mentioned. By this act of Count Cas-
SIM his grand niece becomes the first
lady in the diplomatic corps, as she is
the mistress of the embassy presided
over by its dean.
Count Cassini is punctilious in his
diplo- Latte duties. and never neglects
the slightest point in international
etiquette He is regular caller at the
State Department on Diplomatic Day
and at all the official functions at the
White House or public occasions

quent will receive slight admonition

Tea Served
In Tall Glasses
And Favored With Lemon.
Ambassador Cassini has established
at the embassy the Russian custom of
tea drinking. Every afternoon at 5
O'Clock he has tea served in his office,
and the members of his embassy, his
personal friends and any person who
may happen to call are invited to par
take and enjoy a sociable half hour.
The tea is served in tall glasses, set in
silver standards, land is prepared in
real Russian style with lemon.
Those who have tasted it say its de-
licious flavor and genial influence are
produced by few drops of Russian
cordial which the Ambassador annu
ally brings from home, along with
many other appetizing delicacies. The
tea which Count Cassini uses is all
specially imported from China.
AS the diplomats pay no duty on
anything they bring to this country,
they return from vacations home with
many boxes and cases filled with eat
ables. There are always home dishes
which the foreigners are unable to get
in this country. The Countess Cas-
SIM, when asked on her arrival in this
country last fall what they brought
with them from abroad, significantly
replied: ooh, horse and buggy,

to make the attempt, the Ambassador

declines, he will say: "Ah, but take

Ambassador, is Of Italian de-
~ scent, of Russian birth, and
looks like an Englishman. Just
now he is in the limelight on Wash
ington's diplomatic stage, both as Dean
of the Diplomatic Corps, and as a
prominent actor in the Oriental drama
that is running its course with Russia
and Japan playing the leading parts.
Diplomats are seldom without fads
and fancies, and Count Cassini is not
an exception to the rule.
He is lover of dogs, and his splen-
did embassy building is the home OF
several, who roam at will through the
par1ors, boudoirs and the palatial
rooms.
He is thorough Russian in his de-
votion to the cigarette, and one OF
his hobbies is to introduce the Gus
tom of smoking this seductive form OF
tobacco among American women.
He possesses the Russian habit OF
tea drinking, and is rival of the Jap
anese Minister in the excellence OF
the beverage he drinks and dispenses
at his hospitable embassy.
These are the principal foibles Of
one of the most adroit diplomats in
Washington, and one who exercises
great influence in the diplomatic corps
through being its dean.
Perhaps the Russian Ambassador is
the best known of all his diplomatic
colleagues, as he is rather democratic
in his tastes and movements and is
frequently seen in public places, at the
theatre, driving about the streets anc
strolling from embassy to embassy OF
to the State Department, where he
has been an almost daily visitor fol
many weeks.
Count Cassini
Is of Striking Personal
Appearance.
He is striking in appearance, and at
tracts attention whenever he appear:
in public. He is just little lame anc
walks with a slight halt, but his steI
is the swinging one of an English
gentleman accustomed to walking, anc
as he moves along in nonchalan
way he can be heard generally hum
ming tune while he twirls his walk
ing stick. He is somewhat nearsight
ed, and to correct his sight wears
monocle in his right eye, thus adding
strikingly to his resemblance to
typical Englishman.
Count Cassini is a social lion il

For a Century
The Cassini Family
Has Been Russian.

The Counts branch of the family
has. been in Russia for century, and
his title is derived from that Govern
ment and is not descended from his
Italian family, as has been reported.
He was for nine years secretary in the
St. Petersburg Foreign Office, his first
foreign service being Charge DAT
flares in Saxony He was first sec
rotary of Legations and Embassies in
several European cities, and was made
Minister to North Germany In 1890
he was sent as Minister to China.
where he remained until 1896, when
he was appointed as Russian repre-
sentative in Washington, the post hav-
ing been raised to an Ambassador
ship. His work in China is especially
notable He negotiated treaties which
are of the greatest value to Russia and
of interest to all nations which have
trade relations with China.
