...Republicans with one of their best reasons for ousting the Royal House (TIME, April 20, 1931, et seq.) Last week sentimental Cuban matrons murmured that love can cure and conquer all. One thing was certain. Spain's one-time Crown Prince Alfonso no longer looks tainted. From 92 Ib. his weight has climbed to 136-since the day twelve months ago when into the Swiss sanatorium where he was lying came a ripe-lipped, radiant Cuban patient, Senorita Edelmira Sampedro, daughter of a rich Cuban merchant...
