SOME SOCIAL GOSSIP
Her Second Honeymoon Ended Mrs Tarn McGrew Again Enters Whirl of Society Wsth All Her
 Eccentric Originalities

| IdIiSy July S.-lopeCldi.J J-l1 tiioct ois tant days when William Waldorf Astol
 was still an American citizen and min ster to Italy. he wrote novel whicf he called Beatrice Cenci." Whether
 the success of this book did not mee his expectations or whether little pro
 fessional jealousy has tinged his view of writers and their works. I do no know. but I do know his treatment o the Irish authoress, Miss May de ls ment.
 It seems this lady is engaged upon 2 romance of Henry the Eighth and Anne Bolyr Wishing to get all the local colol possible for her book, she approached the Master of Clvedon and asked foi permission to visit the room where Henry and Anne carried on their courtship. Tc her surprise MT. Astor fiatly refused her admittance to the house. Very indignant the authoress said to him: T suppose you refuse because you wish to show you are a free American?
 Not at all,' retorted MT. Astor, 'Tn not an American. I'm a British subject and as I bought Clivedon I suppose may do as I please with it.
 And now Miss de la Cherois is saying things in favor of the old feudal sys- tenn. Her private opinion is if MT. Aston had his own way he would simply gc about ordering people off the earth. The close of Mrs Tarn McGrew's honey moon finds her again in the whirl of the social world. Evidently she means to keep up her reputation for the origi- nality of her entertainments, which are never like those of other ladies of hel set or of any set for that matter.
 Sometimes this blithsome lady, whose Christian name by the way Is Isabel, has birds served in their feathers to the wondering guests. Once. when entertain ing Prince Karageorgavich, brother of King Peter of Servia, the center of her dining table was adorned with huge blocks of ice in the shape of pyramids of Egypt This was at the time she was Mrs. Scott-Grant and was in the matri- monial market. The Prince was very attentive to her and their engagement was supposed to be settled thing. The charming Mrs. Scott-Grant however, did not marry him. Instead she married Tarn McGrew, a young Hawaiian.
 Not long ago Mrs. McGrew entertained the Infante Eulalie at gorgeous ban quet On this occasion her centerpiece consisted of a fountain whose waters played merrily throughout the dinner All would have gone well had not the Infante. who occupied the seat of honor, received a wetting, to the detriment of her ball dress to say nothing of her soup. Other wise the innovation of the fountain was a dazzling success.
 Mrs. Pamela Prentice, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, has been in Paris buying pretty gowns. Mrs. Prentice has just passed Through what Is termed preventative" treatment at Karsbad
 While still Miss Rockefeller, pr. Muel- Ter, the famous artist. cured her of threat ened deafness. From time to time she returns to him for this treatment On her recent visit she has been accompanied by her husband and her little son. The Prentices may really be said to have opened the season at Karlsbad, having been the very first Americans to arrive.
 Several times within the past year 1t has been rumored that Miss Anne Nor gan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, will marry Don Jaime, son of the late Don Carlos and claimant to the throne of spain. II IS QlHlCult anu peIndpS III tic premature to get confirmation of this interesting fact, but know Don Jaime and Miss Morgan have met and are very congenial. The meeting took place at the Villa Trianon at Versailles, the beau tiful summer home of Miss Elsie de Wolf and Elizabeth Marbury Miss Morgan
 is a great friend of these ladies and an annual visitor at Versailles. It was at one of their lat homes,'' which are held every Sunday. that Miss Morgan met the prince. This dashing young cavalry officer is said to have been i'm mensely struck with the intellectual and philanthropic young American.
 On the other hand, no woman, American or otherwise, could help admiring this handsome prince, who belongs to the old est royal family in Europe, and who. but for the Saiic law, would be on the throne of Spain today Don Jaime is a mili- tant and capable leader If the Carlist cause were backed by the Morgan mil lions, who can say what might happen Jajme's chances of the throne are far brighted than were those of Napoleon the Third.
