THE SOCIAL WORLD
Rather Quiet, Save for Outdoor
Pleasures
HINTS FOR JUNE WEDDING DAYS
Recent Hospitalities Here and
Elsewhere.
P E r S O n Al NOTE S

1t is only occasionally now one day is
distinguished from another by formal in
vitations. There is plenty going on within
doors and in the open, but not of a nature
to require any deep-laid plans in advance
The present week was given up to partici-
patton in the ceremonies at Baltimore in
Cardinal Martnelli's honor. and the var
ious functions arranged before and since
for him at home, and discussions of more
or less exciting character as the stock mar
ket went up and down. new sensation
should occur now to follow these topics,
and in the natural sequence of events prob
ably will. Interest in things matrimonial is
revived by the reception of and expecta-
ton Of other wedding cards for both Nav
and June dates, the dislike for this month
having passed with many other notions of
the old century. The usual number of June
weddings may be safely anticipated. GER
tainly in the way of gifts. One does not
wait nowadays for the cards when the
day Is fixed. as presents make most inter-
esting exhibits of the regard of ones ac-
quaintances. Miss Martha Hichborn, as
might have been expected by one who has
so many friends, has already very large
collection of beautiful articles. Mrs Blaine
has given her future daughter a superb
silver service. which will help adorn the
home Of the couple in New York next
winter.
Count Colacicchi, the papal guard, con-
templates as extended tour of sightseeing
in this country as will be possible for the
length of his stay. He sails for home early
in July, and will go west AS far as Chicago
as well as take a glimpse of summer life
at Newport and Bar Harbor during the in
tervai. Those who have met him socially
have become great admirers of the titled
young soldier and lawyer who is both
handsome. well educated and well bred
His knowledge of English naturally has
contributed very greatly to his enjoyment
OF the many social courtesies of which he
has been the recipient the present week
and which began last Sunday night by the
dinner party given by Mr.. and Mrs. james
F. Barbour. Next week Count Colacicchi
is expected to spend IA few days with Rev.
Angelo Caruso Of the Italian church, an
associate in collegiate days in Rome
Mr. Margerie, the newly appointed first
secretary of the French embassy and his
wife. are expected to land in New York
today.
The remains of Mrs. Reynolds, mother of

illness may be haStened

Prince and Princess Khevenhuler, who
nave been in Mexico representing the En-
peror of Austria at the consecration of the
memorial chapel at Queretaro, erected to
mark the spot where Emperor Maximilian
was shot in 1867. have sailed for Europe.
The honors thus paid the illfated monarch
are considered as the prelude to the resump-
tiOn Of diplomatic relations between Austria
and Mexico. as the republic not only gave
the site of the chapel, but was officially rep
resented at the ceremony. Prince Kheven-
huller. who is hereditary grand master OF
the court of Austria, a Knight of the Golden
Fleece and one of the principal magnates
of the dual empire, was the most intimate
friend and companion of Macmillan. and 1t
was on this account that Emperor Francis
Joseph selected him to represent the Aus
trian imperial family at the conservation
ceremonies at Queretaro. The closing of
this international incident Is specially well
come at this capital, where embarrassing
situations apt to continually occur be-
tween representatives of countries which
have not cordial relations. 1t brings about
most annoying complication for those who
WOulu entertain DOtn peTSOndSeS ana tHeH
SympathiZers at the same time. and have
not, as in many well-known instances the
past two or three years, any knowledge or
historical reasons why it was impossible.
