there have been rumorS every time a
change was made at the British embassy
in recent years that Sir Alan Johnstone
would be selected for the post of am

took the deepest interest was that of Miss

A foreign diplomat, twice married, who
has chosen both his brides from among
Miss Columbia's daughters, is Baron
Moncheur, who is Well remembered as
one of the most popular ENJOYS that Bel

OF the marriages of American women
with French diplomats few have attracted
greater attention than the wedding some
years ago of the daughter of the late
