 Mrs. Hwfa williams-and right here in the begining Mrs. Williams says that Hwfa Is, pronounced as if It were spelled Huva--who, by no less''a per- son than King Edward is considered to be the best dresed woman in Eng land, is here on her first visit to the States. She was a guest at the Perry Belmont home in Forty-seventh street and Fifth Avenue, but left yesterday afternoon for Washington. where sne will spend few days. Her visit to this country will last a month, and during that time she will be a guest of Mrs John Jacob Astor.

 "As for New York. if had not prom ised to go to Washington I should not leave here at all-it Is so fascinating and 1t looks so lively, and the streets are so fine and wide. In fact, the at- mosphere about every peep l have had since getting in yesterday reminds me strongly of Paris.
