lions during the last few days the bit
terness of the political fight has been
evidenced even in the receiving lines
where wives of the regulars acted as
hostesses. Upon the occasion referred
to the wives of prominent insurgent
members received more or less decided
snubs at the hands OF the women of
the other side, intended, no doubt, to
make the former feel the unpopularity
of the cause espoused by their hus-
bands.
At first the sights were not pro-
nounced, so the insurgent women, IN
a counsel Of war, decided to ignore the
GOODNESS and refused to be ostracized
from society in any such fashion. How
ever, at one reception, only a few days
ago the women in the receiving line de-
liberately turned their backs upon the
wife of a well known insurgent who had
called to pay her respects. This has
promoted much speculation among so
ciety women as to what the outcome
will be. Only time will tell.
Another American girl will soon ar
rive in Washington to preside over the
social destinies of a foreign govern
ment's official residence, when Senior
Riano, the new minister from Spain,
arrives with the fair sonora, who was
Miss Alice Ward, an American, and for
long time q resident of Washington.
Sonora Riano is the granddaughter of
Mrs. John S. Ward, with whom she
made her home prior to her marriage
to Senior Riano in 1902. Sonora Riano
will be the sixth American woman now
presiding over a foreign legation in
Washington. Count Won Bernstorff.

Jusserand, the French ambassador, are

Count Moltke, the Danish minister;
Count de Buisseret, the Belgian minis
ter, and Jonkheer T. Loudon, the
Netherlands minister.
The Countess Won Bernstorff was
Miss Jeanne Luczmeyer of the New
York family of that name. The ease
with which the members OF the kaiser's
family have adapted themselves to the
social life of Washington, and the i'm

is a refutation of stern Count Bis

in Paris, her native city. Nine. JUS
serand's popularity has grown steadily,
and no one in diplomatic circles has a
wider circle Of admiring friends than
she. The military attache of the
French embassy, Count de Chambrun,
likewise has an American wife. She
was Miss LOngworth of Cincinnati
sister of Representative Longworth.
One of the most fascinating of for
eign households is that of Count Carl
Moltke, the Danish envoy, who was
married several years ago to Miss Cor
nelia Thayer, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathaniel Thayer of Boston. Miss
Thayer had borne prominent part in
the smartest of the young sets of Bos-
ton, and she speedily established her
self as a social faYOrite in her hus-
bands circle at Copenhagen. With the
advent Of the MOltkes. the Danish lega-
ton took on a social significance it had
not enjoyed for many years, for Count
Moltke's predecessor was a bachelor,
which necessarily limited his hopitali
ties more or less.
A beautiful diplomatic hostess, who is
counted as Washington girl, Is Nine
LoudOn, wife the Netherlands minis
ter, who was Miss Lydia Eustis,
daughter of the former senator from
Louisiana. For two seasons the minis
ter and Nine. Loudon have enjoyed a
constantly increasing popularity. Miss
Kinen, Nine. LoudOn's niece, has also

Nine. Loudon's sister is the wife Of
Josef Hoffman,, the musician.
The wife of the Belgian minister
Count de Buisseret, was an army girl
Miss Caroline Story, daughter of Gen
eraI John P. Story, retired. She was
one of the greatest bellies in army and
residential circles a few years ago, and
was warmly welcomed when Count de
Buisseret was sent to represent the
Belgian crown in this country.
