German sympathies Mr.. de Mohrens-
cbildt is a promising young diplomat,
" no seems to be a favorite with Boris
Bakhmetiefi, the present Russian am
bassador, and in the good graces of
the revolutionary government He
comes OF a distinguished Russian fam
lily which. though untitled, has high
er rank socially and politically than
many titled houses. Everything con-
corning Russia or the Russians II q
bit uncertain at present, but from the
fact that Mr.. de Mohrenschildt and
his bride have taken a house in wash
ington for the coming winter II seems
probable that he will remain at his
present post.
Mr.. Robertson, whose marriage to
Miss ingalls,, daughter OF a promi-
nent railroad magpate, the late Mel
Vile Ingalls,, Is one of the most gen
timely satisfactory international mar
riages lately solemnized, is one of
those lean, clean limbed, intelligent
young Englishmen who have helped
so materially in the making OF the
British empire. He has seen dIplo-
|, matte service from Berlin TO the
Balkans, from China to the United
States, and everywhere has acquitted
himself with credit. He is a sports
man, OF course, his tastes running
to golf and the killing of big game,
and he found a ready-made welcome
when he came to Washington, his
father having been attached to the
British legation here in the days be.

Bride Ii Successful Farmer.
Mrs. Robertson lis as popular q
young woman as ever made her home
in Washington, and has a record of
achievement besides. She owns a
big place, Boxwood farm. near Hot
Springs, Va, which she farms sue
cessfully, and she has done a splen-
did work among tie mountain whites
in that section OF the country. The
Washington home of the Ingalls,, 4

The most recent international we'd
ding in Washington was the marriage
of Miss Dorothy Shuey, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Shuey, and
F. Smith. temporary sec
rotary OF the Norwegian legation,
which took place in August. and
was followed soon by the departure
Of Mr.. Smith and his bride for Nor
way.
Mr. Smith was attached to the Nor
wegian legation here three years
or so ago when his pretty bride made
her debut, and when, at the end OF
her first season, he was transferred
TO Christiania, they were engaged.
A marriage in which Washington
was vitality interested, although 1t
took place abroad, was that OF Miss
Frances Lippitt, daughter of former
Senator Henry +. Lippitt. and Brig. |
Gen. Moreton Foley Gage. OF the |
British army. The announcement of
the wedding, which took place in |
Paris last October. startled the elect |
OF the National Capital, even those |
who thought they knew the Lippitts |
fairly well, as it had been announced |
that Miss Lippitt was going abroad |
TO resume Red Cross work" This |
was true enough, for Immediately |
after the marriage her soldier hus-
band went back to the front and ever |
since Mrs. Gage has been doing relief |
work in Paris.
This romance has its connection |
with the Diplomatic Corps in Wash
ngton. for II was while he was at |
