Individuals of the male gender
were not honored by the touch of
royalty, but many of the fair sex

Presidents house, with President
Buchanan and Miss Lane beside him.
The Marine Band-already famous

"God Save the Queen!" as the Prince
appeared upon the balcony. He re-

There was no dancing at this bril-
liant function at the White House,
President Buchanan being of the
opinion that such a frivolous amuse-
ment would not be in keeping with
the dignified traditions of the Execu-
tive Mansion. However, there was
dancing on the deck of the cutter
Harriet Lane, upon which the Prince
made his historic pilgrimage to Mt.
Vernon next day, and on the voyage
back the speed of the boat was slack
ened so that the enjoyment might be
prolonged. The Prince Opened the
ball' with Miss Lane, the Marine
Band providing the music, and he aft

subject rather abruptly-is expecting
a visit from her sister, Baroness Won

in Mexico. Her husband is attached

Paid Like q Prince, But
Got Special Favors.

While travelling the Prince of
Wales betrayed all his expenses and
those of his suite and the party re-
fused all gratuitous offers from rail-
roads, hotels. etc. His royal highness
paid in a princely fashion-for those
days-but he expected in return a
good many privileges. His special
train was given the right of the road,
all other trains being side-tracked at
its approach. 1t was preceded by a
pilot engine, to minimize the chance
of an accident, and no one was al
lowed to board the royal train except
the officials actually required to run
it, They, of course, were not expect
ed to enter the princes car, and a
separate car -as provided for them.

that it pays to keep on advertising
