The Peace Congress, which is to be
held in New York next April, will be
attended by many distinguished men.
Count Apponyi, the Liberal Hungarian
leader; James Bryce. Baron de Con-
stant, are among those chosen as dele
gates to the Congress over which An

Mr.. and Mrs Bellamy Storer are to
make their future home in Versailles,
France, where they own a beautiful
villa. All their household effects have
been shipped on from Cincinnati, and

leased. That they are not coming to

probably relieve the minds of many

Mr.. Oliver H. P. Belmont. having no

turned his coach house, connected with
Belcourt. his Newport residence. into
a beautiful room, furnished and fin
used for a banquet hall or for enter
tanning purposes generally This idea
was employed by Mrs. George Riggs
(Kate Douglas Wiggin) last year in
the converting of the old barn of

Maine, into a charming room where
she entertains her country friends,
gives village balls, etc. The large barn

Poor Shakespeare!
Mr.. Carnegie, in recent article
published in Review of Reviews. is
distinctly encouraging. He believes
that the millionaire's wealth should be
shared by the poor, but not until his
death. He thinks some scheme will

The name now most often on the
lips Of the women of the smart set in
New York city Is that of Mrs Stuyve-
SAINT Fish. who without doubt has taken
the place of Mrs. Caroline Astor as the
leader of the 400. The recent brill
liant bali given by Mrs. Fish was re-
garded as a sort of Coronation event,
fixing her position as Queen of New
York society. ALI the late stories of
Mrs. Astor's breakdown seam to be
confirmed by the omission of her great
annual ball, which until this year has
never failed to mark the second Mon
day of January. That Mrs. Fish will
prove a worthy successor to Mrs. Astor
is generally freely admitted. Her
functions have the charm of novelty
among the bIase, jaded fashionables of
New York, which indeed shows that
Mrs. Fish must be remarkably re-
sourceful, ingenious woman. In giving
a dinner the other day Mrs. Fish went
to Manager. Conrad, of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company, to engage some
of his singers. Upon Tearing that Mrs.
Fish had also engaged some of the
members of the rival Manhattan Opera
Company for the same occasion, Mr..
Conrad refused to allow any Of his
company to sing for her.
From Madison, N. J., comes an echo

also accuses him of plain stealing her

to have done in the usual way, without
the aid of any supernatural powers.
The young Queen Of Spain appears
to have q mechanical turn of mind,
and has shown a good deal of ingenui-
ty and originality In various devices
which she has worked out, but which
have never been given to the public.
A little invention, however, said to be
hers, has just appeared in Madrid
which promises to be popular the world
over. 1t is a combination fan, Iorg-
nette and motor mask, looks like fan
with a long handle, and can be made
quite simple or very elegant and costly
with jewels. King Alfonso, who seems
to be a nice, manly sort of a fellow,

benefit of his Protestant mother-in-

young King evidently does not believe

1t was reported the other day that
the Marlboroughs had decided on the
terms of their separation, and that the
Duke was to surrender to his children
the 100000 given him by w. K. Van
derbilt at the time of his marriage
with ConsueIo, Mr.. VanderbiH's
daughter. The Duke, after keeping up
Blenheim, which he says he shall do,
to prove that he can get along very
well without his wife's money, will
have an income Of $4,000 left. The
Duchess has been seen good deal in
public lately, being persuaded by
friends that it was better for her to
seclude herself less. Various members
of her family are with her, the Bel
mont, the Reginald Vanderbilts, Mrs.
Reginald being a particular favorite of
hers, and other relatives are expected
to arrive In London soon. 1t looks like
a family conference. The very latest is
a straight denial from Sunderland
House that the deed of separation has
been signed.
