dashing woman among the guests. and
there were many stunning women
among them.

In Washington at the inaugural ball!
How? Why. he was one of the conf

he was a specially honored guest at
the White House, and had a nice little
heart-toheart talk with the President.
Whether he met Princess Alice is not
