tai noblemen to pay a flying visit to
New York and Washington for few
weeks during the height of the season.
The visit of Count Hochberg last week
was the occasion Of several rather in
formal and impromptu dinners in his
honor, as his coming was unheralded
and known to only few of his in
times in the diplomatic corps. Count
Hochberg Is a younger brother of
Prince Henry Of Pless, who married
Miss Daisy Cornwallis-West, one of the
most noted beauties of London and
petted favorite in the kings set" It
was Prince Henry Pless who came
over last year to this country to at
tend the opening Of the New York
Chamber Of Commerce on behalf OF
the kaiser. Count Hochbergs father.

man to Emperor William. This is not

stay at Newport during horse-show
week, when he was much lionized.
Another titled notable who is ex-
pected to arrive shortly In Washing
ton, as the house guest of Ambassador
and Lady Durand, is the Duchess Of
beauties and philanthropists. Her
Grace, Mary, Duchess of Sutherland, is
daughter of the dowager Countess
Of Rosslyn, and a sister Of the Earl OF
Rosslyn, who has become notorious for
his eccentricities and penchant for
sessing the finest private theater in
Great Britain. The Duke OF Suther-
land is considered the wealthtest land
owner in England, and Is a prominent
figure in politics.
Mrs. Richardson Clover's fancy
dress ball for the associates of her
young daughters was generally regard
ed to have exceeded in beauty al the
! former occasions like It in the Glover
home. This view was strengthened
by the few grown-up friends Of the
hostess who have been at them from
the first, and who found the picture
more bewitchingly beautiful than ever
before. The decorations were UNI
usually effective even in the days of
the wonders of the electric lighting.
The hostess reproduced in her dining
room fairy orange grove, as the gold
en- fruit and it's white blossoms were
suspended from the ceiling and dotted
/ the walls from a mass OF greenery.
/ Electric sparks made wonderland

the drawing-room the tower window
was lined with green, fecked with
snow and a cutter lined with white fur
robes was the receptacle for paper
covered and ribbon-tied books and
toys, which were distributed to the
youthful guests before they went
i home.

The women Of Colombia are its one
redeeming feature. Altho they are
tied to faithless husbands, they re-
main good women. Their lives are
devoted to their children, and they
certainly deserve more happiness than
they receive. They are very proud
and altho their liege lords and mas
tiers do not walk in becoming way,
they conduct themselves as gentle
women should. The girls never let
slip a chance to get an American hus-
band, for they understand that the
men of the north will be more de-
voted to them and provide better for
them. They are SO eager to make
matches that will take them away

I know of one instance where an
American had called to see girl
several times. He had made no pro-
pOsals Of any sort, and, in fact, had
not referred to such subjects as love
or matrimony. But the girl did not
mind this oversight on his part. He
was going away to be gone about a
year, and she told him she was awful
ly sorry to have him go; that she
would think Of him every hour Of
every day; that she would dream Of
him every night; and that she would
not dance with a single man while
he was away. She said all this and
meant it, without his having made a
single advance to her. He was dis
mayed. He did not desire to hurt her
feelings and laughingly said, "All
right" The next day their engage
ment was announced, and he has not
finished his explanations yet.
Strained relations and rumors Of
war make no difference to these girls.
They are willing to become United
States subjects on short notice. and
the American young man had better
'look little OUT or he will find him

The Belle Of tho susquehanna.
In q pretty little village in the valley Of
the Susquehanna lived young lady who
was not only very beautiful. but was re-
garded by all her friends as the Pink Of
perfection.
AS might have been expected, admirers
came from all directions in Phlox, and
there was many Bleeding Heart in the
village on her account.
She was Of a cheerful disposition and
not inclined to indulge in the blues. yet
she sometimes became SO perplexed among
her many admirers that instead Of being
merry bell'' she might more properly
have been called ve-in-a-nnist.
Among these suitors was a Dusty Miller
whose product was known In every kitch-
en-. and who had accumulated much
wealth, but she said to her friends, Il do
not want to Marigold."
At last man from New York named
William Van Dyke came to the village
and was at once attracted by her charms.
He pressed his suit vigorously and assured
her that his devotion would never Flag.
She admired him personally, but was
uneasy about his business relations, for he
admitted to her that he bought and sold
Stocks and his assurance that there was
10 risk connected with the class which he
handled, failed to satisfy her.
But one morning as they were out driv-
ing along the banks of the beautiful Sus-
quehanna he told her that on account Of
his love for her. he had abandoned the
business to which she objected. On hear.
ing this she accepted him and called him
her Sweet William.
He said, 'You have cause me hitherto
many heart-ache, but now you are my
Heartsease."
He insisted that there be no more delay
but that they go home and tell her par.
ents, and right after dinner drive to the
minister. To this she agreed and they
were married at Four-o clock that after.
noon and took the next train for Wash.
ington.
So happy were they in their mutual love
that they both expressed the desire thai
they might thus happily Live-forever.

