Her success was instantaneous she was
the most popular American we ANA who had
ever been known in the dravnt, rooms Of
London; admirers by the scorA u4iIg upon
her words, her wit was the fasl:iol. her bon
mots were repeated everywhere. Z Exquisite
tact, for which she has been eiways noted,
was studied by hall the tilted nenlsa OF Lon
don: her charms of mind and person made
decided impression on the Queea herself, and
the fair Young American was the recipient
OF many distinguished marks Of ROYAL favor
She was but IS years Of age III jh;s time
When but a etolid boy the Pfiace e Wales,
now fat and scant OF breath, was infatuated
with her, as he hrs often confessed.
Indeed tie fondness Of the Prince of Wales
for Americans dates from the tiino he first
knew Harriet Lane The famous incident
concerning Miss Lanes presentation st court
made the Prince Of Wales, Is wetl as his
mother. warm friends Of the young woman
On that occasion the ladies of tie diplomatic
corps had been marshaled in regular order By
the lord chamberlain and were awaiting the
arrival OF royalty, when a very III bred
English woman, married 10 diplomat, de
liberHtely took her place ahead of the Ameri-
can minister's niece Miss Lane quietly at
tracted the attention Of the lord chamberlain.
He came up, and she explained that, while
for herself she was quite Indifferent to the
question of precedence, as the niece of the
American minister she declined to Weld her
place.
The lord chamberlain promptly put the
snobbsh English woman back whore she be-
longed, and Miss Lanes position was estab-

White House, sbc,was a, fully matured and
superb looking woman. She was blonde.
Her eyes were deep violet, and she was re-
fined in toilet, speech and manner. She
always avoided superfiuous ornament in
dress. Her accomplishments were many. She
was musician, painter student aud accom-
plished conversationalist.
The most interesting social event con-
nected with the presidency of Buchanan was
the visit of the Prince of Wales and suite to
Washington in the autumn Of 1869. This
was the first occasion that an heir apparent
to the English throne had visited the capital
of the lost colonies. Miss Lane did the
houors Of the White House in ouecnly fash
ion, and when the prince returned to Eng
land he sent her a letter overlooking with
grateful sentiments toward her for her cor
dial welcome The most Interesting circum-
stance Of the visit was the presence Of tho
great grandson of George III standing with
bowed head before the tomb of George
Washington, together with the president,
Miss Lane and large party az statesmen
and ladies.
At the close of his administration Bu-
chanan and bis niece retired 10 Ehaatland.
Hero Miss Lane remained until 1866, when
she was married to Mr.. Henry E. Johnston,
a prominent Baltimore banker The two

golden days Of youth Her husband died
some years ago, as did also her two boys, and
since their deaths she has lived in the strict

At recent japanese dinner foreign
guest determined to have no optical delu-

let his glances be distracted, and was not
once of his guard. Noticing this, the old
juggler played TO him entirely. An immense
porcelain vase was brought in and set in the
middle of the room and the juggler, crawl
ing up, let himself down into it slowly. The
skeptic then sat for half hour without
taking his eyes from the vase that he had

but the whole company protested that he
had had fair chance to catch the wizard

Harriet Lane Johnston, almost as beauti.

different circumstances under which she will
again take up her residence, after over
