ington TO the sort Of entertaining
for which the Italian embassy has
become famous during the present
regime. From the moment one pulls
the bell-and even this detail is
unique-one finds the embassy a
little different from any other house
in Washington, and always charm
ing. This was true of the Hearst
mansion, and is even more true OF
the Italian embassy.
And IN the hostess of the embassy
society has found just this same
piquant difference and charm. When
they arrived the Baroness Mayor
des Planches had little English. but
that is a disadvantage which time
has been eliminating Now her
English is perfectly understandable
though she still speaks with a de-
cided accent.
Her first function was a ball for
Miss Alice Roosevelt early in 1902,
shortly after the latter's debut And
from that time on there has never
been a Monday during the season
when there has not been a big din
ner. or reception. or an entertain
ment of some sort at the Italian
embassy, generally winding up with
a dance.

beauty Of the room and the adapta-

10 delightful tete-a-tetes have more
than balanced its sOmberness in Ihs
minds of the young people of the
diplomatic SET.
But il is not the house so much
as the personality of its hostess that
has made the Italian embassy such
a social center for the last few sea-
sons. The baroness is always ex-
oIisitely dressed. and she wears on
occasion jewels worth a kings ram

side the Washington
season rather Lays Fer yz:tt: ne re-
call of Count Cassini Baron Mayor
des Planches became the dean Of the
Diplomatic Corps in Washington and
the baroness the social leader of the
diplomatic set officially. as she
had been practically for many
moons. 1t rather looks now as if
the season would have TO go on it's
way leaderless, for a while at any
rate. Baron Mayor des Planches,
who went home last summer for a
much-needed rest, is not sufficiently
restored TO health TO return TO duty
yet, and at the embassy they say no
date has been fixed for his return.
The present ambassador arrived IN
this country just about four years
ago, succeeding Baron Fava At the
time OF his, appointment here be was
simply Signor Mayor des Planches,
the title having been conferred upon
him subsequently, The newcomers
at once took the social rank to
which their position officially entit-
led them. They shone by force of
contrast with the Favas, even before
their own charming personalities
had won them popularity. The
Favas had done practically no enter
tanning. When they first came they
lived in very mean quarters, con

elaborate entertainers and social
leaders. The Italian government
purchased as it's Washington head

the Italian embassy established
itself. Baron Mayor is a wealthy
