have fancied her Royal Highness was more astonished
than amused at the display. But as the dance waxed
warmer and the noise grew louder the Princess,
yielding to the general feeling, thoroughly appre-
ciated the fun, and laughed outright.
The Marchioness of Ely's fancy quadrille was
next introduced. This was supported by the fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen, and danced with
much aplomb :

This distinguished festivity, which for many
two great Scottish charities in the metropolis, years past has successfully aided the cause of the

ceived its crowning honour last night by the pre-

Rooms are specially adapted for ornamental display,
and upon this occasion the general arrangements
were made subservient to the expression of a loyal
and patriotic sympathy for her royal highness's
fatherland. The national flag of Denmark took its
appropriate place on either side of the Royal
Standard of Great Britain, and the galleries and
Danish colours.

M. de Bille, the highly respected Danish
Envoy at this Court, who was accompanied by M.
de Quaade and Baron Goldencrone, accredited to
the Conference now sitting; and Baron Rosen-
orantz, M. de Krieger, and Major Kauffman, at-
tached to the Danish Legation, all attending the
arrival of their excellent friend and ally Margaret,
Duchess of Somerset, " vor hertzngende" (our
duchess), as they are prone to designate her grace,
whose warm-hearted sympathy for and services
towards Denmark have entitled her to all the love
and veneration she uas won. The duchess was at-
tired in mourning, but the Danish colours were
conspicuous in every part of her superb costume.
The Duke and Duchess of Buecleuch were among
the early visitors. His grace wore the uniform of
the Royal Archer Body Guard of Scotland. Before
ten o'clock all that portion of the saloon not reserved
for the Royal party and the fancy quadrilles was
well filled.

The ladies and gentlemen engaged in the fancy
quadrilles, led by the Countess of Fife and the
Marchioness of Ely, assembled in the lower saloon
at ten o'clock, at which hour the ladies patronesses
were in attendance to receive and welcome their
Royal visitors. Pending the arrival of the Prince
and Princess opportunity was afforded for admiring
the exquisite toilettes of the ladies in these sets.
Lady Ely's quadrille was supposed to represent the
choicest flowers, baskets.of which formed the dis-

tinguished ornaments of white silk dresses of great
beauty. The ladies in the "Highland Quadrille,"
led by the Countesi of Fife, wore white bouillonne
tulle skirts, with tunics of white silk bordered with
tartan ribbond and edged with blonde, the belted
plaid being fastened over the right shoulder. Each
wore the badge of her family in the hair and the
tartan of her clan.

The boys and girls educated in the Caledonian
Asylum, with their juvenile band,
came at a quar-
ter to eleven o'clock. They had scarcely been mar-
shalled into their places when notification was made
of the Royal approach. Sir Charles Forbes, with
his lieutenants, Lord Stormont and Sir James Fer-
gusson, were instantly at their posts, and as the
Prince and Princess alighted they received their
Royal Highnesses with becoming distinction and
led them into the lower saloon, where the Duchess
of Wellington, the Duchess of Sutherland (Coun-
tess of Cromartie), the Duchess of Roxburghe, the
Duchess of Buccleuch, Margaret Duchess of Somer-
set, the Marchioness of Ely,
the Countess of Fife,
and other of the ladies patronesses were in attend-
ance to welcome the Prince and Princess. Their
Royal Highnesses were accompanied by Prince Louis
of Hesse and Prince Alfred. The Princess was
attired in white, with a broad sash of the Royal
Stuart tartan thrown over the shoulder, and fas-
tened by an aigrette of brilliants.
Highness's head-dress Her Royal
was composed of white
flowers studded with diamonds.
The Prince of Wales and his illustrious brother
R
and brother-in-law wore the
Royal Stuart plaid and the Highland costume, his Highness himself and Prince Louis
Princeadopting
Alfred the Vic-
toria tartan.

The Princess on entering shook hands cordially
with the Duchess of Wel:ington and the Duchess
of Sutherland, and, with a kindly reco nition for
all, her Royal Highness passed upstairgs into the
reception-room, where the Countess of Fife, in the
name of the ladies composing the
" Highland'Quad-
rille," presented to the Princess a superb bouquet
composed of red and white flowers of the choicest
kinds arranged in the form of a
Danish cross, and
contained in a rich gold holder bearing this inscrip-
tion—" Presented to the Princess of Wales by the
