February 9, 1926
The Prince of Asturias heir to the Spanish throne, "has had his first peep at ultra Spanish society," according to a New York Times dispatch. A "grand ball" was given in honor of the nineteen-year-old Prince by the Marquis of Viana, Master of the Royal Household.
The ball was attended by members of the Spanish nobility and "the elite of the nation."
This was the first evening function that the Prince has attended. He has been present at "numerous religious and civil fetes," but nothing as splendid as this ball.
King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia, the grandees of Spain, and other guests "gave a scene of splendor to the ball."
