Count and Countess Frankenstein, who was Miss Brewster of New York, who are now in Rome, where they will dwell for the future, were met on their arrival by the pleasing information that one of the count’s horses had won the great steeplechase the day before. The count's mother, the Count- ess Frankenstein, and his sister and her hus- band, Countess and Count Solderini, were in Rome to welcome them also. In the mean- time, while all seems to be going so well with the couple at their Italian home, their friends here are much 4isquieted by the in- formation that the count's title is only one of courtesy, conferred by Pope Leo XIIL, and that in all the ordinary transactions of life the happy individual who won such a pretty American bride is a plain “Mr.” As the absence or presence of a title does not count very much in this country, ex- cept among an exceedingly limited circle, this news, whether it be strictly true or not. really mukes precious little difference in these stern, practical days. Mrs. Levi P. Morton and Miss Morton were presented to Queen Victoria yesterday at the drawing room at Buckingham. Mrs. Henry May received the guests at the Golf Club tea on Wednesday. The day was perfect and the attendance large. Mrs, and Miss Norton gave a tea on Wed- nesday, when their beautiful home w decked with roses and dog-wood blossoms and filled with friends. Mrs. D, 8.
