Her ROYAL highness, the Infanta Eulalie
spent Sunday in a quiet, restful way. Like all
good Catholics, she first acquitted herself Of
the obligation Of assisting at mass. When in
formed Of the hour of the different services
at St Matthew'S Church she selected the low
mass at 8. A carriage was waiting to drive the
party thither, but the distance was too ehort
and the princess preferred to walk. Her husband,
Prince Antoine, the Marchioness Ereo Her
mosa and the Duke Tsmoures accompanied
her. Scarcely any one they met on the
way to the church knew them. Sexton Bar
nett walked ahead Of them down the aisle
to the first pew, Mrs. NJ. V. Dahlgren's pew for
many years back. The princess went in first
and noticing the hesitation of her lady In wait
ing, the marchioness, to take the place beside
her said to her in Spanish, "You must sit near
me or shall go in that pew with you"
Low mass was celebrated BY Rev. T. J. Ker-
wick. who, after reading the gospel for Pentecost
Sunday, gave a short, eloquent discourse on
the lessons of the feast
SUBMITTED TO INSPECTION.
After mass the princess and party came up
the aisle with the rest of the congregation. At
the door she waited to exchange word with
members Of the Spanish legation, and
at the same time submitted most
graciously to the inspection of the throng,
which by this time had lined the sidewalk out
| to the step where her carriage was waiting
As she drove off the gentlemen standing around
| with one accord raised their hats-one of the
prettiest tributes yet paid her royal hikhness in
| this city.
The princess wore to church comfortable
walking dress. The skirt. cleared the
ground and was made of soft gray wool
with tiny white polka dots. A navy
blue silk blouse was belted in with blue
moire ribbon with bows and streamers on the
left side. She wore blue sailor hat with red
band and carried a red umbrella with fancy
knob handle.
The party went driving for time in the
morning and again in the afternoon. At 5
O'Clock Secretary Gresham took the princess
and her husband out to the Soldiers Home.
but they were back before the shower At night
| the royal party enjoyed what the Spanish min

Her Movements Today.
This morning the royal party was up betimes
and as usual broke their fast by having choco-
late or coffee aud rolls served in their apart
ments.
There were a few callers before $50, but no
one was admitted except Commander Davis.
The florist went In and arranged fresh posies
in all the parlors and rooms of
the first suite and the clock winder made tour

behaving themselves properly in the midst
| OF such royal doings. Conversation
between the hotel servants and those Of the
princess suite is conducted entirely by panto-
mime. 1t is rather slow, but is an interesting
performance, and few mistakes are made.
There are two policemen stationed at the
hotel door now all the time. Sometimes this
body guard is reinforced by detail

policemen forsake the H street entrance and
make the Vermont avenue steps formidable by

The princess intended to 60 sightseeing this
morning, but change was made in the pro-
gram. Instead OF the fatigue of seeing sights,
she endured another kind of fatigue-looking at
camera. She was photographed.
GETS HER PICTURE TAKEN.
The little band of the curious who we're wait
ing to see her come out when her carriage
dashed up at 10 o'clock, were rewarded by hav-
ing vision OF royalty in full
dress. She ran quickly down the
| steps and was in the carriage before the crowd
| had collected its thoughts for a second glance
She looked like a streak of sunlight. Her
golden hair aud the jewels in it flashed in the
sun like dewdrops. The gown ball toilet. was
| Of very light greenish yellow gauze The skirt
| had two deep hounces Of lace headed by band
| of pink roses. The low-necked bodices was a
dream Of lace and soft gauze and diamond
crescents ornamented the corsage.
Only Commander Davis and the marchioness
accompanied the princess on this expedition.
| While they were away Prince Antoine and
Senior Javer went ont for stroll
up and down street, looking in the windows.
| Prince Antoine wore blue band on his white
straw hat and an easy fitting suit of light gray
cloth.
