In fact, the staffs of four nations, England, Frante, Italy and Japanm, contaln more members than was comprised in the entire corps twenty-five years ago, and they outnumber the present corps in many important. capitals of Europe. London, Paris and Rome, the most important capitals of Eu- rope, have fewer ambassadors and min{sters than Washington and their staffs are invariably confined to some six or eight aides. Great Britain has | perceptibly cut down the secretaries and attaches necessary during tne war, but sixteen remain in Washing- ton in different assignments. Italy and Japan have more than thirty sec- retarfes and France has fourteen. The diplomatic corps is now the most | numerous official body in Washington, {with the sole exceptiton of the House {of Representatives, and, like those jaugust legislators, it is experiencihe much difficulty in entertaining each other as a whole. When the Japanese empire about five years ago formally changed the New Year from the anclent date in early spring it marked a universal i observance of January 1, with the tion of the sovlet established in {Russia. In every other part of the {world, even in Greece, where the old | calendar was tenaclously kept until ! recently, the New Year begins on {January 1, and the oustoms regurd- |ing its celebration are almost as va- {ried as those which mark Christmas. |In Brazil on New Year day there is {the most festal of the year, and the | entire nation is joy-making for three | days—the eve, the day and the day following.

Antiquariana pronounce this statue to he the earliest known figure of the Savior carved in the western world, probably in the opening decade of the fourth century of the Christian era. Like the famous mosalc of the Vatican. it shows the distinguishing eastern or Jewish type df feature, and !not the Roman.

Ralston, who is to .become a member of Washington’s officlal circle when her husband takes his seat in the Senate from Indlana, enjoys a reputation in several direc- tions, and some-in a rather unique way. At the now historic Dolly Madison breakfast some twelve yvears ago, when the women of the demo- cratic faith formed a strong alliance, Washington had an opportunity hear & forceful, logieal and exceed- ingly convincing speech from Mrs. Ralston, then the wife of the go ernor. 'In the executive mansion in Indianapolis, Mrs. Ralston was en- tirely acceptable. and her energy and “intelligent direction of affairs was acknowledged. But it is for the housew!fely virtues of the genuine old-fashioned Hoosjer type that Mr. Ralston is most noted, and for the skill and ease with which she con- ducts ‘the ways of her furm, espe- clally in the raising of chickens. She carries off the blue ribbons at all the poultry sho: and when there are surplus eggs, she nets. a ilne price for them und always has a long walting list of patrons. Her broilers and friers are in constant demand and when she decides to° kill off the older hens to make room for the young pullets, a season of unusua! activity in the making of salad and chafing dish parties sets in about the Michigan road farm where the Ral- stons reside.

Already many of those for- tunate emough to be able to choose their climate have run away from the raw winds and blizzards of the north to bagk In the warmth, color. and brilliance of the Florida East Coast, and to dabble their toes in the gulf stream. ‘The season will not be in full swing, of course, until the opening of the Royal Poinclana Hotel in January. but the Poinclana's little sister, the Breakers, began to receive visitors on | the 20th, and is filling up rapid- ottages and villas of the are also occupled and there 18 much visiting back and forth. One of the most interesting women of the regular colony here is Mrs. Edward T. Stotesbury of Philadelphi: whose beautiful estate, El Mirasol, b tween the ocean and Lake Worth, is one of the show places of Florida. Mrs. Stotesburry’s Characteristics. . §rs. Stotesbury is considered some- what eccentric by the strictly con- ventional. who are till a little un- sure of thefr position. She is mnot afrald to. announce her opinion on any subject and she will back it up with action. The story goes that her opinion on a question of the rights of labor once came near to prostrat- ing the other members of the Stotes. bury famlly. As the labor people told it to Samuel Gompers on his recent visit here, Mrs. Stotesbury “took the bit in her teeth” and settled a di pute in faver of the bollermakers, for which deed they elected her to memberahip in the union. A card in the bollermakers' unfon is perhaps the most unusual membership tap a society leader ever had, and Mrs. otesbury values it as one of h cholcest possession This active lady has been installed at E sol for a month and now is engaged in ziding the other “reg- ulars” in 4 campaign to secure lifa- suving devices for - the private beaches. Edward B. McLean of Washington has not yet opened his cottage, but is expected this vear as usual.

A nine-foot ehark wae landed a few days ago at the Breakers' pier and the other day a surprised fisherman pulled a wriggling octopus iu_on his hook. to the great disgust of his fash- ionable lady, who covered her face with her ringed hunds and shrieked aloud. They are truly disgusting obj thes opi, and Neptune ought to be ashamed of himself for letting them live. Fo tuniately they are not numerous in these waters, however. One of the keenest fisherinen here- abouts is Frank Daniels, the comedia Andrea Boncompagni, has rejoined his regiment and is now serving in Turin. Mr. and Mrs. BEdward Laurence Doheny passcd through Washington a few days ago with their guest the Honorable Anita Welr and her sister, the Honorable Teabella, daugh- ters of Lord Inverforth, who had been visiting them in Californfa. It had been their intention to take in some of the sights of the capital and to thelr ‘compliments o the chate laine of the British embuassy, but the visitors were summoned home rather hurriedly by the illness of their father. “Knowing heny through previo: fornia, they had hoped to J in a trip to Mexico and perhay Yucatan to Panama. But traveling In the southern republics does not yet appear to be an affair for pleas- ure, and now rarely planned except for urgent business, so beyond a brief excursion into Southern Cali- fornia, the Honorable Anita and Is bella Weir have not seen the land of their désives. They are intrepid tra elers and have several times pen into the regions bevond the British jurisdiction about Cape Town and into the desert which iles south of the Barbary states.

The London press seethes with excitement over the in- creasing number of tablets, busts and statues in the British capital and jacent rural districts, and vainly tries to call a halt. It has been pointed out by many British public- ists that the great monument in Trafalgar Square is too ostentatious for its purpose, since the realm passed through many worse crises than that represented by the Nelson victory over the Napoleonic fleet, and that now the memorials of the late conflict threaten to occupy every avallable spot in the islands. The quaint little city of Gloucester has taken these suggestions to heart, and in honoring the memory of its gal- lant regiments almost wiped out in the last drives of the summer and autumn of 1918 the memorial is, ta ing the form of a handsome fountain in the French village of La Boiselle, where &0 many fell. This artistic fountain is the central point of arn excellent svstem of providing water for the villagers, and s in reality pump with a cleverly devised move- ment. The committee which is over- looking these war memorials and giving them a direct supervision rate this fountain at La Boiselle as the most practical yet conceived, and the four miles of good roads outside of Urbana, Ohio, also & world war memo- rial, is given second place in this crusade to rid all countries of these futile cenotaphs, tablets, urns and statues.

Not a ducal household now boasts of the gold-laced, satin-clad individuals who lent color to the fetes for hundreds of years past, and other lesser nobles have naturally followed this example. There _are ‘some gorgeous military uniforms, like the “Beef Eaters,” who guard the crown jewels in the Tower of London at Whitehail, and such places, but none in domestic service are now seen except in dark clothes, sometimes with distinguishing but- tons and coCkades. Washington h: had but few liverled servants in ten years past. Baron Rosen, when am- bassador from Russia, had four su- perb-looking Cossacks gayly clad in satin and velvets, but these were the last even in the Russian establish- ments. . George Bakhmeteff, the last czarist ambassador, had Persian servants, with no distinguishing mark except their fezes. NOTED SEA CAPTAIN DEAD. BALTIMORE, ' December 30.—Capt S.
