The Duchess OF Veragua has been
dined and feted and entertained in al
social WAYS ever since ncr arrival. and
the festivities seem likely 10 continue
during the ten days of her stay.
Like the patron Of the man from
whom her husband is descended, the
Duchess has a great fancy for every
thing in the line of discovery or eNpio-
ration. Out Of her own private purse
she has. like Queen Isabella, furnished
money for many undertakings Likely to
benefit Spain, and she has granted money
to unknown inventors when II seemed TO
her that thdr inventions might be the
thing which the world would need next.
The Duchess Ian ghingly gays that she
suppcses some day she VIII sell her
Jewels TO start some one on the road
Of discovery just as Queen Isabella did
four hundred years ago; and. she adds,
that II the day arrives for her to do so
she viii start another party for the Arc
tic regions. believing that there is much
valuable and undiscovered country yet

Chicago society has fairly gone wild
over the Duchess. She is a very small
woman, very dark, and with the most
beautiful eyes in Spain, according to
the records land rotations" Of the House
Of Veragua. Unfortunately. she speaks
only Spanish, and although she has
been much entertained, she can converse
only with those who have a knowledge

Mrs, Langworthy, II was appalled, at
