His friends informed him of the appoint
ment of the officials who are to assist the
Russian plenipotentiaries at the peace con-

The baroness and her daughter speak
English well as they speak Russian and
French. The whole family is very demo-

that were looked after by half dozen
servants, were passed through the custom

that city at the Hotel Touraine a few days
before proceeding to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

His Wife and Daughter.
With the baron was his wife, the Baron
ter, Elizabeth, young woman who. If she
stays in this land long enough, is likely
to fill the important place in Washington

Countess Cassini.

ffty-five years old, of spare build, with a
keen eye and quick STEP He wears short
reddish gray Beard that at times is care

the bay yesterday he puffed necessarily at
a long Russian cigarette as he drank in in
tently all that was told him.
The baroness is a motherly looking wom-
an who, in spite of her dgnified bearing,
seemed to enjoy the interest that was taken
in herself and her family. She was dressed
in Paris gown and eagerly inquired about
all that had happened since the party had
left the other side Her daughter, appar-
emily possesses all the grace that charac-
terizes her mother and will. doubtless in
