Countess Moltke, the Boston born
wife OF the Danish minister, has
learned by experience that IT isn't the
easiest thing in the world to be the
American chstelaine of foreign lega-
ton in Washington, for her plans are
often thrown into confusion by the
death of some forty sixth cousin of
the sovereign of the nation her. husband
represents. The countess has been busy
for days recalling acceptances of in
vitations to entertainments to be given
IN New York, Boston and Washington.
BEFORE her marriage she was Miss
COrnella Thayer and great society
leader in Boston. Even now the coun-

clusion. Last winter the fragile health
OF her young son made her decline

issuing several on her own account.
When this winter approached she in

who is only eighteen years old was
before her marriage Miss Isabel Tang,
daughter of one of the foremost Chi
nese statesmen. She cannot remember
time when she did not know the
young man who is now her husband
They were betrothed in childhood but
married only three months ago In
contrast to the American HONEYMOON.
when the bride and groom give them
selves up to the pleasures of travel and
are extensively feted by their friends,
the young Chinese couple, with that
obedience to their parents so strictly
required in the Orient, have returned
to their studies. Every morning young
Mrs. Chang meekly takes her place
