An intimate friend of his says that the Spanish ex-sovereign has not lost that bonhomie and informality that made him so many friends among foregin visitors to his court —reputed the stiffest in Europe. Douglas Fairbanks was invited, or rather commanded, to attend the court with his wife, Mary Pickford, on his first visit to Spain. He went to a lot of trouble inquiring about etiquette and getting up a formal little speech about “ the relations between our two great countries, your Majesty.” But when he was conducted to the Throne down the lines ot grandees on court night the King interrupted his speech before he had spoken two words. Leaning forward and tapping Doug, on the arm, he said heartily: “ Tell me, what’s happened to that fellow, Fatty Arbuckk?”
