of the gay doings in which the young cou-
pie has figured the last fortnight. A
charming dinner company met aboard Mr..
Henry Walters yacht. the Navada. last
night in honor of the Prince and Miss
Grant. The yacht was brilliant with cleo

twenty days leave of absence to go to
Chicago for the cornerstone laying of the
federal buildings, he will surely spend a
part of that extremely limited vaca ton in
this city. The Mexican embassy will natur-
ally, therefore take an important part in
the leading entertainments of the fall sea-
