Therefore, last week, the presence of King Alfonso at Wimbledon was almost equivalent to a royal cheering section f r the great Spanish net star Señorita Lilli de Alvarez. His Majesty did not cheer, but he watched, animated. She, warmly beautiful, vivacious, and compellingly feminine, came up, last week, in the women's singles finals against Miss Helen Wills.
