Spanish minister accompanying him.
The minister stepped aside to permit
the princess, who was on the arm OF
Commander Davis, to enter the car
riage. The minister and commander
entered the same carriage. In the second
carriage rode the warehouses. the
Duke and Senor Don Pedro. The prin-
cess was simply attired. She wore
princess dress of gray bengallne, Dor
dered around the train with gray oStrlch
feathers. A pink satin girdle completed
the toilet. Her bonnet was small
affair of light flowers, with pink satin
ribbons tied under the chin, with short
white net veil over her face. In her
hand she carried beautiful parasol or
chiffon and lace.
AS her carriage came to Standstlll
under the broad, high portico, the three
score or more of people gathered there
pressed closer together to catch sight
of the princess. Commander Davis
alighted 6rst, followed by the Spanish
minister and Prince Antoine. The
prince assisted the princess to alight,
and at the suggestion of Commander
Davis, in answer to an inquiry from the
| infanta, offered her his arm and escort
ed her through the main doorway into
the corridor of the private. part OF the
mansion. The duke, the marchloness
and the private secretary to the princess
followed.

In the blue room the president and
Mrs. Cleveland stood ready to receive
their royal visitors. Senor Murauga.

drew to the adjoining red room. The
greetings between those in the blue
room were very pleasant and had hardly
tinge of formality about them. They
were over in minute or two. and then
the others were summoned and pre-
sented in turn By Senor Murauga. Mrs.
Cleveland and the infanta chatted
brskly in English during part of the
brief visit, while at times the conversa-
tion was general. At 11:15 the infanta
made her adieu, followed by the others.
AS she walked across the lobby woman
in the crowd waved her handkerchief
and called out in Spanish, "Greeting to
the infanta of Spain" The princess
looked pleased, the other members OF
the party smiled.
A murmur of admiration went up
from the crowd at the Drllliancy Of the
uniform worn by Prince Antoine. 1t
was that of colonel of Spanish hus-
sars, and. with the orders on his breast,
his vanished boots, and the short coat
of white doeskin, trimmed in gold and
ermine, one sleeve hanging loose, the
prince was an imposing figure. The
other men in the party were also

but the naval uniform Of Commander
Davis, as bright and snowy as it may
look in purely American assemoiage.
was thrown completely in the shade by
the costumes of the duke, the minister
aud the private secretary. The duke
wore much gold braid and sash of
Watered silk, from which depended many
insignias of royalty. All the men IN
the party. with the exception OF the
prince, wore chapeaus or cooked mats.
Prince Antoine wore a huZZar helmet.
a slight pause occurred on the portIco.
and then there was general uncover
ing of heads as the princess entered her
carriage and was whisked away to the
Arlington. The infanta expressed her
self as delighted with her reception and
her surroundings. and declared she felt
as much at ease in the apartments she
occupied as 1t was possible Tor stran-
ger in a strange land.
Luncheon was hardly over before the
princess began to receive callers. The
first callers of the day. after the Spanish
minister, were Mr.. and Mrs. Curry,
between whom and the princess an In
innate acquaintance was formed when
Mr.. Curry was United States minister
at Madrid. 1t was generally believed
that the president would return the
call made upon him this morning, and
quite a crowd gathered about the build

when he came. In this, however, they
were disappointed. Promptly at 8
o'clock two carriages drove up,
