Among the accomplished diplomats
of Germany who will entertain Prince
Henry, brother of the kaiser, in Wash
ington is DR.. Theodore Won Holleben.
the German ambassador, who has oc-
cupied his present post since Nov. %,
1897. He is the second in the embas
sadorial corps and upon the retirement
of Lord Pauncefote will become the
dean. Before his service as embassa-
dor he was minister at Washington
from 1889 to 1891.
Herr Won Holleben is a native of
Bremen and graduate of Heidelberg,
says the New York World. He took
his final degrees as doctor of laws at
the institution. He was educated eS-
pecially for the diplomatic service and
is one of the best grounded of interna-
tional lawyers. While at Heidelberg
Won Holleben was distinguished as
one of the most successful of the uni
versity dueists. His countenance
shows the marks of the swords used
by the German students in these di-
versions.
The German ambassador is a con
firmed bachelor. Herr Won Holleben
is probably sixty years of age. but is
erect and agile, albeit of a short. round
figure. His hair is brown and his COM
pleXion ruddy.
Count Albert Won Quadt- Wykradt-
Isny is the first secretary and counsel
of the embassy. He is the only mem
Der of the diplomatic corps whose
name appears in the Almanach de Go
tina. He is one of the mediatiZed Ger
man princes, whose family tree is as
old as the hills. The Countess Quadt
is of an ancient Italian family.
The count and countess came to
Washington in the fall of 1900 and
soon captured the hearts of all Wash
ingtonians. 1t is regretted that the
countess did not return to the United
States this year Her husband frankly
explains that he is far from being
wealthy and that it would be impossi-
BILE, from his resources, to return
1.-THE of the generous hospitality show
cred upon them. Therefore this inter
esting couple have solved the riddle
by the simple method of the countess
remaining at home in her ancestral
castle.
A conspicuous figure in the festivi-
ties will be Lieutenant Commander
Won Rebeur- Paschwitz. He entered the
German navy April 90, 1882, and has
been attached to the embassy at Wash
ington since the early part of 1900.
He returned to his native land in June
of 1900 and married Fraulein Dorothea
Bentogivni of Dresden. This lady dur
ing the absence of the Countess Quadt
is the chatelaine of the German en-
bassy. She will preside over any hos
pitalities which the ambassador may
give to which ladies are invited.
The remainder of the secretaries and
attaches of the German embassy are
handsome and interesting personages.
The embassy boasts of having the tall
est and best looking men in the corps.
With the exception of the ambassador,
the entire staff is composed of men
who measure six feet or more. They
are Count Won Montgelas, Ritmeister
Baron Won Kapp-Herr; Lieutenant Won
Shroen and Count Won Armin.
The German embassy is a substan-
tial red brick mansion which stands at
the center of the high terrace on Mas
sachusetts avenue, between Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets. 1t was purchas-
ed for the German government by Bar
on Won Thielman in 1896 and is fur
nished in rich and appropriate style.
The suit of apartments which has
been assigned to Prince Henry's use is
the western wing on the second floor

from the drawing room suit by wide
hall. which is adorned with medi9ya
armor and weapons. In his sitting room

in the German student days of the EN-
