6 I BY MARGARET B. DOWNI'G. Mr. Ricaard Ford, United States con- #ul at Seville, is’ the author of that charming article on the picturesque Andalusian city which appeared in the March number of the Geognghle Ma azine, and in consequence he is the object of more attention from visitors than he can afford to lose from the| routine of the day. Mr. Ford once on a time intended to pursue journalism as a career. Completing, his studies in Texas, he went to the University of | Missouri, at Columbia, wheré an ex- cellent school had been established. But war was in the air, 50 he deserted the Third Estate for the Boston Tech, and when this country finally entered the world conflict he became an aviator and passed a thrilling two years. In 1022 he took the examination for the consular service with brilliant success. In seven years he has been promoted from the foot of. the ladder as vice con- sul to consul at the important commer- cial center of Andalusia. Having the literary instinct well developed, Mr. Ford has made some interesting studies of the vast tobacco factory of Seville, where some 3,000 women work from 8 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening. The cigarette factory occupies a vast boroque building facing on San Fernando street, erected by a famous Spanish architect, Wandenvilla. in 1757. In a tree-lined street behind it in the middle 1830's lived Prosper Merimee, who made many visits to the SOCIETY.’ on their minds and feeling unable to cope with 50 accomplished a bend of slashers, the register has been given up in the American exhibit. - * kK * Capt. Curtis D. Alway, U. 5. A, who was appointed commandante of the Army Band which made the journey from Washington to take part in the Seville fiesta, can vouch for another amusing, | though somewhat embarrassing, local | | custom. When the Army Band was due, it was found that all chairs which could be used in the exposition grounds were controlled by & concessionaire, and he would permit them to be used only on condition that each chair used would be taxed one peseta, or about 15 cents. Hence the brilllant assembl ‘which heard the opening concert had to yield the price, much to the astonishment of | the residents of the United States, whol had regarded themselves as the guests | of their native land. This feeling has | increased with the relays of energetic Americans who, having inspected the bulldings, proceed to the garden and seat themselves for the concert. e result has been to keep many away from the excellent music. This is not caused so much by the small fee, but through a failure to understand why any Government band should ask any | sort of price to hear it. Capt. Alway is | naturally exasperated that any criticism about this should attach to his musical | organization, since he and its members | are as innocent as if they had remained factory when he was writing “The Loves | In Washington. But it must be 15 cents | of Carmen” on which the libretto of Bizet's opera was founded. The mam- moth entrance on San Fernando street | and the great square adjacent were | presented in livid outline by Meri- | mee and accurately produced by the scenic artists for the opera. Many gather as the workers leave, but they | are not treated to such exciting scenes as they doubtless expect. EE The vice consul at Seville and Mrs.| Gerald Keith in normal times dispense | the traditional hospitality to the hun- dred and more permanent residents of the city who retain their American citi- genship. Mr. Ford and the junior vice consul, Mr. Raymond Richards, are| bachelors, and they reside in a hotel | adjacent to the consulate. Mr. and Mrs. Keith live in a delightful villa gection facing the turbulent River Quadalquiver and overlooking Seville| from an eminence. To the left is the Park of Maria Louisa, where the expo- | sition has been located. When all the buildings and debris attending euch in | activity have been cleared away the| beautiful United States consular dwell- ing will be in the center of other such homes. and the offices will be removed from the noisiest part of the city. The entire lower floor will be given over to business, but the -atio and cloisters may be used jointly for social purposes by the consul and vice consul, whose | living quarters are in two separate| suites on the second floor. This Nation did not emulate the S-anish habit of jmmgnse buildings in its consulate. There is abundant room for all pur- poses, but none to spare. Mre Keith owns Minnesota as her natal place, and was Miss Helen Woodward. Mr. Keith 1s of Brockton, Mass., and Mr. Richards | s from Rockland, Mich. P Former Gov. Campbell of Arizona, who has been the resident commissioner of the United States to the Seville ex- position, and the various aides have dis- covered thing or. two about “gate crashing” and autograph pilferers