Mich. with his stately wife and love-
- daughter. who goes to represent
IS il? Denmark. All these arc Amer
cans OF the very highest type.
As to public celebrities, however,
the steamer is full OF them. There
are many and miscellaneous New
York 1nillionaires, with their wives,
their young. their Wallets and their
maids. Then there are the Prince and
Princess Rospigliosi, OF Florence.
The Princess was a Miss Reed, of
Washington. who married a Mr..
Parkhurst, fell in love with Rospig-
losi, divorced Parkhurst and mar
ried Rospigliosi, who, although he
bears one of the oldest historical
titles in Italy, is very ordinary man.
The Princess-formerly Parkhurst,
and more formerly Reeds quite
lame, and is seldom seen. She is
beautiful. Then there is the Prince
Poniatowski, a descendant of the
Kings Of Polond-a very common
looking, decent, sensible man. Then
there is Lord Hawke. a hearty,
kind-hearted young English baron,
who. they tell us, is the tennis
champion of the whole world.
The Stage Folk.
Then there are-of immense and
lively interest to us-Madame Mar
celia Sembrich, the world-renoWned
soprano, and Prof Stengel, her hus-
band, Enrico Caruso, the world-r,
nowned Italian tenor, Emilio Scotti,
the world-renowned Italian baritone,
Otto Van Rooey, the world-renown-
ed German basso, and last but by no
means least, Signorina Solo-Parraga,
the famous premier danseuse. All
these people have finished their
engagements in the United States and
a4e returning to their homes to rest
for the summer. The dancer is
Spanish. She is very beautiful, but
extrer :-ly sad looking. She is soft
and sweet, and low Of voice. The
stage paint and the enhancing stage
smile are not with her now. With
ten or a dozen other lesser singers,
these people all sit at table directly
in front and very near us, and afford
us prennial picnic. We envy them
little-these gay people from whom
the world scarcely ever expects right
things. 1t must be confessed that
respectability is sometimes a thral-
dom. Madame Sembrich is a hand
some, widely informed and extremely
agreeable woman Prof. Stengel,
her husband, is much older than she,
He first discovered her wonderful
voice-taught her to sing-and
married her. Caruso. the greatest OF
living Italian tenors: is great, big,
black. fat, handsome boy, full Of fun
and pranks, and entertains his COM
panions with monkey tricks. These
vocal artists sit at the captains table.
Madam, Sembricf sits at his right
hand. The captain is named kampf,
weighs 800 pounds, is reddish-blonde,
and looks like an Asiatic lion.
At this point in our painfully per-
formd wrning Count Won Ehrenberg.

widower. comes to us and says:
INV dear Colonel Barkone, will
you me instruct the most acceptable
flowers to a charming American lady
to offer?" We say to him: "Mein

Count if is a Northern lady, offer
her Aaring, Haunting red American
beauty roses, and a great many OF
them, with stems two yards long;
but if it is southern lady, offer her
half dozen carnations, or a few vlo-
