THE KING IS
A DINER-OUT
Has Not Abandoned Practice
Since His Accession.
LIKES AMERICAN GIRLS
Due Largely lo His Influence thai the
American Beauty is Such a Suc?
cess in Merry Old
England*?
By PAUL LAMBETH.
Special Cable to The Times-Dispatch.
Copyright, 1903.)
LONDON, June 20.?Sluco hrs accession
to the throne Kliig Edward? Is Keeping up
Ids character as aJi inveterate tltner-out,
nnd when In town he very frequently
honors somo olii friends by dining at
their table.
Although these visits aro ?julto private,
nnd are rnrely mentioned In the Court
Circular, the etiquette of entertaining
royalty is always strictly observed.
Thus, a. list of guests to be asked Is
Invariably submitted to His, Majesty, and
nt table he Is served by his own servant.
The presenco of the King imposes a
certain restraint on tho company, and at
these dinner parties conversation never
becomes really general.
The careful selection of guests and tho
Invariably tacrtful management of, the
King's hosts and hostesses make the oc?
currence of any sort of awkward inci?
dent almost Impossible.
The King's partiality for American wo?
men Is well known, and It Is largely rluo
to his Influence that tho.American girl
hos modo such a brilliant success ?a
English society.
Among the American women who fre?
quently entertain the King arc the Dow
nger Duchess of Manchester, Mrs. George
Cornwivllls-Wcst. (Lady Randolph Church-^
111), and Mrs. Arthur Pagot.
It was at Lady Randolph ChiirchlU'r,
that His Majesty, when Prince of Wales,
met most of tho prominent Americans,
among whom he has so many valued
friend?.
Lady Somerset.
Lady Henry Somerset has a reputation
on both side? of tho Atlantic, as an en?
thusiastic social reformer and temper?
ance advocate.
But It will bo news to many thit sho
lias h!"lr!onlc abilities of no mean ordert
and enjoys a.practical joke In which they
can be displayed.
An amusing anecdote is being told of
hor ladti'shlp's talent for harmless fun
of this kind.
Some years ago she and her cousin,
Lady Dudley, personated two French
Indies so well that they actunlly imposed
on the servants at Eastnor Castle, Lady
Somerset's own scat.
Lady Henry Somerset arrived ono day
with Lady Dudley, and they pretended to
bo simple French tourists desiring to In?
spect the Interior of the mansion.
Lady Henry wore a veil, carried a lorg?
nette, talked French and signed tho visi?
tors' book in tho namo ot "Duchesse do
Montmorency."
The housekeeper, who felt, annoyed that
tho lino paintings were not admired by
th?/ Frcn?:h visitors to tho extent she
Viought they deserved, was not favor?
ably Impressed by tho ".'Duchesse" nnd
lier companion.
Even a tip of J2.50 did not placate tho
worthy woman, and sho afterwards re?
marked to her mistress: "That Duchess
t?o. Montmorency Is a disagreeable crea?
ture,"
Divinely Tall.
A wedding that is honored by tho pres?
ence of tho King nnd Queen Is very nat?
urally a very smart function Indeed.
The first nuptial ceremony thus distin?
guished since tho King's accession was
that of Mr. Robin Duff and Lady Juliet
Lowther, who wero married a few days
ogo.
Tho "bride's mother, the beautiful Lady
de Grey, has long been a great friend of
both tho King and Queen, and the bride
gioom, who is a lieutenant In tho Second
Life. Guards, is remotely connected with
the royal family through his kinsman, tho
Hulto of Fife, who Is. of course, the hus?
band of Princess Louise of Wales.
Lady Juliet Is very handsome, and, like
her mother, "divinely tall."
She has not been very long In society,
having made, her debut as a bridesmaid
nt tho mnr+bige of. Lady Peggy Primrose,
"Lord Rosobtfry's daughter, to the Karl
of Crewe, last year, but sho has been a
most pronounced success.
Her many accomplishments and exquis?
ite taste in dress, coupled with grace,
V.enuty and nmlnblllty. havo secured her
nil unrivalled position among society girls.
Tho bridal dress was made In Paris, and
had several original features.
Altogether the Dufr-I/iwtlier function
was tho wedding ot this season of smart
weddings.
Still Beautiful.
Tho Marchioness of Londonderry, wifn
of ilio Minister of Education, who has
just celebiated her birthday, Is still uno
.'.1 Ihe representativo beautiful women of
England, athough she Is the. mother of a
married sou and daughter and was re?
cently inade a grandmother.
An Incomparable hostess, a brilliant
conversationalist, and gifted with a clever
pen, Lady Ixuidontlerry takes llrst placo
among tho great ladies of Romina society,
She takes on activo part In polities?or
the social sida of them-and her political
entertainments aro equally famous as the
more privato function? sho presides over.
Lady Londonderry was formerly a
graceful nnd untiring horsewoman, but
fcince a rather serious spill In llydo Park
two years ago sho Is now never seen In
the saddle.
Gallant Highlander,
One of tho most Interesting In the mul?
titud?? of smart weddings which is a
feature of tlio present seanori is that of
Miss Boris Tattersall. to a gallant Bcot-.
tlsh ottlcer. Ivleutin nit-('olone| KelhtttU, Of
the Highland Light Infantry'.'
in ttie great majority of these fund Ions,
by tho way, tho bridegroom Is a soldier,
which circumstance Is perhaps connected
with tho return of the veteran army from
Smith Africa.
Mrs. Kelliam In, of course, a member of
the world-famous horserdealing family,
her father being the present hoed of the
firm, Mr. Edmund Somervllle TaUeisuU.
Tliere baa been Multe a dynasty of
Tuttersalls, for the business was founded
nf long ago as 17G6 by Hlcltiird Tiiitci-.ii.il,
who was stud groom to tin? I'uke of
Kingston, and tho reigning chief is "Ed?
mund IV."
He succeeded his father, "Edmund III...'?
In 1S98, and continui'? worthily to uphold
the great traditions of the famous "cor?
ner," the world'? foremost horte-murt.
His pretty daughter Is now the wlfo of
the commander of one of the smartest
line regiments ln the British urray.
He was made a commander of the Bath
for his service? In Bouth Africa, where.
Ii?k bsttiijlon formed part of tin? High?
land Brigad)?. which buffered tuch cruel
losses at Mugerafonteln id December, 1?8S.
THEIR INTELLIGENCE
IS VERY SHORT-LIVED

