Washington, d. -, Sept. S.-A friend
of the Roosevelts said the other day
after reading OF some of the adVen-
lures Of Alice in the Orient:
Il wonder II Princess Alice has her
toy pistol with her? She probably
has. for she seldom misses an oppor-
uni,y TO have "A little fun. This toy
pistol served her TO good purpose at
one OF the BOardman dinners where
she vas a guest last spring. She had
a large fan, which she was welding
with her customary vigor and con-
stsncy. A certain aged and ailing
diplomat was so near to her that he
began TO get a chill from the fan, and
while he was perceptibly annoyed at
its cooling bTeeZes, he dared not re-
mOnstrate With the American princess.
Mrs. COWles. Miss ROOsevelts watch
ful and tacttul aunt. quietly reached
over and gently lifted the fan from
her Young nieces fingers. She folded
IL and laid il on her lap without so
much as even an exchange of words.
Hiss Roosevelt instantly grasped the
situation, and being too tactful TO re-
bel, with swift motion she drew from
her bosom Il TOY pistol and proceeded
to nre prOmiscuously into the air and
all around the room. much after the
manner of Buffalo Bills performers.
The company was terrified for a few
minutes. but IL all ended in a gale Of
laughter, and saved the diplomat from
having pneumonia, as the fan wasn't
restored 10 its mistress until she was
on her way back to the White House.
Both Can Play Cards.
II was rather a surprise to those who
keep track of diplomatic matters when
tho Austrian ambassador returned TO
America and took uD his summer
abode al LenOX. where his staff had
preceded him. The ambassador and
Madame Won Hengelmuller went
abroad about the middle OF February,
the gossips who really know said just
10 escape the inaugural ceremonies, for
Madame had experienced one such,
and declared then that she would never
let herself go through another. They
have been Al the seashoye in Austria,
and have had an altogether good time
of IT, No one expected them back
again, for each year has promised us a
change would be made in the person
representing those countries in Wash
lngton. Much of the official career Of
This diplomat. who. by the way. has no
very brilliant record as a diplomat,
has been spent IN the Balkans. He is
a particularly clever card player. and
his wife is not behind him in skill it
has been discovered. so what the little
husband does not rake in at their card
parties. the madame does she is q

belongs to that nationality, Her pres

lions thanks TO which he stands we'll

also a Pole.
Some Society Buds.
The summer has been fundamentally
uuremuneratiYe the past season,
and this ia the face Of an over
whelmmg number Of buds 20 shipper
and frisk as soon as society gathers
for the presentation of Miss Helen
Chaffee. who was put forward and
withdrawn last winter because so many
more highly placed damsels had al
ready secured the floor. The Chaffees
viii gravitate between Alaska, where
they have been. and Germany, where
they go TO witness the manOeuvres Of
the German army at MuIhausen. Miss
Chaffee will be the ranking bud, for
the daughter of the Russian ambas-
sador is but is. and will. il is stated,
continue her studies at Georgetown
convent and under tutors. There are
me- cabinet buds and none in the SEN
storial set. so Miss Chaffee who is a
frank. pleasant girl looks forward 10
a winter of ovations. General Young
had a young daughter when he was
head OF the army staff, but she was
rather a lightninglike girl. who made
her bow i'm May and the following
October married her own true love and
went 10 live in the Philippines where
she Still resides. Miss Helen Taft Is
barely II. so the suggestion about her
debut is mere nonsense. She and Miss
Ethel Roosevelt are the same age 10 a
day and il will be a great event in
social Washington IL these two in the
lofty post which their parents now
occupy make their bow on Identical
dates. The second. Miss NAV, who is
much handSOmer than her sister Miss
Isabel is among the possibilities. But
Il would be more comforting to hear OF
some engagements from the buds of
FIVE or six winters past. before de-
failing another half hundred aspirantS
i'm the social field. Then as the little
daughter OF the Chinese minister can
speak a word or two OF English now.
she may be added TO the debutante
list.
