Tragic Event
brings Uniforma.

It's the unexpected that happens
nowadays and frequently the unex-e
pected wears a tragic face. The gor-
geous diplomatic uniforms, that were
being taken out of camphor and moth
balls-in which they had been packed
for several weary years. during which
dress uniforms were taboo-and aired
and cleaned and polished in anticipa-
tfon of the functions in honor of their
majesties of Belgium, were donned
instead for very pathetic occasion,
the funeral Of the italian ambassador,
whose passing last Monday was one of
the worst shocks Washington society
has had in months.
Beginning with. Mrs. Wilson, who
has scarcely left the White House
since the President was taken i'll. and
the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall.
the official world gathered at ST.
PauPs on Friday morning to do honor
TO the late Count di Cellere. For the
funeral Of an ambassador or the me-
Inorieal service in honor of the pass
ing of a sovereign-at least IL he
passes out OF eNistence-is by way Of
being decidedly a state function.
The State Department sends out
the invitations enclosing cards of
Identification, for the strictest
precedence is observed in the seating
OF the congregation. The invitation
is on heavily black bordered paper,
ornamented with the embossed coat
of arms of the United States. And
it usually reads AT the request of

The Townsends also knew Queen

one of the famous oculists of his day,
and his wife; and they can speak au-
thoritatively about how greatly be-
loved they both were among the peas

they accomplished. The princess used
frequently to help her husband in his
clinics, and, as Queen Elizabeth grew
up, she followed inc her mothers foot

Braganza, of the same branch of the
family as old Dom Miguel. whose son
married Anita Stuart. Townsends

Countess di CeIIere
: Brave In Trouble.

Brave In Trouble.
The death of the Count di Cellere
cast a damper over the weeks activi-
ties, and on all sides one heard ex-
pressions of sympathy for Countess di
Cellere, stranger in strange land
and in great trouble. One is remind
ed OF the sudden tragic death of Sir
Cecil Arthur Sprfng-Rice, long Brit
ish ambassador to this country, just
been detached from the embassy at
Washington. But Lady Spring Rice
was left among her. own, her. hus-
bands death taking place while they
were visiting their kinsfolk, the Duke
of Devonshire. governor general Of
Canada, and the Duchess of Devon
shire. whereas poor Countess di Gel
lere is alone save for her children.
She's been very brave, one hears
and 1t is said that her daughter. As-
nese di Cellere. has been quite won
derful. She's but a slip of girl
just fifteen, / believe-but she. has
shown a womans poise, strength and
dignity, and has been the greatest
comfort to her mother in her ordeal.
From the time Of the ambassador
death until his funeral, Mrs. Lansing,
wife Of the Secretary of State, was
constantly with the countess, who
soling. Countess di Cellere, you
know. N a South American; and Mrs.
Lansing, who spent a good deal of
time in South America while her
father. John w. Foster, was alive.
and who speaks Spanish fiuently. has
always been on particularly friendly
terms with the women Of the Latin
American contingent of the Diplomatic
Corps. Moreover, she and Countess
di Cellere have many tastes in COM
mon, and there is . warm friendship
between them.
A number of the gayetes on the
weeks calendar were Cancelled out of
Difference to the late ambassador, his
colleagues Of the Diplomatic Corps

In social activities until after the

And, of course, Mrs. Lansing Cancelled
her Wednesday afternoon "at home ;
She expects. however, to receive on
wednesday afternoon of this week
and will be at home informally on
Wednesdays until after Christmas
Then, after the first of January she
expects TO resume her receptions on
a more formal scale, inviting a num-
Der or her friends to assist her and
extending her hospitality to society in
general as she did in the good old

very exacting business until the war

OF her colleagues among the Cabinet
