SOCIAL ANDPERSONAL
Gossip All Sea Regarding the Courtshp of Miss katherine
Elkins and the Duke of Abruzzi-C Charity Benefits
Occupy Attention of Society During Lent.

HIEF OF all topics in social cir
cIes this past week was, Of
course. the engagement which is
supposed or was supposed to
exist between the Duke dAbruzzi and
Miss Katherine EIkins.
But the duke has gone, and by now lis
on the briny deep. Whether he will come
back and claim the attractive and high
spirited American girl as his bride re-
mains to be seen. No one pretends 20
know All bets are of. so TO speak.
Everything concerning the affair is I'D
in the air.
Whether Il Is simply TO be a nine-days'
wonder and then forgotten and crowded
out by events that will come after is not
yet known.
The duke came on Tuesday with Mrs.
Elkins and her daughter from Florida. in
their private car. On arrival he was In
the best Of spirits-quite gay. in fact. He
left Friday morning. equally gay and sp-
paxently as happy Whether he was
really so happy or merely seeming so for
appearances. no one knows and none
pretends now even to guess.
What the difficulty is. no one can
fathom. It may be the question Of a
settlement. which. by all Europeans. is
looked upon as as much matter OF fact
as a trousseau. The bugaboo raised by
the press concerns the possibilities OF the
match being simply morganatiC.
So much has been said on that subjec;
by the press that'it is enough to frighten
any girl. Some OF Miss Elkins friends
think she is simply waiting to have that
matter definitely settled.
Then there is still another twist IN the
tangle- 1t may be that all the discussion
in the papers has simply made Miss Ell
kins determined 10 have the management
Of her own affairs. Being the girl she is
possibly she resents interference, and (.
a bit contrary in consequence. Maybe

From the social activity Of the past
week no one would dream il was the
Lenten season, if the church calender did
not say so.
Formal dinners. which could not be
crowded into the past season, long as it
was. were given this past week. Others
are booked to come after
At the British Embassy there was a
huge reception. About 600 guests crowded
tho two large drawing-rooms and the
ballroom. There was a brilliant dinner
party at the German Embassy, and one
the same night at the French Embassy.
During the early days of Lent most OF
the nine ambassadors accredited here
were out of town. some in the South and
others in adjacent cities. Now all are at
the Capital except the Mexican Ambas-
sador
OF the eight ambassadors here Thurs
day night. all but the Austrian and the
Russian ambassadors were either giving
dinners or dining out. II was ambassa-
doris night. indeed
With the German Ambassador and the
Baroness Won Sternburg were dining the
Brazilian Ambassador and Nine. Nabuco

Takahira. the Japa nesc Ambassador
dined with Ambassador and Nine Jusse-
rand The Italian Ambassador and the
Baroness Mayor des Planches dined with
Mrs Williams. in Massachusetts avenue
OF course, the Italian Embassy took or
an unwonted amount of social activity,
on account Of the visit OF the prince the
Duke d d'AbruzZi. Entertaining for him
was more or less Informal as the voiIns
prince was travelling incognito. The
night Of his arrival and the night fol

While teas and cake and candy sales
are still in vogue. there is a more practi-
cal note in charity sales. Things to wear
are taking the places Of things 20 eat
Hats are the fad at present, with dainty
blouses and neckwear as accessories. per-
haps.
AT the flower sale at Mrs. Bells last
Wednesday there were a number of hats
put up for sale. They were snatched up
quickly. the demand far outdoing the sup
ply.
This coming Wednesday an array Of
hats is TO be exhibited and sold at the
new and artistic home Of Mrs. Van
Vechten Olcott in Sheridan circle. All
the newest styles in the spring shapes
and trimmings will be seen. Prices. it is
said, will be remarkably low.
This cutting Of prices, OF course. will be
nice for Neighborhood House, the benef-
ciary-to-be. but it's little rough perhaps
on women who make their living selling
hats. But then, charity begins at home,
