ten letter to Admiral Dewey apollo
giving for the conduct of the German

Admiral Dewey in my life"
An Explanation.
Washington, Feb. 17.-The press
Saturday received from authentic
sources a statement regarding he re-
port that Prince Henry had written
a letter of apology to Admiral Dewey.
The information which follows was
not received from Admiral Dewey
himself but from an intimate friend
of his and can be absolutely vouched
for:
The admira, has recently received a
letter from member of the United
States embassy at Berlin, in which the
writer gave resume of converse
ton he had had with Prince Henry of
Prussia at the dinner given the lat
ter by Ambassador White prior to the
princes departure for America.
In this conversation the prince, re-
ferring to his having hoped TO return
from the east via San Francisco after
his service in the China squadron. but
having been obliged to hasten home via
Suez on account of his mothers ILL
ness, in his usual candid manner and
agreeing with remark that the pres
ent was much more opportunte time
for his visit, said:
"I knowtyou Americans feels very sore
about affairs in the east and do not blame
YOU I myself made mistake which see
is now being exploited by the English press
to create a prejudice. When at Hong Kong,
at dinner on the Deutschland (the princes
flagship in the easD Commodore Dewey
was present and was the senior officer:
there were two Russians. some English
and officers of other nationalties which
l cannot now recall when proposed the
health Of first the car of Russia, then
others. and last of all that of the president
OF the United States. Dewey was offended,
as / learned the next day, and realized
had made a great mistake. Immediately
went on board the Olympia and saw Dewey,
who accepted my apology most graciously."
The prince added that he was well
aware that mistakes had been made ON
their part, but that his relations with
Admiral Dewey had always been of
the most agreeable and pleasant char
acter. He sent his highest regards to
the admiral and expressed his sincere
hope of seeing him during his visit to
America.
Ready to Receive the Prince.

no such review. There couldn't be, and
am at loss to understand how such an
IDEA could become widespread"

PLAN EARLY VACATIONS.
Mrs. Roosevelt and others of the Cab
met Ladies' Arranging for Early
O from Washington.

Society gossips are wondering
whether the social season will not
close entirely within a short time. Mrs.
Roosevelt is apparently paying her
last social obligations Before next fall.
Her health is not Particularly good
just now, although there is no cause
for alarm. Size expects to go to Oyster
Bay with her children early in June
and probably win come back to the
white house the latter part of Septem-
Der.
The president and Mrs. Roosevelt
seem particularly anxious TO be in the
white house during the month of Octo-
Der. and will arrange their summer
vacation with that plan in view.
Several other well known society
leaders are said to be also contemplate
ing early vacations this year. Among
these are Mrs. Depew, Mrs. Corbin and
Baroness Moncheur, all of whom
are expected to be back in their own
homes some time next fall.
There is special interest in the do
ings of these four because they have
participated ina gay social season and
it is deemed fortunate that their re.
tirement should be during the summer
rather than during the winter, as il is
expected that the presidents wife and
the others will be sufficiently rested by
next winter to take up their arduous
social duties once more, if domestic re-
sponsibilities do not prove tor burden
some.

same Royal Proposals which Were

Many people r possessed Of the
idea that, as royal marriages have
generally to be arranged as affairs
of state, the prospective bridegroom
has no occasion TO WOO his bride as
the acreage man would do. This,
however, is a totally erroneous idea,
as will be found on reading the fol-
lowing authentic accounts, from Lon
don Tit-Bits, Of how and where some
royalties proposed to those who ulti-
mately became their wives.
1t was at Rosenberg, the palace Of
the Danish royal family, that King
Edward VII. proposed to and was ac-
cepted by our gracious queen. His
maiesty-then, Of course, prince Of
Wales-frst saw his wife in the
cathedral of a continental town, and
was so impressed with her beauty
that he determined to secure an in
PRODUCTION on learning who the prin-
cess was. The result of that intro
duction was that a short time after
wards the prince went over to Dem
mark and made a formal claim for
the hand of the princess.
A charming story is that told re-
~garding the am in which the late
Emperor Frederick of Germany, then
crown prince, proposed to the prin-
cess royal (the late Empress Fred
erick). The two became separated
from the rest of a royal party, who
were taking a walk over q Scotch
moor in the vicinity of Balmoral.
Suddenly the crown prince spied a bit
of white heather, and picking it up
gave it to the young girl beside him
for the princess was barely IS
years of age at the time. She knew,

enough for her companion to hear.
During the remainder of their lives
Balmoral always had great attrac-
tions for the emperor and empress.
White Lodge, Richmond park, was
the place where our present prince
of Wales wooed and won the heart
of Princess May. The prince went on
a visit for a few weeks to his sister,
the duchess of Fife, who lived at
Sheen house, nea the park gates.
Every day his royal highness could
be seen strolling down Sheen lane,
leading to White Lodge, and it was
in the gardens round that mansion
that he put the all-important ques-
ton.
V In describing how the marquis of
Lorne, now, of course, the duke of
Argyll, proposed to Princess Louise,
one cannot do better than quote the
record, made of the event by Queen
Victoria in her Leaves from the
Journal of a Life in the Highlands"
The queen wrote:
This was an ~eventful day. Our
lear Louise became engaged to Lord
Lorne. The event took place during
a walk from the Glassalt Shiel TO
Loeb Dhu. We got home by seven.
Louise, who returned some time aft
er, told me that Lorne had spoken of
his devotion to her and proposed to
her, and hat she had accepted him,
knowing that l should approve"
1t was at the same palace, i. e.,
Rosenberg, the seat of the Danish
royal family, where our king pro-
posed to the daughter of the sea
kings" that the present ear asked
Princess Alix of Hesse in 1894 to be
his wife. He had made up his mind
long before hat if he married it
would be to whom he pleased rather
than one commended to him by his
counsellors for state reasons. His
choice fell upon Princess Alix, and "a
party was arranged at Rosenberg to
allow Nicholas to meet this royal
lady. Accounts differ regarding the
"a lal spot where the proposal took
pl.-se. Some say the czar proposed