Mrs. John s. Ward announced this
week the engagement Of her grand
daughter, Miss Alice Ward, to Senior
Don Juan Riano, the charge d'affaires

Washington, Feb. 4.-The biblical
adage about the camel and the eye OF

can be amended to fit the case of the
mistress Of the White House. 1 Won
der If any wife or sister or daughter
Of the chief executive ever pleased the
Washington public. In looking over
some old records recently, found
some caustic criticisms of Dolly Mad1-
son, and Mrs. Roosevelt should feel
consoled. Such q disgruntled lot Of

@sentatives' wives, wives of men In So
ciety and out of 1t, widows and maid
ems with grievance! The receptions,
the musicals and the informal at
homes on Friday have caused trouble,
but this is such an old story that 1t
cannot bear, repetition. Some OF the
people have discovered that Mrs
I Roosevelt, not to mention the pres1-
dent and Miss Alice, is too fond Of en-
PERTAINING the diplomatic corps. They
never were so much in evidence at the
White House as this winter. These
people demand why the foreigners
should be asked to every presidential
function, when the officials of the
government receive but one or two a
winter. Mrs. Roosevelt is certainly
very gracious to the foreigners, but
she has a perfect right to be, If her
tastes run that way. She Is but fol-
lowing the fashion Of her cult, the cir
Gle she moves in, who would rather
have an ambassador to dine than the
president and the entire cabinet. The
cabinet women have a grievance be-
cause Of the growing intimacy be-
tween Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Knox.
They are devoted friends, and Mrs.
Knox receives five invitations to the
White House where her associates do
not get one. But, again, can not Mrs.
Roosevelt select a friend without
causing break in the harmonious re-
lation Of the government? She Is
showing herself utterly Indifferent to
these criticisms, and continues to in
vite Mrs. Knox and the diplomats
Z whenever she desires their company.
She cannot please Washington society
no matter how much she tries, so she
might as we'll have the comfort OF
pleasing herself.
Mrs.Draper, like the other millionaire
winter residents, is not making 6
record this season. Being Kentuck-
ian, she is Hospitality inclined. Mrs
Draper, however. had the bad for.

mistress Of the White House, althc
a most aniable woman, is r1ottone tc

New Years reception. She particu-
larly wished to be present, and she
even politely limited this desire in the
presidential company. Her disap-
pointment and chagrin were SO great
that she left Washington two days
before Jan. /, 1903. This year she
met with no greater success at the
New Years functions, altho such nom
official people as Mrs. Letter were
honored with the priced blue slip.
She will likely find diversion enough
at Madam Hengelmuller's and at the
British embassy, for I am told that
Mrs. Draper has become quite friend
ly with Lady Durand.
Miss Daisy Letter has returned
from her visit to England and we
social season. Miss Daisy is original
in her methods and she has doubtless
received suggestions during her stay
at the British capital. Strange to say
no new matrimonial rumor Is con-
nected with the younger Miss Letter,
so the gossips are saying that she has
hearkened to the voice of her old
admirer, Craig Wadsworth. Mr..
Wadsworth has been in London at IN
tervals during the winter, and, SO it
is said, has renewed his attentions to
Miss Daisy. This may be true, but 1t
will be huge disappointment to Mrs.
Letter If Daisy does not marry into
the British peerage. Miss Nancy Lei
ter will not return to this country,
for some months yet. She is doing
Egypt and Palestine with chaperon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Letter are living very
| quietly this winter, and their usual
dinner parties and receptions have
! been eliminated. Perhaps they will
take more interest In the amenities,
now that Miss Daisy is at home. Some
Of their friends say that Mr.. Letter
| lost heavily during the panic of last
summer and that he has been COM
PEELED to retrench in every particular.
Only one part Of the marble mansion
has been in use this winter and but a
fraction Of the usual retinue Of serv-
ants has held court in the lower re-
gions. Mr.. Letters health Is some
what improved, but he is far from
robust. At present he is constantly
in consultation with those who make
a minute study Of the diseases which
overtake all who indulge. not wisely
but too well, in highly favored food
In other words, Mr.. Letter has the
govt, together with a rheumatic com
plication.
