WASHINGTON, June 21st.-Society here is
excited over the development Of a scandal
involving one attache of the French Legation,
one attache of the Spanish Legation and a
young lady of high social standing. These

attended brilliant reception, or evening
party, at fashionable residence in the west
of Washington, and during the latter part of
the social season they paid special attention
to a young lady, and managed to engage her
at the supper table. After all the other
guests had left the supper-room, they
piled the young lady with wine until she was
well under its influence. and then compro-
missed her by inducing her to accompany
them up stairs to a private dressing room.

have been cut entirely by the club because of
their conduct. The young lady's family
