that another Iwo weeks would pass.
Court is Summoned.
Messen.'ers were hastily dispatch
ed to the primne minlister and other
chie, court dignlitaries, as the advent
of al heir to the throne of Spain is
an event of the deepest political
significance.
Throug.h the early morning minis
ters and bli"' functionaries arrived at
tlie court of the palace.

glad tidin,s with mingled feelim:,s of
ent husiasi and emiotion. That the

a male heir to the throne--was no
less welcome than the happy event
itself.
In no mionarchial country in the
world is the ceremonial observed at
the birth of the first offspring of the
king .and queen so rigidly, stately and
formal in Spain, and on this occasion,
so significant for the Bourbon dlynas
ty with an heir to the throne so anx
iously awaiitedl, nothing was omitted
the courtly etiquette.
From the momenet when Queen Vic

appi oaching the period atf materntity,
the most careful serv'~eillance was ex
eriesed over her, in order tha lt t'he
hopes of the country should not ran
anyt~ risk of being blighted.

Several montths bef'ore her accoun
chement, according to Spanish royal
custom, the quee'n took up her resi
deuce at the palace in Madlrid to
await thle anxious moment. Thence,
n ccomtpantied by the king, she had un
dlertakent from time to time, pilgri
mages to various holy shrines to prafy
for a safe deilverance, in the same
way' as thle humblest Spmtfish woman.
