THE ROYAL VISITORS. ‘The Princess aud the Duke Will Net Be- turnto Washington—Fereign Ambassadors Wil Be Welcomed by Society — Where Well-Known People Are Summering. -—_ + The past week was pleasantly broken- bya ber of weddings, the most prominent of which were the Smith-Judson nuptials of Thursday. But for the fact that the arrange- ments were hurriedly made the choristera would have had orchestral accom; it to their singmmg. The frequent repetition of the wedding anthem, “The Voice That Breathed O'er Eden,” has created g little comment under the supposition that these selections were en- tirely voluntary on the part of the director. ‘The very contrary is the case. This and the other hymn usually sung are laid down in the hymnal and are just as obligatory as any other part of the service. When the new hymanals are introduced, however, there will be | the ® much wider choice, though it is thought doubtful if any better oan be selected, either in words or music, any more than a change from the wedding marches of Mendelssohn or Lo- hengrin, It begins to look as if we would not have the pleasure of seeing either the princes’ and suite orthe Duke of Veragua in this city again, for the ostensible purpose of saving good-bye to Presi- dent and ‘Clevelar It would have helped mightily to keep off the summer dullness for us, and the foreigners could have hed just as good a time as they had before, even if it was @ little quieter.

The list of foreign ambassadors when so- ciety reconvenes in this city next autumn will in all probability be «long one. Brit and uch are already with us, the Itelian seems acertainly with Baron Fava as the re- cipient, a German is already named and it is at nounced that Russia will fall in lino in the very near future.
