Debutantes from the U. S. who have wintered in Madrid know Alba as the gay Grandee who owns the flock of brown dachshunds. At all his balls and some-times at the King's they romp and yap among the dancers' legs?especially the one called Jimmie. But Alba's brown dachshunds are much better ball-broken than the two famed black dachshunds of erst Kaiser Wilhelm II, which more than once appalled the Imperial Court at Berlin.
