preached on the subject by an agent for
Mrs. Potter Palmer, her name being care
fully concealed. but there the matter rests
for the present. Her own friends say she
intends to settle nothing until she returns
to London after a long visit to America.
Mrs. Palmer has been looking very tired
lately. She will be glad when the time
comes for her TO sail as although not a
good sailor she nevertheless gets some
rest during her voyage across the At
lantic.
Lovers Knots SuppIant Tiaras.
For the moment the tiara is "out of It,"
This, OF course. is a mere within on the
part Of ashton. Just now the more ad-
vanced women are wearing true-lovers'-
knots in Jewels or some other trifle in
the way of ornament in their hair, rele-
eating their all round crowns and tiaras
to the safety deposit vaults. Even the
queen, who but rarely follows the die
tates of fashion, has been adjoining her
hair with tulle, a chou of velvet or a
rose. Mrs. George West has always had
a p%enchant for osprey and so has her sis
ter, Mrs. Jack Leslie. Both, sitting to-
gether. wore clumps of It the other night
at the opera Young Mrs. Astor wore no
tiara at her father-in-law's concert. Even
Mrs. Bradley Martin, who is rarely seen
without hers in the evening, is for the mo-
ment following the prevailing vogue. In
the first Instance it was Lady Newborough
who has wonderful jewels, who set the
fashion of the simple hair adornment.
runke Quarrel at Dinner.
Every one present at Mrs. Mackay's
dinner party (Which was organized as a
prelude to Mr., Astors concent, taking place
a stones throw off was disguised at the
bad taste of the diplomat and the cabinet
minister in selecting a lady's dinner table
at which to pick their quarrel. There are
several versions OF the tale. II seems it
arouse out OF a discussion over the kings
recent visit to Russia, the cabinet minister
defending the king, while the foreign diplo-
mat saw the matter In another light. Both
men lost their heads absolutely and used
very strong language. There was no mis-
taking the fact that before they arrived
at Mrs. Mackay's they had been drinking
something moro than tea and the cham
payne at dinner did the rest, The cabinet
minister in question is an old offender in
this respect and labor members in the House,
who are a body Of most abstemious men,
have had their eyes on him for a long time
past. He is one Of their bitterest foes.
IL Is expected IMAM one OF these nights the
police will be called In TO help him from
the sacred precincts OF the hambe OF the
House. II this actually happens 1t won't
be possible TO keep his weakness private
any longer and In all likelihood he will have
to resign on the score of III health as
others before him have done in similar
circumstances
Both Men Apologize.
The diplomat with whom he Quarreled is
quite inoffensive as a rule. and this is the
first instance IN which he distinguished
himself by appearing ridiculous. The hos
tess was extremely distressed over the in
cident and at first It was feared that she
would be unable to take her guests on TO
the Aston concert. After having had sal
volatile she rose to the occasion n went
on.
Next day she received the most profuse
and abject apologies from both men who
said they could not express the regret they
felt at what had happened. The letters
so far nave not been answered. This will
be understood when II is remembered that
they drew a crowd OF people around the
windows OF No. 6. Carlton House Terrace
by their loud and angry voices
