NELLIE GRANTS CAKE.
Nellie Grant is the gay butterfly she al

When call there 1 find many old beaux
and young ones, too. Strange that she does
not marry one OF them. They are all look
ing with eager eyes at her, eyes that say
they would give worlds OF treasure if they
might have her at home to dispense hos
pitalities with such charming grace all the
time.
"At Nellie Grants there Is always
pretty girl and a baby. The pretty girl
Is daughter or Diece-and she has many
OF the latter upon whom to draw. And
the baby is borrowed one. Nellie Grant
has way Of picking up the neighbor's baby
from the side walk, or in her drives, and
taking it home for an hour.

New Year week calls. there is always cake

there is always pretty story attached.
The cake is to be danced under and cut

of colored cake, where bit of red or choco-
late coloring is dropped in, and the one
who gets it. But that leads on into n
game story.

Clothing, music lessons, railroad tickets
everything that the struggling can want
come from her. She gives these things in
cideDtally as they are asked for. 1t takes
up none of her time. 1t is done by a word
TO her secretary or companion or maid.
A word from the princess carries almost a
fortune to those who want.
After her regular charities are counted
come the beDefactions which she does by
her own luxuries. No young woman own
ing SO many equipages, employing so many
maids, presiding over so many sets of golf
links, and having at her call so many ken
: nels OF dogs, can help supporting many a
family in caring for them. This American
princess is allowed to pay literally for all
she gets, and to be in her employ is to be
assured of q comfortable support for life
and security for ones family afterwards.
To this there are many in snug homes
around New York who can testify.
The American princess is very fond Of
dogs. An artist, seeing her once with a
long legged hound smuggling by her side,
sketched her with the serious look upon
her face she commonly wears. Her wealth
is to her matter of course, but she feels
the responsibility of dispensing it, young
as she is.
FABULOUS LUXURIEs.
Fabulous stories are told of her private
luxuries. 1t is said she has four sets of
golf links for her favorite game wherever
she may be. In London, at Newport
down at the country place on Long Island
or up the Hudson. Her kennels OF dogs
and packs Of hounds are dwelt upon by those
who see her. If she were to let loose her
dogs OF war, according to those who have
seen her with her animals she could stand
in a field four miles square and have
hounds gathered around her until they
faded off in the distance like toy dogs, SO
many are her kennels.
Her horses and equippages are wonder
fngly described in the same way, but TO
all is added thefact that men have constant
employment caring for them. Though the
princess may not use them for seasons, they
are never rented orloaned to throw any one
out OF work.

The latest rumor is that this American
princess is engaged to be married. There
is splend i'd foundation for the story.
Almost safe to say that it is true. But,
like the Princess Maude OF Wales, this
American princess is protected from en-
barrassment until the news is ready for the
world, and then all will rejoice that the most
favored girl of the nation is going to take
q step which means the consuIss,lation of
all things for a princess.

Ask any girl who has had a successful
winter in Washington and she will vouch
for the fondness the diplomatic bachelor
has for Carrying On a correspondence. Why
the citizens Of the capital should yearn to
write innumerable friendly letters not the
asiutcst girl can find out. whereas the
Washingtonian preference for taking an
admired maiden on long walks, particu-
larry of a Sunday afternoon, is quite COM
prchensible.
