Tt will be “hail and farewell” for ome of the most distinguished mem- of the diplomatic corps who will estdent and Mrs. Coolldge and mbled cabinet families in the aden and flag-bedecked White e on New Year morning. The venerable and universally esteemed » corps, the French Am- Jusserand; the distin- n noble and eminent en- Gelasio Caetani, the Ital- ian and the quiet and capable German, Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt, all are homeward bound within the next month.

Sir Auckland eddes of the ? or, guished Rom gineer, Dor the first unveiled Eastern lady to come into the corps, and she and her young daughter, Mlle. Lutfia, are among the msst accomplished of the diplomatic hostesses. Both mingle with absolute freedom in the frivols as well as in the more serious func- tions, and both are splendid tennis players, are good horsewomen and can take a hand in any game of cards. The Irish minister, Dr. Timothy Smiddy, is a former professor of eco- nomics in the University of Ireland and is a ripe scholar as well as a most genial and kindly gentleman. Dr. Smiddy is in Dublin af present, having been summoned because of an unexpected economic crisis. He and his family are expected to re- turn the first part of February.

She is an Italian princess by birth, though partly English besides, her father having been the Karl of Newburg. with a seat in the Houso of Lords, as well as the head of a great Roman family. Lady Isabella entertains with consummate grace, and she is bilingual in her use of English and Italian, besides speaking several con- tinental tongues perfectly. There are many other Britons here, members of Sir Esme's staff, who are dominant figures in the social world and who have been gesidents for several yerrs. With such a vast group of 450 mem- bers, the corps must necessarily di- vide into smaller groups, and these are nearly all on the logical raclal lines. The latin Americans are by far the largest, and with the de- parture of the French Ambassador and the promotion of the Spanish to the deanship, the Chilean Ambassa- dor, Senor Mathieu, becomes vice dean as well as dean of the Pan- American nations. Thus the corps is in the hands of the Spanish group, the dean from the mother country and the vice dean from Spain's oldest and most important former colony, Chile. The Latin Americans have @ compact and most delightful social organization, and their dinings, dan ing fetes and family celebrations o cur unceasingly throughout the year and bring together a congenial con- tingent of their people. Senor and Senora Olaya, from Colombia, are most important in the South Ameri- can division and their fiestas occur very frequently.
