WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Princess
EulaIie had her photograph taken this
morning. and she was delighted with
the experience, as old as it has grown
to her. After her morning chocolate
and roll, the lnfanta attired herself in a
wonderful evening gown of fluffy
stuff, the neck cut V-shape. She wore
no hat. About her shoulders was thrown
wide scarf of China silk, reminiscent
of the rainbow, so many and so dell
cately shaded were its colors. Com
mander Davis and the MarchiOnesS of
Arco-Hermosa accompanied the infanta
to the photographers gallery, in
closed carriage, while Prince Antoine
and the Duke of Tomames went walk
ing. Commander Davis did not wear
his uniform. The prince wore light
spring suit with russell shoes and straw
hat. The infanta reached the photograph
er's shortly after 10 o'clock. and spent
nearly an hour there. Several negatives
were taken, and the princess took the
liyelieSt interest in the process. On
their return to the Arlington, the royal
party had breakfast, and spent a quiet
hour until l o'clock. when they were
driven to the treasury department. Sec
retary Carlisle received them, and acted
as escort
Through the Money Vaults.
The visit of the infanta to the treas
ury department was intended to be
mere tour Of inspection without any
publicity. The hour of her arrival at
the department was not made known
through the newspapers, and 1t was
thus hoped to avoid any crowd and
allow the royal visitor to pass through
the buildings as quietly as possible.
Her visit, however, resulted in an ova-
ton. Secretary Carlisle received the
party in his office, and offering the prln-
cess his arm, led the party to the office
of Assistant Treasurer Meline. who
acted as escort through the money
vaults, where so many millions Of gold
and silver bonds are stored. The news
of the princess arrival had spread so
that the corridor about Mr.. Meline's
office door was filed with men and
women. The women were more stren-
uouS in their efforts to see her royal
highness. They fairly climbed over the
men in trying to reach the grated doors.
1t was the infanta'S first experience
with a crowd Of American women, and
she enjoyed it. a look OF surprise
passed over Eulalie's face at first, and
then, impulsively, she walked over to
the grating, and nodding her head
briskly and with her face wreathed
in smiles talked in English to
Her American Admirers.
After the infanta had seen all that
was to oe seen she came out into the
corridor again on the way to the car
riage, leaning on sthe arm of Secretary
Carlisle. ''Good-by; good-by," cried
the infanta to the women as she passed
through their ranks. ''Good-by; thank
YOU" she cried again, smiling, while
even the stern face of Mr.. Carlisle re-
laxed. The prince and the others inthe
party were laughing heartily, and as
they entered the carriages they caught
the echo of more flattering remarks
about the beauty and gracefulneSS OF
the princess.
From the treasury department the
party was driven to the Washington
monument. The elevator had been
held for some time, and it was waiting

trip to the top, sometime being spent In
enjoying the view, the visitors descend
ed and were driven to the capitol. Some
time was spent in the building, and the
infanta went back to the Arlington.
Luncheon was followed by drive about
the city.
This evening the infanta was given

was arranged by Secretary Herbert.
