After all there will only be two really prearranged quadrilles at Mrs. Adair's greatly looked-forward-to ball on the 11th, at which American woren will be much in evidence. The two selected are called the “Goddesses’” and ‘“‘Shamrock.” With regard to the former, so far as can be heard, the following ladies will take part: Miss Violet Monckton, Miss Diane Sturt, Mrs. Rupert Bechett, Miss Paget, the pretty daughter of Lady Alexander Paget, and two or three others. . The “Shamrock’ quadrille, as arranged, is to be danced entirely by Irish people. Among the ladies will be: Lady Blanche Conynghame, Lady Beatrix Taylour, Miss Claire Stopford, Miss Claire Frewen, daughter of Mrs. Moreton Frewen; Miss . Helen Post, daughter of Lady Barrymore, and Ladv, Aline Dawson-Damer, - Their partners will all wear hunting evening dress. Some beautiful and extremely expen- sive dresses will be worn, it is said. The Princess Hatzfeldt, formerly Miss Hunt- ington, will appear as the Queen of Sheba, for which her dress has cost $2000. It is quite likely that Mrs. Parker Dea- con and her second daughter, who makes her debut this year and is said to be very lovely, may come to London for the season. ki e PRINCESS YOLANDE YEARNS LONDON, May 23.—A very amusing story comes from Rome apropos of the King's recent visit. King Edward, writes the Rome corres- pondent of the Westminster Gazette, has ‘come, seen and conauered all with the ex- ception of the Princess Yolande, the eld- est daughter of King Victor Emmanuel. She had imagined that King Edward was coming especially for her bemefit, so her disillusionment is easily imagined when not only did he prove to be middle aged, but she was shut in her nursery and not allowed to come out without special per- mission. The Princess, however, decided not to endure such an injustice, but her nurses were vigilant. One morning, while her papa and mam- ma were very much occupied, she found the door open and slipped out quite un- seen. But mamma's eyes were sharp, and she discovered her daughter hiding behind a huge chair. “Yolande, why did you run away?" asked the Queen. “1 did not,” she replied. “T only wanted to see King Edward’'s crown, and Miss ‘Dickens _kept mre in the nursery. The nasty man has not got a crown, after all.” ———————— Railway Up Mont Blane.