MADRID, Juin? av.?Jt Is announce*
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
IN THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND
here that tho Vatican authorities find
great difficulty in malting selections
among tho native clergy of tho Philip?
pines for the vncnnt dioceses thero. Two
of tho Spanish bishops, who formerly .oc?
cupied ?sees In tho Philippines, have
boon bore In Spain Blnco they were driven
out of their sees, nearly live years ago;
Tliey have been united by the Koman
authorities to suggest t?vo native priests
ns successors. Tho request was made
quito two months ago,.but neither of the
prelates has sent an nnsiver. They de?
claro among their friends that they can?
not conscientiously recommend any of the
native priests they have known for the
responsible charge of bishop?yet they do
not wish to commit themselves to an
official statement of this opinion, fearing
that tlioy might be s'uppused to be biased
against tho nativo clorgy.
A Spanish priests who ha3 spent many
years In tho Philippines gives an extraor?
dinary explanation ot this alleged 'In?
competence. Ho declares that whllo the
nativo Pillplno, clericalv as well as lay,
is normally intelligent and active up to
the ago of thirty, ho ' not only ceases to
develop after thnt ago. but positively de?
clines In Intelligence and energy after?
ward. Hence fciv nativo priests over
forty, which Is the beginning of "tho
episcopal ago," aro really f.t to rulo
dioccso.

The accompanying picture
shows the three women who at

quite significant that one of them
is the Countess of Donoughmore.

"VA'hilo this movement was started hy
Jewish charitable associations, It Is re?
ceiving moro and more aid from Chris?
tian associations and Individuals. It is
evident that this result was Inspired by
the American example. A great deal Is
being said and written about tho prompt'
and generous response tho peoplo of tho
United States, irrespective of religion,
mado upon receipt of the first news of
tho Bessarabia outrages.
Tlio Brazilian colony plan Is not yet
completo in detail. Tho leaders ot the
movement aro Informing themselves
about tho cost of transporting families
an,i what Is necessary to make them self
supporting soon after arrival. It Is
thought that within a fow weeks theso
preliminaries will havo been settled, and
a start made In sending out colonists and
supplies.
Meanwhile dispatches from Russian
totwns multiply telling of a renewal of
panics among the Jewish peoplo. There
Is no doubt that Russia has her entire
Hebrew population thoroughly terror?

The building Is to be n. fireproof ono

Two Ancient Banks.
An Interesting fact Is that two of the
strongest and oldest banks that ever wero
in Richmond stood on this square oppo?
site the postofnee. They wero tho Bank of
Virginia mid the Farmers' Bank.of Vir?

combined stock of nearly all tho banks
In Richmond at the presont time, stood
side by side for more than a quarter of
a conturj?. Each iTad Its watch tower, for
tho watchmen and tho residence of each
cashier .was next to his bank. The paper
Is able to' present a cut of thoso hanks

BRUSSELS. June 20.?At Halnaut,

novel sort ot entertainment has been
devised by tho vlllago folk. At a moet
ing ot the town council It was decided
to have every year a banquet on tlio first
of June, nt Whioh only unmarried girls
anxious for husbands wero to bo the
g-ucsts.
Tho" Urst feast of tho kind took place
this year in tlio midst Of tho.greatest ex?
citement, th? w'holo village making It n.
holiday and unmarried girls from all tho
neighboring ciuntles had been Invited.
Alongside of each girl an empty chair
was kept ns an Invitation to bachelors to
choose their partner. A crowd of posst
tlo bridegrooms ntood about during the
banquet and it looked as If tho whole
fenst wore going to finish without any
practical results, whon at the end nino
of tho men offered themselves as volun?
tary victims nnd choso each their partner.
The marriage of ull nine will take place
