The Washington herald., 1918-08-18


Sixteenth street, within few block,
OF the White House, and. a. yet. al
least. there Is no talk Of rgettins
away"
As for the war missionaries" fhey
are scattered along the coast, soms
Of them even out In California, and
at the same time there Is a perfect
army Of them IN Washington. In
fact, there are so many OF them that
only comparatively few Of them make
any real dent In the social scenery,
Among those who have. however, ia
Mai Livius Teinsanu, who came over
as missionary and remained as act
ing military attache Of the new Rou-
manian Legation. He Is a dashing
looking chap with whole string of
medals and only one arm-equaily tes-
tifying to his valor and heroic serv-
Ice.
He has been giving a series of talks
for the Red Cross. and only last
Thursday he gave one in the rose
room of the Traymore, at Atlantic
City, for the benefit of the memorial
fund for the Jeanne dare Of Rou-
mania" But Washington Is soon to
lose him. as he Is leaving for France
very soon. In fact, It has been def
niteIy stated that he was sailing on
August 20, from which, without know
ing anything at all about 1t. ! infer
that there are no sailings at all on
that date. But undoubtedly he Is
going soon, and he's going to be sad
ly missed. He's been a good deal OF
q lion. and has made all sorts of hits
with the girls. partly because he's SO
picturesQuely fierce TO look upon.
Another who has made q distinct
dent in washington's consciousness
partly by virtue Of his very attractive
wife-is Col Charles Lee. head of the
British aviation mission. They have
been here for several months. and
when he first came Col. Lee did all
sorts Of spectacular stunts over the
city. He was a feature Of the daily
sky circus that has been entertaining
Washingtonians and the strangers
within their gates for the past year.
Col. Lee took up quite q number OF
the Congressmen last spring. and ]
know at least one girl who envied
them But when she longingiy. "If I
was only q Congressional. or a female
person with an Official pull, I certainly
would get that man to take me up"
she was promptly squelched with:
mo you wouldn't, either; he won't
take women. He says-with a nasty
little emphasis on the 'says'-it's
against orders" I've been meaning
to ask that pretty wife OF his-she's a
typical straight-featured. rose-leaf
English beauty-whom I used to gee
at all the dances in the spring (Ad.
believe me, she danced-every danceD
whether she had ever been up with
him. But somehow I never did.
And, speaking Of dances, I am more
than little interested in the one that
the boys Of the Twenty-seventh En-
gineers are planning for next Satur-
day night at Camp Leech-American
University Park. It Is only about
half the regiment that Is giving II.

they are, and waiting their sailing
orders. And they propose to make
this party Of theirs some blowout
And. believe me. they are quite equal
to it-even though the District Is dry.
The particular man who was telling
me about IL promised to drop in with
the details when their plans are COM

the Officers ladies' were going TO

Of thing. He hasn't showed up, but

Which reminds me again that the
Arioa Club Of the Signal Corps has
been having some very nice parties.
