HER KNOWLEDGE WAS POWER.
Familiarity with the Chinese Language
Made Woman Countess.

One of the unmarried women in dip
lomatic circles at Washington is the
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the ac-
complshed niece of the Russian am
bassador, who is a countess in her
own right, not by heredity but by the
special grace of the czar, and curl
Gus story is told of the manner in
which she won her title. 1t was when
Count Cassini had his fateful confer
ence with Ii Hung Chang at Pekin,
long before the boxer trouble. The
counts interpreter was away, for LIS
call was unexpected, and as the Chi
nese statesman could not speak Rus
sian and the Russian diplomat did
not understand Chinese the conference
came to deadlock. The counts
niece, who had picked up something
Of the language, stepped into the
breach and the affair was arranged to
tl.c satisfaction of both parties. The
Chinese empress loaded her with pres
ents, the cars government made a
note of the service performed, and
wien there was question a couple of
years ago of the young lady's prece
dence at Washington, where the count
was then ambassador, the cZar himself
confoundcd her rivals by making her
countess. This was something like
:agid rsuIrcii1n for the lady.

Coming back to the Creole names
to which | have referred, | cannot
find any good reason. or reason of any
sort, for that matter, for their exist

Creole sc"cas, with rather delicate
regard for euphony. Many of them
are fascinatingly soft and musical
Here, for instance. are the names OF
negro women | have known on some
of the plantations in southern Louis

Bobite. Bella. Sogo, and Grigo, while
have known men who toiled in the
field, back, ugly, awkward fellows
who answered to the names Sacata
Pito, Faloute, Chinon. Papoute, Cherce
and so on Ii some of these names
there is just suggestion of Spanish
and some of them, no doubt, owe their
origin to Spanish sounds combined
with certain other sounds peculiar to
the French tongue. The meaning Of
these names | do not know, but tley
are pretty and euphonious, if properly
pronounced. | suppose this is why
