Grand-BeneEt for District VoIun-


For the first time in many moons the
illuminated sign of the Grand Opera
House blazed forth in all its glory last
night bringing information to the wary
of an entertainment within. The precise
nature of the performance. however. did
not concern moons SO much as stars
with few stripes for good measure. In
other words, the occasion was a benefit
rendered by the Columbia Opera and Dra-
matte Club for the enlargement of the
District Volunteer Relief Fund.
Local patriots turned out largely. and
the big theater was well filed. Whether
the house had come for the purpose of
being amused or of helping the brave bows
at the front. the number of arrivals seem
ed unlimited and a line that formed in
front of the box office window before the
doors were opened had not been broken
up TO the fall of the first curtain. The
performance offered varied forms of en-
tertalnment and the players, for the most
part, did remarkably well considering dir
ficulties.
The show began with presen :ation. %

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

At Queen Victoria's own request Mrs
Harriet Lane Johnston was presented TO
her majesty at Windsor Castle on Mon
day morning last. The audience was pri-
vate, and Mrs. Henry White, wife of the
first secretary OF the American embas-
sy, made the presentation. During the
interview the queen expressed a gracious
interest in Mrs. Johnstons visit to Eng
land. and in alluding to the war. hoped
that peace would soon be restored. Her
majesty also referred feelingIy to the
cordial reception accorded the Prince of
Wales on his first visit to Washington
when Mrs Johnston, al that time Miss
Lane. did the honors of the Executive
Mansion for her uncle, President Buch-
anan
Mrs. Johnston naturally appreciated
the exceptional honor conferred upon her
and was pleased to again meet the queen
TO whom she was formally presented years
ago when Mr.. Buchanan was the Amer
lean minister to the Court of st. James
This signal compliment is being con-
strued In court circles as a demons;ra-
tion on the queens part of her friendh-
ness towards the United States. which.
il is understood was suggested by the
Prince of Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also
received Mrs. Johnston before her de-
parture for London.
The queens reference to the visit Of the
prince recalls the fact that at that way
back time-it was just before the Civil
War-Mrs Johnston was famous at home
and abroad as lovely Harriet Lane
Amateur photography and newspaper
cuts were undiscovered powers in those
days. so that the beauty of the first lady
in the land was not as familiar to the
world and his wife as are the charms of
the society maids of today. For all that.
however there were few residents of the
capital who did not know, either by see
ing or at second hand that the Presi-
dents niece had chestnut curls that
flashed gold in the sunlight. glorious dark
eyes and a complexion of milk and car
nations. She was gracefully tall and
slender and one of her gIriisn whins in
dress, despite the decollete fashion Of the
time, was nearly always TO wear bodices
cut high. Even at the English court she
was noted for her beauty. and the social
chroniclers of those times ceclared that il
was not the fault of a certain stately
British :eer that she returned to this
country Miss Lane.
The Prince of Wales was a slender
youth in those days, shy almost to awk-
wardness, and apparently hOpelessly ad-
dicted to blushing. Oh, the changes of
time,
He went home honestly delighted, and
has kept the memory of our hospitality 50
green in his heart all these years that
nowadays he never fails TO say 10 the
Americans he meets that his visit TO this
country is one of the pleasantest recol-
lections Of his youth.
