S Social Activ Mme. Jusserand Expected To Visit at White House During Stay in Capital One-Time Chatelaine of the French Embassy Will Arrive Next Month for Unveiling . of Memorial to Late Husband. bt THE Bresident and Mrs. Roosevelt will probably have as thelr OCIETY. guest for a short stay in November Mme, Jusserand, widow of the late former French Ambassador to this country. Mme. Jusserand will come from her home in France to attend the un- veiling of a marble bench in Rock Creek Park as a memorial to her late husband. Rock Creek Park was fittingly selected as the Jocation for the placing of the bench, for it was near Pierce Mill that the distin- guished diplomat and Mme. Jusserand made frequent walks. Jusserand was French Ambassador to this country for 22 consecu- tive years, establishing a record of longest continuous assignment in the history of the Washington diplomatic corps. The Ambas- sador was for many years dean of the diplomatic corps and during his stay the French Embassy was ever a pright spot, Mme, Jus- serand, who shared in her husband’s popularity, is beloved in Washington and her visit here is keenly anticipated. She was for- merly Miss Elsie Richards and was born in this country. In telling of Mme. Jusserand’s proposed visit to the Capital, Mrs. Roosevelt in her press conference today related that M. Jusserand was a close friend of her uncle, President ‘Theodore Roosevelt, and quite frequently the two went for a stroll near the spot where the memorial bench is to be placed. Though small 1n stature the diplomat was quite an athlete, Mrs. Roosevelt recalled. and was an experienced mountain climber. The memorial bench is of pink Massachusetts granite and will be placed just south of Pierce Mill. Dr. Franklyn Paris of New York, chairman of the Jusserand Memorial Committee, has been prominent in making arrangements for the memorial. Mr. Joseph Freedlander, New York architect, designed the bench. M. Jusserand was held in great esteem by not only the members of his corps, but by all who knew him. At the time of his illness and death in July, 1932, Mme. Jusserand was the recipient of many messages of sympathy, not only from official Washington, but from their host of friends in residential circles.
