An Inviting Assignment.

OF the posts In the British diplomatic
service this embassy az Rome is one Of
the most agreeable. Il carries with it
a large salary. some $4,000 year and
allowances, and a most delightful fur
nished residence the property Of tho
British government II is situated at
the extreme end Of the Via Yenti Set
tembre. odjoins the Portia Pia. designed
by Michael Angelo. and was originally
the villa Torlonia. The most charming
feature OF the embassy, however, is the
beauty and the extent Of its grounds,
which cover several acres. many OF the
trees being Of great girth-the growth
Of centuries. On the east side the gar
dens are bounded by the old Aurelian
wall. which rtill exists as the boundary
Of Rome. Flights Of stone steps lead up
from the gardens 20 a bower on the top
Of the wall, whence excellent views Of
the Campagna. Of the AlDan and Sabir
Hills and the distant Soratce are o
tained.

Riches an Inadequate Equipment.


Lord Currie's failure as ambassador
alike at Constantinople and Rome has
been due in the main TO his lack OF diplo-
matte training. The greater portion OF
his oriciaI career. extending over nearly
half century, has been spent in va
rious clerical positions at the foreign
omce in London. and he succeeded the
late Lord Pauncefote as permanent un-
der secretary Of state for foreign AZ
fairs. and displayed as such an amount
Of tact. acumen. and savoir faiTe which
seemed TO desert him when he became
ambassador.
Exceedingly rich through his silent
partnership in the great London bank
Of Glyu. Mills g. Co. he exchanged the
post OF secretary Of state for for
oisn affairs. which Is regarded as the
blue ribbon Of the British civil service,
for the embassy at Constantinople, on his
marriage with the widowed Mrs. Single
ton, well known in literature as a grace
ful poet under the pseudonym OF "Violet
Fame" The marriage marked the climax
of a romantic attachment of many years
duration-an attachment OF much the
same kind as that which existed be-
tween the present Duke and Duchess Df
Devonshire prior TO their union, and
when the duchess was still the consort
Of the old Duke Of Manchester.
