somcst being by General and Mrs. Draper, |
VINO nave out recently returned to Lnclr /
Washington residence, Sixteenth and X
streets. Several luncheons, all more or |
less formal affairs, will be given, and at |
least wo theutrT par.ies, each 20 De loi- |
lowed by supper.
Miss Cana, daughter of the Chilean !
minister, and Miss Wilson, daughter of |
the POSTMASTER ueneral, Will Dotn be pre- |
sented on Thursday afternoon. Each |
will be given tea at the family resi- |
dence, and number of the seasons |
bellies and buds Will be in attendance.
Both these young Indies are among the |
prettiest of the seasons buds. Miss VIII |
son is already we'll known to many OF her /
having been present at the Wednesday, |
afternoon receptions at the residence Of |
the Postmaster General last season, where
She proved herself a valuable assistant TO
her IN other. She is an exceedingly clever
and agreeable girl, with an exquisite com
pieHlon, ana great quantity OF real golden
red hair.
Miss uana is OF pure blonde type, in spite
OF her Spanish blood, and has never been
seen or heard outside OF schoolroOm or
nursery until the present season.
She mas spent the last three years in the
United States. and also accompanied her
parents ten years ago when Senor Cana
served as minister here. She has been edu-
Gated entirely at home with goyerness and
masters, and is as accomplished as she IL
charming and pretty. She speaks English
with the least possible accent, ana of course
French and Spanish. She Will be a dis
tinct acquisition TO tine younger element in
the diplomatic corps, andis undoubtedly one
of the coming bellies.
The Chilean legation Is on X street, op-
poslte FRANKLIN Park, ana adJolns the well
known residence OF Senator Sherman.

buds.
1t is announced that Prince Raoul Wrede,
counsellor of the Austrian legation, is
shortly to be made minister from his coun-
try to the Argentine Republic. While this
change would be i'll the order Of promotion
ii would be a matter OF general regret mere,
where the prince Is immensely popular, not
only in diplomatic circles but with every
one who has had the pleasure of his ac-
qualntance.
1t is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Riggs.
who recently leased their handsome home
! on Massachusetts avenue, to Mr.. Rice, OF
the Civil Service Commission, contemplate
leaving Washington and making their nCIIIe
abroad either in France or England. Mr..

from the management ur the Well-known
| banking house established by his father,
and having been educated abroad himSelf,ls

with his young SONS.

| that ua Y be looked for in the near future
| is the enga cement OF Miss Florence Board
| man. eldest daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. W.
| j. Roardman, to a prominent member OF
| the diplomatic corps, which II likely to
be follow ed by "a brilliant wedding at

at the Capital Mrs. Robinson is one of
| the best known hostesses from the Key
stone State, and has entertained continu-
ously since coming to Washington.
Tie eldest OF her five daughters was
| introduced in society at a very handsome
bali given by her parents at the Shoreham
| Just two years ago. Miss Helen, the
| second daughter, is very clever school
girl OF sixteen. 1t is a matter OF regret
| TO large circle of Washington friends
that the popular household Will be among

A change in diplomatic society that is a
matter OF much regret is the transfer to
Madrid of NJ. and Madame Gaytan dc
Ayala, late OF tue Spanish embassy, In
