WHEN (he lady te whom (lie incident is credited was presented le the King nt the Palace in Brussels the name Ilnrrlsburg, as her place of residence, vvns coupled with her name. "Ilnrrlsburg, indeed!" said His Majesty with u smile. "I have very pleasant recollections of Ilnrrlsburg and Governer Spnml. I was accorded n charming reception at the capi tal." Then with a smile the King centinued: "De you knew that u very amusing little incldctit occurred during the reception? 1 was conversing with a lady during u mo ment when Governer Sprenl had left iny side when she inquired : 'Who is that fine looking gentleman ever yonder?
