HER HEART IN SPAIN.

ROMANCE OF THE HON. MARIA DEL PILAR COLON Y AGUILERA.

There Is a Marquis in Madrid Who Has an "Attachment" for the Daughter of the Duke of Veragua--When She Returns, Says the Marquis of Villalobar, the Engagement Will Be Formally Announced--Something About the Pretty Spanish Girl and the Lucky Unknown.

Perhaps the most popular so far of Chicago's distinguished guests has been the pretty 18-year-old daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Veragua--the Hon. Maria del Pilar Colon y Aguilera. Wherever she has gone she has made friends, and she naively says, "I do so love to have them." At the social functions where she has made her appearance the fashionable world have been charmed with her, and the public in general have almost looked upon her as one of themselves, admiring her democratic spirit and her love of independence. Many charming stories have been written and told of her--of the frequent visits she has made to the Fair grounds, where, attended only by her brothers, she has tramped over the muddy roads and through the unfinishing buildings, regarding everything with the enthusiasm of a young girl; of her delight in "Mr. Buffalo Beel's show, which she declares to be "most excite, most interest;" of her preference for grip cars, elevated roads, and crowded trains as means of travel over the more elegant but slower carriage.

Not only has the public admired her, but it i even said that more than one of Chicago's young society men have quite outdone the public in this respect. But there is no hope for them.

A bit of gossip has lately been whispered about among the inner circle of those who have been most in the society of the ducal party to the effect that the Hon. Maria del Pilar Colon y Aguilera did not leave the shores of Spain quite heart whole and fancy free; that, in fact, upon her return to her own country her engagement would be officially announced.
