Arlington. Promptly at II o'clack the
door opened and the royal party pro-
ceede6 10 the carriages. There was no
demonstration and tbs Princess sub
mitted to the gaze Of the curious crowd
good naturedly.
The Prince was the first to emerge
from the doorway and got into the car
riage unassisted, the Spanish Minister
accompanying him. The Minister
stepped aside to permit the Princess,
who was on the arm OF Commander
Davis, to enter the carriage. The Min
lister and Commander entered the car
riage. In the second carriage rode the
Marchoness, the Duke and Senor Don
Pedro. The Princess was
SIMPLY BUT RICHLY ATTIRED.
AS her carriage came to standstill
under the broad high portico, the
three score or more OF people gathered
there, pressed closely together, to
catch sight of the Princess. Com
mander Davis alighted first, followed
by the Spanish Minister and Prince
Antoine. The Prince assisted the
Princess to alight, and at the sugges-
tion of Commander Davis in answer to
an inquiry from the Infanta, offered
her his arm and escorted her through
the main doorway into the corridor OF
the private part OF the mansion. The
Duke, the Marchioness and the private
secretary to the Princess followed.
The scene in the blue room, where all
receptions are held, was made more
effective by the soft light which pervsd-
ed the apartment, and the general
effect was assisted by the appearance OF
the long, warm-carpeted corridor at the
end Of which the open doors Of the con-
servatory showed vista OF bright col
ored roses and soft green plants. The
corridor and blue room had been deco
rated tastefully, although not lavishly.
In the blue room the President and
Mrs. Cleveland stood ready TO receive
their royal visitors. Senor Muragua,
the Spanish Minister, presented the In
fanta and Prince Antoine, while Com
mander Davis, the Duke OF Tamanes,
the Marchioness Of Hennosa and Senor
Don Tovar withdrew to the adjoining
room. The greetings between those in
the blue room were very pleasant and
had hardly a tinge OF formality about
them. They were over in minute or
two and then the others were summon
ed and presented in turn by Senor
Muragua. Mrs. Cleveland and the In
fanta
CHATTED BRIsKLY IN ENGLISH
during part of the brief visit, while at
times the conversation was general.
At Is minutes past II o'clock the In
fanta made her adieus, followed by the
others. As she walked across the lobby
a woman in the crowd waved her hand
kerchief and cried out in Spanish,
"GreetiDg to the Infanta OF Spain"
The Princess looked pleased, and the
other members of the party smiled. A
murmur of admiration went up from
the crown at the briliaDcy Of the uni
form worn by Prince Antoine. 1t was
that Of Colonel Of Spanish Hussars,
and with the orders on his breast. his
vanished boots, and the short coat OF
white doe-skiu trimmed gold and ermine
sleeve, hanging loose, the Prince was
an imposing feature. The other men ia
the party were also brilliantly costumed,
but the naval uniform OF Commander
Davis, as bright and snowy as IL may
look in a purely American assemblage,
was thrown completely in the shade By
the costumes of the Duke, the Minister
and the Private Secretary. The Duke
wore much gold braid, and q sash Of
watered silk from which depended many
insignia of royalty.
A slight pause occurred on the porti-
co. and then there was general uncov-
ering of heads as the Princess entered
her carriage and was whisked away to
the Arlington. The Infanta

with her reception and her surround
