BRITISH EMBASSY DECADENT
English Diplomat Disdains Society
Strange Story of the Devil, the
Dancer and the Jealous Lover
at Masked Ball.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. With (h
state dinner given at tho White Hou
on Thursday evening, when h, Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained
the plenipotentiaries' of thirty-wen
foreign powers, the official season rea
ched Its zenith, and there will be no
thing In the next four weeks following
to equal In Interest and distinction the
functions given In the early days of
the year.
The diplomatic reception which took
place In the first week of the New Tear
was one of the most brilliant affair
ever given at the White House. Neve-,
It is said. In the history of its past tri
umph's has there been such a dlspW
of priceless jewels. They crowned f '.
heads, adorned beautiful necks, cover,
ed miladi's hands, and nestled amo.i.T
rich laces, and handsome brocade--where
they caught every pa-sln?
gleam and rivaled the glow of the myr
iads of lights. And all, rumor whim
pers, because a number of the New
Tork smart set came to witness the
reception and to outshine the native
'Villagers." Washington women, as a
rule, do not go forth to the scttii-pub-lic
receptions at the White House, a -domed
as show-windows for Jewelry
establishments, but when the mag':j
word passed round that the Now Tork
women came to impress and out do
fair WashingtonIan8, something had to
be done, and, with one accord th?y
rose to the occasion, and it Is said that
In the battle of the jewels, Washlngt in
was not worsted, and that the gay Ne-v
Torkers returned home with chastened
spirits and enlightened minds in re
gard to the National gem exhibit.
Washington is bemoaning the wai
ing of the social prestige of the Brit
ish Embassy, for it is understood finf
th? Bryces care nothing for whnt
now termed "society," and that thHr,

In. The minimis, although they en
tertained a great deal, woro unable to
keen up the piwo set by their pioilo
rrsnor mill now tho miuirt set Is bewil
dered and horrified to discover llii!
the Hryces don't even menu to try.
Could (iiiythltiK lo more oxusptMiitliiK
to a waiting anil expectant miest than
to learn that there Is to b, no parly?
Ami can the Hrltlsh Kmhiissy afford to
throw social prestige to tho wliuls, and
yet maintain tho dignity anil populari
ty necessary to diplomatic, success?
All this renviins to be demonstrated to
a dl.ippointod ami doubting coterie .'f
Washington society.
Who was the mysterious man, who,
disguised as Mephlstopheles, attended
the celebrated ball masque given by
tho Thomas K. Walshes, at their pala
tlal home on Massachuscts avenue
Was he a butler w ith social aspirations
a burglar with gentlemanly instincts
or simply an adventurer upon excite
ment bent? Many question, but none
can answer. Tne walsnes are reticent
upon the subject, discounted m tne
unfortunate Interpolation whlchmarr-i
ed one of the most ambitious and brll
llant entertainments ever given In
Washington. The mysterious Mephls,-
topheles gained admission without
difficulty, and his disguise which set
off the many physical attractions of
his manly form, was striking even in
that gorgeous peacock throng. His
grace as a dancer, his ready repartee,
and faultless bearing admitted of n
question an'', his assiduous attentat
to a little Egyptian dancer seemed
singularly appropriate. Spectators
iMiid not but notice how wll t.iey
dir.eed together, and strained -yes
and ears to catch snatches cf ttvir
nvrry ,-ouv-rs.itan a they r!oate,
about i-: dr-uny wait.', or lively tuo-st.-p.
An Ksyj-'ti.in dir.cer and the
devil! A h. !'! ' i ombinati-Mi t- cause
trischi'-f. The U.,m" r's goldi-n scarfs
which were wound gnu efully about
her petite ("nil, her golden br.ie.-let"
and anklets, the tinkling of the coins
adorning her gaudy costume s-emed to
invite attention and to irresistibly a'
lure epMto und As the Piper Heidi
wick flowed freely and the strains of
dreamy waltzes were wafted on per
fumed air he seemed ever at her side
or seeking her amid the throng. And
all the time the little lady wondered J
who he was and whom he thought she
was? And interested spectators won
dered who they both were! When I...
in an untoward moment when the mer
riment was at it.? height an irate young
man approached Mephfsto In a manner
that could not be mistaken. Brief
words were exchanged and poor M-
rhisto's mask fell, revealing a cum-
tenance, horrors! unknown
in that as.-ml)lage of gaiety
to j I
seekers.
