M- Claudcl Hastens Plans for Assuming Post in Washington With Madame Claudel, New French Ambassador Tem- porarily Delayed by Daug}lter's Marringc. M. PAUL CLAUDEL. M. Paul Claudel, Senator Henri Berenger's successor as Ambassa- dor from the French republic to this Capital, has practically finished all necessary formalities connected with his departure from Toklo, and he salls shortly via the Suez Canal for France. For, before departing on his mission to Washington, he and Mme. Claudel have the pleasing task of preparing for the wedding of their eldest daughter, Mlle. Marie, to M. Alfred Bonami, for some time attached to the staff of the Ambessador, but for the past year in the foreign office in il’urhl. Mlle. Marle is the eldest of the fi children of the l‘lnndal«,_nnd she has been in a special way a éom- panion and literary aid to her father. M. Claudel has not maintained a home in Parls for many years. He has been away from his country with- out intermission since he entered con- sular service Iri 1893, with the excep- tion of four years, from 1908 to 1912, in which he was in charge of the Far Lastern policy in the -hureau of the minist of forelgn affairs. He and Mme. Claudel, therefore, face an arduous task in obtaining a home and preparing for the wedding, but it is anticipated they will arrive In Wash- ington before January is over. The incoming Ambassador from France is the foremost man of letters in the republic, and has won recog nition as a poet, especially in difficult form of odes, in prose and the drama. Hig literary following is not confined to France, though there he is consid- ered to ba the most influential man now writing. His dramas have a vogue in Germany equal to those of Bernard Shaw, and he has his circle in Italy, in Spain and many capitals of Latin America. In coming to the United States, the great poet and dramatist will discover that the Amer- fean people, though in few Instances students of French, have not been indifferent to his achievements. The Yale University Press somo years pub- | lished excellent translations of Clau- del's major works, and these hooks are to be found in many lbraries. He spent more than two years in New York and Boston in 1893 and 1895, and wrote a powerful drama of exile DRAPERY MATERIAL At Big Savings 40.inch French Marquisatte 50-inch Sunfast Damask. ch Sunfast Velour Window Shades, Slip Covers—FHous [ 1211 F 8t.

Claudel is a native of Villerieuve- sur-Fin, in the Alsne district, but his | parents had come to Picardy from the | Vosges. He recelved his collegiate education in the famous old College of St. Louis le Grand, the same school in which Count de Rochambeau made his later studies, and the alma mater of Charles Carrollton of Carrollton and the first Catholic bishop of Mary- land, John Carroll, and his brother, the Commissioner of the District, Daniel Carroll of Rock Creek. M Claudel took the regular course in the | school of political sciences, and enter- | ing the comsular service he has| climbed steadily in his profession, at the same time turning out poems, es says and dramas at a prodigipus rate A year. M. Claudel married the daughter of A celebrated architect of Lyons, Mile Relne Salute Perrin, and besides the future bride of M. Bonami, Marle Claudel, there are two sons, Pierre and Henrl, the former in Paris mak- ing his last studies at the university, and Henri, about 18, at a lycee near the French capital. There are two | vounger daughters, Reine and Renee, | who probably will accompany their | parents to Washington. M. Claudel | is the leader of the Catholic party in | France and is a most fervent cham. | pion of that faith. Mme. Claudel also | belongs to a traditionally Catholic fam- {ly and has many relat among the religious orders of France.
