From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, May 4.-The all-absorbing
question in society to-day is who shall
manage the proposed ball to the Infanta
Eulalie and how is she to be received and
entertained. AS Mrs Paran Stevens
graphically put it TO a reporter to-day:
This, the first royal lady we have had
here, is coming as the guest, by special
invitation, of our great government. She
will 90 to Washington and see the Off
Gals of the administration. What will
She do there, shake hands3"
Mrs. Stevens said she herself wouldnot
take the initiative in a plan to tittingly
entertain SPANS princess, but that She
had been visited and earnestly requested
to aid by Senior Arturo Cuyas. who is
chairman of the committee of arrange
ments of the Circle Colon Cervantes
ScnOr Cuyas also appealed TO her in the
name of the Spanish Club and generally
of the Spanish contingent of New YOrk's
residents.
WANT MEN TO HELP.
Mrs. Stevens lent willing ear to the
men of Spain who were anxious that their
native lands first royal visitor to thenew
world should be handsomely treated. She
called in Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger and
Mrs. Edmund L. Baylies, a council was
held and as result a ball was elected the
thing. The scheme viii be a semi-public
function, There are a lot of business de
tails about big ball that make it almost
an absolute necessity that the men should
lend hand. Better still is it to have
head a social general of experience. The
ladies know this, and are watching and
hoping, but no social Moses has vet an
pcared to lead them out of the Wilderness
Among the possibilities regarded with
favor was the securing of Harry lie
Grand Cannon, Col Jay, Col Cruger, Gen.
James Nj. Vamum, Oakley Rhinelander.
Peter Marie and others. McAllister
seems to have been thOughtlessly passed
by.
But McAllister's mind has been busy
with the problem of what to do with
Eulalic, though. He mfolded schemes at
great length. He is, first of all in favor
of the affair being managed by Mayor Gil
roy, as head of the municipal govern
ment. There are two reasons for that,
he says. One Is that the mayor and his
100 made a shining success with the ball
to the duke; the other is that the city
has money.
M'ALLIsTER's BRILLIANT IDEAS
"a fete champetre's the thing. 1t will
he too hot right away now after this
rainy weather for a ball. 80 said Mn Nc
Allister. Il would suggest this way:
Hire the Plymouth, start up the Hudson
about II o'clock of a Monday. or in case
of rain the first me day thereafter. and
go to West Point with the governments
permission and by its invitation. Then a
regular American supper on the boat
coming back. That would all be character
istically American, and just what the
princess would most appreciate
Another plan would be to go TO Je-
rome park. Trains run right to club
house, and there have dance on the ball
room. OF course, the caterers would
have to take everything from the city.
Trouble with ball is the supper and
wine. Only way is for people to pay for
their wine as they drink it. Then they
won get drunk People won't get drunk
on their own wine. Only way you can
keep from having riot"
