MANY TROUBLES

York. The return home Of Prince
Won Bulow, ambassador from Ger
many to Rome, has brought more
than diplomatic difficulties into the
beautiful Villa Malta, home of the
Won Bulows, in Via Porta Finciana
The coming Of Prince Won Bulow
who has taken the place Of German
Ambassador Won Bul0w, has, of
course, aroused much comment con,
corning Germany's subtlety in re-
turning i man TO Italy WHO has al
ways showed SO marked a love foq
Rome
Comment, however, has not told OF
the private and social sorrows of the
Won BulOws who do not hesitate to
say how sad a homecoming this re-
turn to Villa Malta has been.
Before the war Princess Won Blu
low claimed as her three most init
mate friends Lady Rodd, wife of Sir
Kennel Rodd, British ambassador
Madame Barrere, wife of the French
ambassador and Madame Krupinski
wife Of the Russian ambassador The
first one to greet the Princess on her
return home after various absences
always was the ladies of the now
antagOnlstic ambassadors. Now
these old time friends can see each
other no more, for they are the wives

cess for an informal visit with Mad

Now the personal JOY Of sincere

the absence Of Lady Rodd, of Mad

has left a deep wound in Princess
Won Bulow's cordial and sympathetic
nature.
