Jusserand, popular doyenne of the diplo- matic corps a few years back, was filled with lively conversation—mostly reminiscences—for all the parties given in her honor, included friends of very long standing. Mme. Jusserand, although of American parentage, is & native of Paris, where she lived for many years before her marriage, as always, remains typically French. At one of the “recollections-parties” Mme. Jusserand told of her daily walks with the Ambassador. Before she was married she consid- ered herself a very good walker, but the Jusserand family were “born walkers” and she soon discovered that they considered her merely a “limited” walker. In fact, she overheard them say one day that since the {-year-old niece was going out with them she could go, too! For example, the late Ambassador’s sister, now 80 years old, walks—for pleasure—10 kilometers into the country and returns by another route which is 11 kilometers, “just in an afternoon!” However, in spite of this, Mme. Jusserand was the late Ambassador’s frequent companion on his daily walks in Washington and through the nmearby country, When they lived in Washington, the Jusserands, with Mr. and Mrs. William Rockhill, were almost conspicuous in their long tramps. M. and Mme, Jusserand were such excellent walkers that during the Sum- mers they spent in Massachusetts they frequently walked from Man- chester to Gloucester and back—just for an afternoon stroll. Appar- ently their pace was leisurely, for they never hurried, and it is doubtful i/ they ever set a goal or a time limit, When the Ambassador and Mme. Jusserand came to Washington in 1903 they brougnt furniture with them for the embassy, the house at 1640 Rhode Island avenue, now known as the Admiral. When the French gove ernment purchased the house on Sixteenth street for its embassy, furnishe ings also were purchased, and Mme. Jusserand has retained much of the furniture which she and the Ambassador used in Washington. Her departure tomorrow is much regretted, but she has half-way promised not to let 13 years elapse before her next visit. * ko THERE is a slight uncertainty as to whether or not there will be enough guest rooms around for the mumber of out-of-towners who are coming to Washington for the Garrett party on November 28. Every day we hear of someone else who is going to be on hand. The latest report includes the lovely blond with those huge blue eyes, from Philadelphia, meaning Beatrice Patterson. Coming also from Phila- delphia is Tom Evans, and yesterday Barnmey Talbott, who was up here from Norfolk, informed us that he would not miss that party for any amount of money. From New York—or Long Island—will come, of course, Mrs. Garrett's sister, Mrs. Robert Clarkson and her very attractive husband; the David Bruces, the Ned Farleys, Tom Prindiville, and dozens of debutante jriends of Margot Garrett. The debutantes are not restricted to New York and Long Island. however, as Margot has lots of friends tn Pittsburgh and Chicago, also. Then, too, there will be any number of young men from Harvard, Yale and Princeton and still this is not by any means a complete list of the out-of-town guests * k% % \VILL RYAN'S French, as we all know, is perfect Parisienne—so perfectly Parisienne that the rolling of his r-r-rs are audible long after the sen- tence is terminated! Wandering into the cocktail bar of the Shoreham the other night, he ordered a whisky and a “cr-r-reme de menthe pour madame.” Seconds became minutes, and the said minutes ominously neared the quarter- of-an-hour mark, bringing the waiter empty-handed, accompanied by the maitre d'hotel. “Beg your pardon, sir. What was the order for the young | lady?" “A er-r-reme de menthe,” was the rolling, accented answer. A long | huddie of the waiters’ union followed, and & return sally—"“By any chance, do | You mean cream of mint, sir>” “Quite right, maitr-r-re.” Then, turning to his companion, Will asked, “Why didn't I think of that before?” | Mrs. Pollock Joins' Parents for Month Mrs. Agnes M.
