarcely have been 'expedient. Because a Protestant Prince might have come along with an offer of mariage and a throne in prospect.

"In the Princess Ena's case a Catholic King has appeared on the scenes ergo, the Faith of England, in which this girl was born and educated, must go, to the wall. In order to mount a throne, she must alter and shape her religious views to suit those of the somewhat or wrongly, with having made a recent state excitable young man, who is credited, rightly ment to the effect that he would stamp out every vestige of Protestantiam in Spain.
