One of the most interesting residences
in Washington is the Spanish legation
which was completely remOdeled by the
new minister shortly after his arrival
in the early summer. Marquis de Viii
lalObar recently gave a reception in
celebration of King Alfonso's saints
days. Those among the diplomatic
corps and official and resident society
fortunate enough to be numbered
the guests were generous in
their praises of the beautiful furnish
ings placed in the legation by Marquis
de VillalObar. He has q wonderful col
lection of fine paintings, bibelots,
tapestries and antiques brought from
his various estates in Spain. Among
the paintings the most noted are Sir
Peter LEY, a Nelasquez, and several
by Goyne, which equal, if not surpass,
in value anything in Washington. A
handsome full-length portrait of King
Alfonso holds the place of honor. A
collection of photographs of some of
the most celebrated people in the
world, with their personal inscriptions,
is a source Of great pride to Minister
VillalObar.
During the reception an orchestra of
mandOlins and guitars played in the
conservatory. In the dining room the
decorations were beautiful In the CEN
ter Of the table stood a huge silver cup
presented to the minister by the Unit
ed States government on the occasion
Of King AlfonsO's coronation, when he
was in attendance to the special Amer
lean ambassador. The cup, together
with two gold cups at either end of the
table, held carnations. A handsome
gold service, which has been in the
minister's family for 100 years, was
used for the occasion.
It would be a surprising thing if any
one who COntemplates buying real eS-
tate in or near this city should over
look a single real estate al in this
paDeT. OF course il MIGHT haDpen.