that would make the most enterprising ex- pert in the Western World open his eves. About “gate crashing,” all the officials of the Government who have been in Seville say that they believe that the forced entrance is caused by a consuming desire to know all about the wonderful Western country, and as the uninvited * are most unobtrusive and aquiet and polite to a degree, there seems | to be nothing that can be done. Gov. Campbell has been asked by irritated American visitors’ why he has kept no register, that a knowledge might be gleaned of those who have tome previ- ously, and his answer has been a merry gust of laughter. On the opening day an ornate gyest book was placed in the main hall by lh': Ké;:nslil(la:fl nnél &: its wirgin e wrote the g AN een of Spl‘::l.‘ four of their children, the military dictator, Primo de Rivera. In fact, four pages of the most important signatures in the peninsula were in evi- dence. But, behold, when everfing had | come and the rush ceased, Gov. Camp- bell called for the book d all the written pages had been neatly clipped out, and only blank sheets confronted him. Disappointed, but undaunted, the register was placed in the hall again and a special guardian put over it. Hundreds came and went, some celebri- | ties among them, and again the pages | were cut out. A third attempt was made with the same result, so, not to have it a t:\uix or stand through the entire con- cert, | 5 Col. Robert E. Olds, former Under- | secretary of State, and Mrs. Olds, after | & lengthy motor tour of France and | Spain, are following a program which makes a special appeal by returning to Paris in order to address the French children who assemble annually at the Suresnes Cemetery to honor the heroic dead from this Republic interred in this icturesque spot. Col. and Mrs. Olds lived in Paris through the participa- tion of this country in the World War, the former as director of Red Cross activities in France and Mrs. Olds de- voted to the welfare of the war orphans. Although the main decoration of Amer- ican graves began on May 30 and with most impressive services, the children | organized by Mrs. Olds about the end of 1918 and through 1919 have a spe- clal day of their own. Gen. Pershing, who makes it a duty, unless impera- tively needed elsewhere, likewise takes part in the juvenile fete as weil as in the more formal ohservance. Repre- sentatives of the Ameri Legion are present and the children make the long march to the tomb of Lafayette in the memorial crypt in Garches, accompanied by Gen. Pershing. Col. and Mrs. Olds and Col. Francis E. Drake. Suresnes. now one of the solemn, secluded bur places of France, was, during the revo- lution, the scene of a supplementary guillotine activity, the Place de la Con- corde, as it is now known, having be- come congested. the unfortunate prison- ers were taken to the suburb in the same dread trumbils used in the heart of Paris and after execution were hurriedly buried in the old cemetery. Lafayette, who survived the terror for more than 40 years, was. at his own request. in- terred near by it in a crypt in which his wife aiso lies. * ok %k Mr. and Mrs. John North Willys, the former one of the country’s promi- nent automobile manufacturers, have | been for same months denizens of Lon- don, and the marriage of their daughter, Miss Virginia Willys, to M. Luis M. Aguirre of Paris was a brilllant social event of last month. The wedding took place in the home of Mr. Willys in | Carlton Terrace and was attended by a brilliant throng of resident Amerieans, including many of the embassy staff. M. Aguirre is a barrister of Paris and is the nephew of Mme. Martinez, a handsome hostess from Argentina, who maintains an all-the-year home in Rue Vietor Martin. Mr. Willys, who had made a hasty visit to the United States in order to be present at the reception which President Hoover recently ten- dered to automobile magnates, returned just in time for the wedding and to send the bridal couple forth in a machine especially constructed for them. The French ignore the claim that Indiana was the scene of the entrance of the gas-driven motor and appropriate that honor for Abbe Hamel, who, according to their documents, constructed an auto- mobile which really made a few spas- modic efforts to run before that of Kokomo, Ind., was announced. 4 Gen. Petain, according to the opinion of French observers, will be invited into the French Academy of the Immortals to take the vacant place of Marshal Foch.

He knew Presi- dent Hoaver only as Secretary of Com- merce but he knew President Taft well and during the eight years of Woodrow Wilson he obtained a clearer view of his complex character than perhaps any diplomat of the time. But M. Jusserand had never taken to dissecting characters in the way which has found favor with many present day writers.
