Japan, and Count Frederick Hoyos. at

the footsteps of his father, who was the
Netherlands envoy here, 1916. he will
marry an American girl. Baron Covers 5
mother was Miss Katherine Wright, daugh-
ter OF former Senator Wright, of New Jer-

But the most picturesque bachelor-diplo-
mat of title accredited here is the Viscount
Charles de Chambrun, third secretary of
the French embassy. No American girl
need suffer repatriation in the hearts OF
her countrymen by becoming the Vcom-
Jesse de Chambrun. NJ lie Vicomte is the
great-grandson Of General Lafayette and
the ranking representative of the Lafayette
family.
General Isaac Kahn, the Persian envoy,
was said to have left harem stocked with
twelve wives when he was accredited here,
but this rumor he emphatically denied and
announced his status as that of bachelor.
However, there was no serious necessity
for the gorgeous generals denial, as under
the laws of his country-there would be no
objection to his taking his thirteenth
spouse. although some superstitious Amer
lean lady might object to her numerical
rank Chekfb Bey, the Turkish envoy is a
Mohammedan, and, therefore, an advocate
of polygamy. But he announced himself to
be a widower when he came here. His
mother, who keeps house for him, is kept

see her face. There is a chance for
an American lady to become Lady Chen

grave is lined with hot stones; these in
turn are covered with fragrant leaves, the
pig is placed on its bed. more leaves are
sprinkled over it. then another layer OF hot
stones, and finally earth is thrown on.
There it bakes and sizzles until the time
has arrived for service at table. when it is
borne, juicy and brown, to become a GEN.

good form to tear the pig to pieces with the
fingers, but at luaus of the present the
knife and fork are brought into play.

and replied that a popular subscription for
that purpose was being raised in the

conspired 10 prevent a revolution. She, a
pretty girl, had overheard of a plot to re-
store Liliuokalani TO the throne. The con-
spirators had agreed TO make a dash on
the palace on a certain evening and the
signal was TO be the first strains of ''Ha-
