THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.
AND HER DAUGHTERS.
Dressmakers arc always delighted when the Queen of Spain and her entrancing daughters, the young Infantas, go to London 011 a visit, for the Queen buys most of her clothes there. And they say that she is a delight to dress because she wears everything so well and flatters their models. One dress sbo ordered recently was of black satin, quite untrimmed; another of wine-red velvet. Her dresses must bo plain, to show of! her lovely jewels. Some street ensembles that she chose recently 011 her visit to London were in different shades of mauve, and most of her hats were of the turban variety. Queen Ena, as she is known to her friends (although the Spanish people call their Queen Victoria Eugenie), is said to be the most sympathetic of all the Royal women. It mav be tho homeliness of Kensington Palace against the cold beauty of the Royal Palace of Madrid that calls Queen Ena so often to her old home. At a dinner given in her honour in London she found all the foods had been arranged to represent, as nearly as possible, the colours of the Spanish flag, and that quails, her favourite dish, had been given a prominent place.
