society, which he greatly enjoyed. After

made ambassador in Paris; he was
shocked and panied by the change in the
city be had so much loved, bur he was dis
dainful of the Elysee Palace ana its occu-
pants. When NJ. Greyy was replaced by
President Carnot Count Hoyos showed
that poiteness and diplomatic reserve had
nothing to do with his GOODNESS. The
cause had been incompatibility of educa-
ton, and the Austrian ambassador was
the first who gave soiree in honor of the
new President. This soiree was one of
the most curious in the diplomatic history
of Partisan life.
Count Hoyos had four brothers. Two
are chamberlains of the Austrian En-
peror. while the third is mem Der of the
House of Lords and Chevalier of the
Golden Fleece. The fourth died in youth,
but sister married Prince Orsini. In
1877 Count HoyoS was married to Countess

Countess Dietrichstein, and whose sister
is Countess Kalnoky. The eldest son of
Count Hoyos was born in Washington.
Although educated in Paris Frederic is a
true Austrian, and like his compatriots he
shows great taste for music, especially the
violin. The three younger sons are with
their tutors. and the three daughters are
still mere children.
Count and Countess HoyoS are most
popular in French society, but they are
very fond of home and home life. Recently
they have built villa on the banks of
Lake Northersie in Carinthie. and there
they spend the summer. Countess HoyOs
is devoted mother. Last summer she was
obliged to place one of her sous under the
care of DR.. MetZger. and as she did not
wish to be separated from her child she ID
stalled herself at the AmStel Hotel, Am
sterdam. Each Saturday Count Hoyos
went from Paris to Amsterdam, and each
time he was accompanied by one OF the
children. so that in turn the mother saw
them all. ln charity the Countess HOyOs
is most active. She is at the head of the
Austrian Benevolent Society in Paris and
enters actively into all schemes for raising
money.
