had come 40 far to greet him and his bride.
IL is well understood that the embassy
with which Mr. Whitridge il entrusted has
something more than a complimentary
meaning. 1t is intended to put an end to
the last remains Of c~oolness bet ween Spain
and the United States, which inevitably
supervened upou the Sranish-American
War.
II tact on the side of an ambassador
and courtesy on the part of his hosts can
bring about this happy result it rday be
certain it will he achieved. The Spanish
authorities have horlsed Mr.. Whitridge,
his family and suite in the beautiful Palace
Of the Coz ntess Pigna- Hermose. and are
paying specially marked attention to them.
The city is ablaze with color. Flags,
draperies and flowers abound everywhere.
When one quits the great squares for the
quaint, narrow and, it must be admitted,
unsanitary side streets, With their lofty
houses, the medley of colors, with the
sunlight cleaning through narrow open
ings, produces a gorgeous Oriental effect.
At nightfall the whole scheme of illumi-
nation was tested, producing an enhancing
effect.
