Diplomatic Service
Here Seasoning for Presidency,

sisters of tho United States, and Il few
years OF diplomatic service here is ated
a necessary seasoning for Presidential
timber.

soning In 1901 when he represented his
country In Washington. He has recently
retired from successful admtnistra-
ton as President OF Panama, and his
successor Is no leas r person than Senior
Naldes, who also served as minister to
the United States.
Where are few honors that his country
can confer which have not fallen into

are pleasantly remembered for their
hospitality and charm.
Shortly after DIR. Porras first was ap-
pointed minister at Washington Sonora
de Porras was married to him by proxy,
the first marriage by proxy ever solemn
lied In the Diplomatic Corps in Wash
ington. The minister was not able to
go to Porto Rico for his bride. and
duct of gentlcwomen of her country
would not admit OF her coming here
before her marriage.
Therefore. an intimate friend repre-
sented the minister at the ceremony,
and after that Sonora dc Porras sailed
for New York, where she was met by
her "vrai" Bridegroom. Not long after
ward they went to Panama that the
minister might enter the campaign for
President.
1t Is possible that this country is fur
nishing a post graduate course for AN
other diplomat of Panama. for It is
whispered that Don ]. r. Lefevre, first
secretary and frequently charge daft
fairies of the legation here. is in limo
for one OF the first promotions to the
rank OF minister under the new Pres-
dent. OF course, the natural sequence
would be his return here at some later
day as minister, and mayhap his mar
riage to an American girl. Mr.. Lefevre's
father. Henry Lefevre, fought in our
civil war; and many members of his
family have held important places in
this country.

Speculation About Haste
OF Ambassador Sato.

There was considerable speculation In
town as TO Just why Ambassador Sato.
newly accredited here from Japan. was
In such haste to present his credentials
to the President that he sped to Shadow
Lawn for the purpose. as he did last
Monday. But Won see Tuesday was the
Emperor's birthday. II was very desir-
able that the embassy should have an
official head in good aud regular
standing for the celebration OF that
suspicious occasion. and until a newly
appointed ambassador has been pre-
ented TO sthe Chief Executive he isn't
actually and completely amba ssador.
So Mr.. Sato went TO Shadow Lawn,
and next day the Son of Heaven was
, toasted and the giories OF Japan was
celebrated In proper form. A reception
for the Japanese residents Of Wash
ington and in the evening a dinner
party for the embassy staff. This was
the program, a purely Japanese cele-
bration, az you see. and I couldn't help
thinking how considerate OF the En-

ated the statement that there would be
a good deal OF entertaining there this
winter. and have heard 1T limited that
the countess was sent over by the pow

purpose OF inaugurating an elaborate
social program. Certain II Is that she
has been In Germany ever since the war
started and ms her daughter Ia there and
her boy, Count Gunther Won BcrnStorff
at the front, 1t must have been wrench
for her to leave the country.
However this may be. there is socially
a distinction with a decided difference
between an embassy occupied intermt-
tentiy by a bachelor ambassador and
the same embassy under the gracious rule

storff's charm and personality. Many of
Countess von~ Bernstorff's close friends

pealing.

prospect. Her present plan includes

and a return here about Christmas
time for month or more. Then
later in the winter she will take a
trip In the South and West.
During her short stay here she has
been occupied with many interesting
activities. Did you ever know the
time when she didn't have at least
a dozen perfectly thrilling enter
prises on hand? Last week she hob
nobbed intermittently with the
Washington Square Players. seeking
TO perfect some arrangement where
by they might give us q regular

been devoting some attention to the
