SPAIN'S EX-QUEEN SELLS RADIO

£250,000 JEWELS

"For Her Personal

Needs

By A Correspondent

New York.

THE ex-Queen Victoria Eugenie (Queen Ena) of Spain has engaged a young New York jeweller to sell her jewels, valued at a quarter of a million pounds.

The jeweller, Mr. Paul Flato, whose famous firm is known in Now York jewellers to royalty, recently showed letter from Queen Ena in which she tells the history of the Em- press Eugenie's emerald and the other historic gems in the col- lection.

The lelier was wrlften from an address In Porchester-terrace. Paddington, London, WV.

"Queen Ena is not selling her jewels to raise money for the In- surgents in Spain." sald Mr. Flato. "but for ker personal needs. want to Impress on you for the pre- sent that none of the crown Jewels are for sale. That may or may not come later.”

with

Mr. Flato arrived back from Europe yesterday after conferring Queen Ena. He does not expect the Jewels to fetch £250,000, but belleves

that their historical value will keep the price high.

£15,000 CROSS

The Empress Eugenie's emerald cross is valued at £15,000. The sixty-five carat stone is probably the most famous emerald in the world. Four queens have worn it.

"The Duke of Windsor is ex- pected to be in the market for it,” and the Jeweller, "as the Duchess is extremely fond of jewelled crosses."

The gems were locked away in a safe in Mr. Flato's office to-day. Any one wanting to see privately these diamonds, rubles, pearls and emeralds of a former queen has first to con- vince the jeweller of his credentials,

"Queen Ena," said Mr. Flato, "first discussed the sale with me when she came to New York to visit her sick son, the Count of Covadonga. Then a few weeks ago she telephoned me from London, and I hastened to Europe in the Normandie.

GIFT TO EMPRESS "It grieved her to part with them." Here's a note from her; read it,"

I read "The emerald cross was given to the Empress Eugenie by Isabel II. of Spain on the occasion of the Spanish official visit to the Court of Napoleon III, and brought to the empress by her husband, Francisco do Assial.

"The Empress Eugenie gave the cross to Queen Victoria, and Queen Victoria left it in her will to her youngest daughter, Princess Beatrice, From Princess Beatrice ex-Queen Victoria Eugenie received the cross." The noto Was signed "Victoria Eugenie."

The emerald cross will not reach New York for two weeks. The other jewels-which Mr. Flato refused to ist-dre here now.
