Why the Princess of Wales Was Absent from the Drawing-Room. Didn’t Wish to Mect a Certain Poer- ess the Prince Was Fond of, (Copyright, 1995, by the Associated Presa.) LONDON, May 2%.—Secret history con- nected with the last two Drawing-Rooms at Buckingham Palace is leaking out, and Is giving the gossips plenty to chal ter about, It appears that the appl tion of the Dowager Duchess of Mi borough, formerly Mrs. Louis Ham- ersley, of New York, who wished to be presented to the Queen on her mar- rlage to Lord William Beresford, std returned to her through the Lord Chai berlain's office, where such ‘applications are filed, with the indorsement, in the handwriting of Queen Victoria, that Her Majesty could only receive her as Lady William Beresford, and that she could not retain her previous higher title, as she has often done. Consequently, the charming lady who is generally known as the “American Duchess,” will, in future, have only her Place in precedence at Court as Lady William Beresford, and will not have the right to sit on the coveted bench re- served for duchesses at state bails and other Court function ‘The second incident which is being connection w: the Drawing-Room of Wednesday last, where the Princess Louise, (Marchioness of Lorne), third daughter of Queen Victoria, represented the Queen in place of the Princess of Wales, who had been first selected for that honor, It was given out that the indisposition of the Princess of Wales was the cause of her refusal to be present, but it would seem that the health of the Princess was not the real cause of from Buckingham Pal day, Among the names of the ladies to be presented was a certain peei whose company the ity. This caused the Princess to pay a flying visit to the Queen, who was at Windsor, and Her Majesty reluctantly consented to call upon the Princ Louise to represent her at the Drawin, Room. But after all this turmoil in the royal family, the much-discussed peer- Buckingham Palace, and so the storm is blowing over. Vanity Fair says that the sensation of the function, the drawing-room of Wednesday last, was the presentation of Mra, George N. Curzon (formerly Miss Mary Leiter, of Washington and Chi- cago). She wus dressed more beautl- fully than any one there, in a silvered white gown, with a yellow train, at- tached to silver wings on her shoulders and with diamonds, “like dewdrops,” over her dress and in her hair. Mri Curzon ts being most warmly received here, and is being an much petted as any woiran in London. Lady Mary Hamilton, the young daughter of the late Duke of Hamilton, will be the richest helress in Eng and, probably, in the world, She ts only about ten years old, and has inherited the bulk of the late Duke's estates, in- cluding the Isle of Arran, which «lone is worth $6,000,000, The whole of the Duke of Hamilton's property was at his own disposal, and the rentals already amount to $1,000,000 per year. ‘The Duke's death was due to "bant- as the process of reducing @ per- son's avoirdupols is termed. He had succeeded In lightening himself by about sixty pounds, but the process was too much for his vitality, and he suo- cumbed in spite of the efforts to save his life which were made by those who had been supervising the banting treat- ment. The present Duke of Hamilton, ‘a distant relative of the late Duke, in- herits Hamilton Place and barely enough to support the title. A camphor famine is threatened as a result of the war between Japan and China. The price of camphor has rapid- ly advanced, and Japan Is placing the mont severe restrictions upon its export, Should a warm Summer bring cholera and dysentery, the demand for camphor will be very great, and its scarcity will not only interfere with many medical compounds, but will hinder the manu- facture of smokeless gunpowder, in which camphor largely enters as an in- gredient, As a aign of the times, it was an- nounced on ‘Thursday last, in the House that the Duke of Cam- the Ranger of Hyde Park, has been compelled to give @ reluctant con- bieyclists, But riders will only be al- lowed in Hyde Park until 10 AM, 1 ‘Tho Prince of Wales will give his cus- |‘ tomary dinner to the members of the on the evening of Derby Day.
