his final degrees as doctor of laws at |

pecially for the diplomatic service and

tional lawyers. While at Heidelberg
Won Holleben was distinguished as
one of the most successful of the uni
versity dueIists. His countenance
shows the marks of the swords used
by the German students in these di-
versions.
The German ambassador is a con-
frmed 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

Washington in the fall of 1900 and
scon 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

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
