Few women are known and beloved IN
as many capitals of the world as is the
Countess Won Bernstorff, wife of the
Count Won Bernstorff. Germany's present
ambassador to the United States. The
quaint streets of Constantnople are as
familiar to the countess as are the splen-
did thoroughfares of Washington, her
present home. She knows picturesque
Cairo as well as she knows Paris. She is
equally at home in the drawing rooms of
Berlin and in the great houses of St
Petersburg. She has looked on the cathe-
dral spires OF London as OFTEN as on
those of Munich.
During the twenty-five years i'll which
Count Won Bernstorf has been rising to
one of the most eminent positions in the
diplomatic service of his country the Won
Bernstorffs have made their home for a
number of years in each of these cities
Consequently. the German embassy in
Washington, filled with rare and beauti-
full objects personally chosen from all
parts of the world by the count and
countess is one of the most interesting of
the foreign residences. To the great
drawing room of this embassy the taste
OF Countess Won Bernstorff has given the
imposing grandeur of an apartment OF
state and at the same time much of the
intimacy and charm of a living room.
The walls are hung with tapestries which
the countess collected from various Eu-
ropean capitals. On the floor are rugs
she found in Constantinople. Luxurious
divans. upholstered in warm rose tints;
artistic chairs, Towering plants and an
open grand piano make the place home
like, despite its spaciousness. A number
of pictures, one a head of Countess Won
Bernstorff, done by her friend. Franz Won
Stuck: another brilliant bit of color by
Moretti, and a third a landscape by Dyer,
add to the interest of the apartment.
Every other room in the embassy has
been furnished by the countess with the
same attention to detail and the same
faultlesS taste.

Women in English Offices.

From the London Chronicle.
Chief Justice Lee in 1887 delivered a
Judgment of considerable interest to
women. There We're two candidates that
year for the post of sexton of st. Boz
toiph's. Bishopgate-John Olive and Sarah
Bly, Although the latter obtained ma
jority of the parishioners' votes, her rival
was appointed, and she sought redress In
the courts. The chief justice ruled that
a woman might serve as parish sexton,
and added: Women have held much
higher offices. and indeed almost all the
offices of the kingdom, as queen, mar

similar work in homes where the supplies

HOMENARD VACATION RUSH
IS LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Fewer Persons Passing Through
Union Station at This Time Due
in Part to War, It Is Thought.

The homeward rush, since Labor day,
Of Washingtonians who have been on va
cation has not been quite as great, 1t was
reported at the Union station today, as
occurred within the few days after La
Dor day. last year.
Between $500 and 1900 pieces of bag
gage are now handled daily at the Union
station" said w. J. Ffttall, general bag
gage agent. He said, however, that the
number of pieces does not reach that
handled during the corresponding period
last year. Mr. F1ttall declared 1t his be-
lief that the decrease is due principally
to the war conditions in Europe. Many
people come through Washington on their
way to Europe. he said, and others re-
turn through here. but owing to the war
they are not travelling now. There are
others, he said, who lost their baggage in
Europe, and when they arrive here, of
course they have none for the railroads to
handle.
It Is reported that in many Of the larg-
er cities where there Is considerable man
ufactlring a. great many more travelling
statesmen are going out. in comparison
with other years. The heavier traffic in
this line is due to the fact. 1t Is stated,
that there Is a greater demand for do
nestle manufactures and the American
manufacturer is taking advantage of the
European war.
