Washington, March 25.-(Special)
The American home is making it's
influence felt in the world of dtplo-
macy. Through the medium of the
American wife Of the foreign diplo-
mat, the CHEEKY CRATE fire, emblem of
the national domesticity, is casting
its ruddy glow over the policies of
nations as far apart, geographicaIly
and gOvernmcntally, as France and
Persia.
The ambassadors of three Of the
greatest nations represented at
Washington have American wives,
while ministers of lesser nations and
minor diplomatic aids almost without
number are similarly blessed. All
these women have established homes
more or less American in nature, and
from them radiates IN Influence which
can hardly be calculated.
The three most notable of these
American women playing a part in
world affairs are Nine. Bakhmctieff,
Mime. Jusserand and Countess Won
Bernstorff, wives respectively Of the
Russian, the French and the German
ambassadors to the United States,
Nine. Bakhmetieff, is perhaps one Of
the most heroic figures among the
women in diplomacy. Before mar

Miss Jean Lukemeyer of New York,
The countess is eminently practical
n capable. Since coming to Wash
ington, she has taken charge of her
husbands large library, cataloguing
1T and paving close attention to pub
lishers' lists and book reviews for
her aid in the purchase of additional
volumes. Partly for this
and partly for her own information,
she spends much time in the Congress
sional library.
Because of her American birth and
her long residence in London when her
husband served there, she is in great
sympathy with the Notwithstanding
race, a trait which her husband also
possesses. She is especially familiar
with social and economic questions
which now puzzle America, not only
through her reading, but through lee
lures, which she has ~assiduously at
tended.
