A BIT OF SOCIAL GOSSIP.
The social fortunes of the Horstmanns
are on the wane, and it will surprise no
body if they give up their house in Wash
ington and seek more congenial sur
roundings abroad. Since they were in
troduced to diplomatic circles several
wears ago by Madam Guzman. wife OF q
former Minister from one OF the South
American Republics, their wealth, social
tact and polished manners have won
for them hand-and- glove intimacy with
all the embassies except the British No"
the fact that they have learned too much
in Paris about the career of the
wife of the present Austrian MN
lister to the United States. and failed
ia keep their information to themselves,
has spoiled everything, for Madam Hen
gelmliler is a woman of high spirit and
combative disposition. When Mrs. Horst
mann sent by message a note asking her
and the Minister to dine with the HORST
MAINS on the evening of the amateur
theatricals. few weeks ago. she took
the invitation and tore it into shreds at
this the Horstmanns were indignant, ana
one of their daughters was selected 10

wrote. however. not to the Austrian, but
to the Russian Ambassadors grandnlece,
Mile Cassini. She accused her of having
poisoned Madam Hengelmuller's mind
against the Hortsmanns. She reminded
her of how extremely nice the Horst
MAINS had always been to her. and she
hatlv told her that most of the social
success she had achieved was due to the
Horstmanns' friendship and patronage
In short. it was as fiery a letter as a
girl could write. and it nightly astound-
! ed Mile. Cassini.
