DANISH RARY's LONG VEIL.
Son OF Count Won MoItke Wears Pc
turesque Garb of His FatherIand.

There is no more picturesque figure
in Washington than the baby son of
Countess Won Moltke, wife of the
Danish minister. Before her marriage
she was Corne1ia Van Rensselaer,
Thayer of Boston. Her son was born
since the minister's appointment to his
present post, and it is only within the
last few days that the countess herself
has come to Washington to take her
place as one of the stateIiest American
women who> have come back to their
native shores to preside over for
eign home. The baby boy draws
eyes every fine afternoon in Dupont
park. He is arrayed after the fine
fashion of all aristocratic Danish in
fants, and conspicuous feature of
his attire is a beautifully embroidered
lace veil at least six feet long.
This veil is made fast to the front
Of the Won Moltke baby's cap and it is
spread carefully over his face and tiny
body when he Is in his perambulator.
When he is at home it is raised and
lifted to one side, much after the
fashion in which women lay back their
automobile wells when they leave their
cars. The baby's nurse is an equally
interesting figure. She is big woman
from the shores of the North sea and
she wears the elaborate national head
dress of her countrywomen. Her ear
rings, however, attract most attention.
They are made of fretted gold and are
as big around as the bottom of an or
binary teacup. From the rims, hung
close together, depend strings of tiny
pearls in settings of cfiligree gold. It is
asserted the nurse has received offers
of fancy prices for her earrings from
more than one society belle, but she
steadily refuses to part with them.

excellent reason to expect that the ap,

around for something to do on the out.
side while waiting for their govern.
ment appointments to materialize.
They don't haunt the corridors OF
the departments or clamor at the
doors of officials and legislators, nor
sit around hotel Hobbies telling their
woes, because they know just where
they stand, have no woes and are in
general just as different FROM the old
time typical officeseeker as am from
Papuan.
Even when the administration
changes there are no longer any clam
orous crowds here looking for the
higher appointive and unclassifed of
fices-professional place hunters, that
is. Men engaged in business or the
professions come here, it is true, al

sentatives when administrations

He grabbed straw-hatted youth by
the shoulder and questioned him.
Whats the matter?" he cried.
Search me-" answered the ques-
toned one. "Le'me go; / want to see
what the ole guy is up to-"
The policeman lost his temper. He
was being treated with disrespect. A
festive citizen was running a fool pro-
cession over his beat without giving
him the least explanation! So he let
go of the youths shoulder and dashed
madly after the man in evening dress.
Here, what's the game?" he painted.
What sort of stunt are you up to,
anyhow"
The fat man shook off the grip of
the law and ran faster than ever. his
outstretched hands circling round
each other like the arms of a windmill
in gale.
"stoop down and I'll tell you," he
gasped, as the officer made another eff
fort to restrain him.
The evident responsibility of the fat
man made the policeman comply with
the request, and bending his six-foot
frame he ran alongside the other as
he listened. The inquisitive mob, now
numbering score, gathered in close,
but the nightstick described a circle
and they backed into safety.
For nearly twenty yards the police
man ran with bent back. Then he
Strengthened himself up and laughed
loudly. Good for you," he cried
Sprint a little, or we may be too
late" Then he started to run madly
alongside the man with the windmill
arms.
The curious ones were annoyed.
They were taxpayers, and they did not
think it right that the officer, who was
their servant, should keep the solution
of the mystery secret. They grow1ed
angrily whenever the law chuckled
over the story that the fat man had
whispered, but they followed at full
speed Late jewellers joined the
group, but when they asked the reason
of the chase they were told to watch
the movements of the leaders hands.

The Padelfords come of a rich Bal

his marriage to Mrs Woolsley Edward

1t was midnight In Fifth avenue
there were few pedestrians, and SO
fat man in evening dress, hurrying
northward, attracted attention. Six
night birds, who thought his actions
mysterious, followed a few PAGES in
the rear. Occasionally they questioned
each other as they trotted briskly
along, but the questions were put in
the hopeless tone that the questioner
uses when he knows the person ques-
toned cannot supply the information
he requires.
The fat man didn't speak. He
moved at smart jog trot, looking
unaware of the fact that he was the
cause of much conjecture. The mys'
terry scented by the others was caused
by the peculiar movements of his
hands. His arms were outstretched
and his two hands revolved round
each other like the hands of fisher
man hauling in line. And the in
quisitive ones in the rear were unable
to explain this movement. It was not
a dignifed exercise for a fat man in
evening dress, and their curiosity was
justified.
At Thirty-second street a policeman,
doing on the opposite side of the
road, Strengthened himself as he saw
the hurrying group coming towards
him. Swinging his night stick he
crossed over and waited the approach
Of the little procession. He was in
charge of that neighborhood, and
there should be an explanation.
The fat man passed the officer at a
gallop. His hands were moving faster
and faster, and the tails of his coat
were sticking out like little black
wings in his rear. The law was a
trif1e astonished. AS he stood looking
after the leader of the hurrying squad
he was jostled by the inquisitive ones
following, and he became annoyed
