Mr.. sEorEenstierne Also HR
Many Friends Here.

Mr.. Morgenstierne. secretary OF the
commission, is also being feted by the
friends he made when he was sec
rotary of the Norwegian legation and
one of the most popular bachelors IN
the Diplomatic Corps. / saw him din

Smith, temporarily attached to the ls-
cation, and Mr.. Smiths pretty fiancee.
Dorothy Shuey. Mr.. Johanessen, Of
Che Norwegian legation, was also in
The party.
The warm weather and the glorious
moonlight nights have caused a sui

country clubs. the pleasant little inns
and tea houses within motoring dis

roof gardens. Why, there were any
number OF dinners at the Powhatan

one big party with Senator and Mrs.

Denmark, Mr.. Brun. and Capt. Dun

tached to the embassy, who is stay
ing with them. Is a very interesting
chap. The Hen. Tom Spring Rice,
second secretary OF the embassy and
the ambassadors secretary, is now
away on a vacation.
Rumor would have il that Sir Cecil
Arthur Spring Rice. the ambassador,
who is staying with Mr.. Hohler, the
second counselor, was crowded out Of
the embassy because so much office
room was needed for the press Of
work growing out OF the war. How
ever. IL was probably more for the
sake OF companionship that his excel
lency left the embassy while Lady
Spring-Rice and the children are
away; and ] understand that as soon
as they return he will move back
home.

CHAPTER TX.

Johns first caller at the Milan was,
In a way, a surprise to him. He was
sitting smoking an after-breaifast
pipe on the following morning, and
gazing at the telephone directory, when
his bell rang. He opened the door, to
find the prince Of Seyre standing out
side.

the latter began.
'Not at ALL" John replied, taking the
pipe from his mouth and throwing
open the door. ut is very good Of you
to come and see me-"
The prince followed John into the
little sitting room. He was dressed, as
usual, with scrupulous care. His tie
was fastened with wonderful pearl,
and his fingers were perhaps trlie
overmanicured. He wore bunch Of
Parma violets In his buttonhole, and he
carried with him very faint but I'M
usual perfume, which seemed to John
like the odor of delicate green tea.
1t was Just these details, and the slow
ness of his speech, which alone ac-
centuated his foreign origin.

seated himself In an easy chair, shat

John was conscious Of momentary
sense of annoyance. His tete-a-tet,
with Louise seemed farther Off than
ever. At the princes suggestion how
ever, he fetched his hat and gloves and
entered the formers automobile, which
was waiting below.
They spent the morning in the neigh
borhood Of Bond street, and John had
the foundations of a wardrobe more
extensive than any he had ever
dreamed Of possessing. At half past
one they were shown into L0uise's
little drawing room. There were three
or four men already present, standing
around their hostess and slipping some
faint yellow cordial from long vene-
tian glasses.
Louise came forward to meet them,
and made little grimace as she re-
marked the change In Johns appear

Requests for Hampton trained girls
to 60 north into domestic service next
summer have been steadily coming to
the lady principal ever since the Hamp-
ton term began last fall. Women who
have had Hampton girls in their homes
year after year as cooks, laundresses,
mattresses or general housekeepes
have written kind letters expressing
their appreciation of the training, re-
liability, faithfulness and common
sense which these girls showed and
asking to have the same girls assigned
to them for next summer.
Women who have heard from their
friends and neighbors good reports of
the efficient work and Christian charac-
ter of the Hampton girls have also
written to the lady principal for do
nestle service help during the coming
summer.
To the numerous requests for cooks,
laundresses, mattresses and househeep-
ers Hampton is replying essentially as
follows:
During the summer months we
usually have between seventy-five and
a hundred girls up north In service In
good homes. The positions are secured
by Hampton at the request of the girls
and of the girls parents so as to pro-
feet the girls from coming under inhu-
ences which win lower their standards.
These same girls return in the fall
with money to help them through the
Hampton school and do not remain In
service permanently.
"Our girls are all trained and are not
afraid of work, but the object Of the
school is primarily to train teachers
who will go into the south and work
among their own people.
''The Hampton girl feels that her edu-
cation is given her in trust. She feels
that she has no right to remain In the
north in domestic service, although she
may receive good wages. She feels
that her mission In life lies In tue
south, where she can help mold the
sentiment of whole community and
give that community what Hampton
has given to her."
The Hampton girls in particular are
acquainted with the facts concerning
the Negro exodus from the south and
are intelligently making their own de-
cisions. Their parents have had letters
warning. against the danger of allow
ing young girls to go to seashore re-
sorts. where living conditions physical
ly and morally are often most danger
Gus.
To kind white friends who have CO.
operated in finding good homes for the
Hampton girls letters have been writ
ten stating frankly the financial bur-
den which these self supporting stu
dents must carry and asking that
wherever possible better wages be
given these reliable and efficient col
ored girls.
The response to this appeal has been
most hearty and generous. Women
who know the facts and realize Hamp-
TONS object in making the request for
higher wages for good cooks and house
keepers have been happy to accept
Hampton's suggestion.
