WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The Infanta
EuIalie spent her first Sunday in the
United States in the retirement of her
hotel, excepting brief walk, attend
ance upon church and ride in the
afternoon. She arose early, and at $50
o'clock, accompanied by her husband,
Prince Antoine, and a lady-in- waiting,
issued forth from the old Sumner man
sion, now part of the Hotel Airing
ton, and crossed the street to Lafayette
park and took a short stroll about The
walks, admiring the trees and shrub
berry. The party was particularly in
terested in the mansion of the late Gen.
Beale, one of the historic hnnseS on the
square, and scrutiniZed it closely They
were Joined by Commander Davis, who
had previously called at the infanta'S
apartments. They proceeded to st.
Matthew's Catholic church, block
away, and attended mass 1t had been
stated that the infanta would attend II
O'Clock services, and in consequence
there were only the usual number OF
early church-gOerS present. The con-
trast between this and the infantas S
last attendance at church was very
marked. A week ago today she wor-
SHIPPED in Havana, and grand display
was made i'll honor of the presence of a
royal parsonage. The infanta then was
met at the entrance of the church by
the priest, sprinkled with holy water,
given the cross to kiss, a special pew
was reserved, and all hOnorS due her
rank were shown her. 1t seemed that
today she desired to observe all the
simplicity possible. Without any pre-
arranged plans she entered the church
quietly, attracted no more attention
than the ordinary church-goer, and sat
in the body of the church among the
other worshipers.
The service was the usual early
morning low mass and instructions,
conducted by Rev. Father Kervick.
But few i'll the congregation recogni Zed
the infanta and party, and their exit
created but little excitement.
After the services the party, under
the escort Of Commander Davis, took a
carriage and were driven to the Wash
Ington monument, through the agricult-
ural and Smithsonian grounds. and
then returned to the hotel, where
breakfast was served at II O'Clock. Dur
ing the early afternoon hours, the in

Pauneefote, the British ambassador; n.

Korean minister, and others in official
and social life.
AT 5 O'Clock Secretary Gresham drove
the infanta and her husband to thu
soldiers home. Returning they were
caught in a heavy shower. but the
landau was closed and they suffered no
Inconvenience,
Tonight the infanta, Prince Antoine,
