AWAITS PRINCE
Lack Of Hostess at Embassy May
|. Mean Only Stag Affairs for
Wales in Washington.

! there are no available wives upon
which the duty can fall, and Washing
ton society would object to exclusively
masculine functions at the embassy
for the Prince and his staff.
Logically the post of temporary
hostess at the embassy would fail upon
Lady William Tyrrell, wife of Sir Will
lam Tyrrell, the Minister Plenipoten-
.tiary and close friend of the Ambassa-
DOR but when her husband came to the
United States recently Lady Tyrrell did
not accompany him, and it would be
too late to bring her hither in time for
the Princes visit
Sir William was the close friend OF
Viscount Grey when as Sir Edward
Grey the present Ambassador was
British Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. When his chief retired from
the position of Foreign Secretary Sir
William was appointed Under Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs, which position
he held until the last year of the war.
He retired from public life when his
son was killed in France fighting with
the American troops, but when his old
chief accepted the position as Ambas-
sador to Washington he volunteered to
come in the comparatively humble
position as Lord Grey's private secre-
tary.
Washington remembers Sir William
ras the head of the special mission that
visited the United States in 1918 to
settle the unpleasantness then arising
between Great Britain and the United
States over the Mexican situation.
President Wilson regards Sir Will
lam as one of the ablest diplomats of
the day, and is said to have been espe-
cially pleased when he heard of his
appointment to his present position on
the Ambassadors staff.
I Counsellor Ranks Second.
Ranking second to Lord Grey on the
eligible" list of the Embassy is the
Hon. Roland Lindsay counsellor for
the British Empire In the United
States.
While secretary of the embassy be-
fore the war Mr.. Lindsay met and
married Miss Martha Cameron, daugh-
ter of former Senator Don Cameron OF
Pennsylvania and granddaughter OF
Gen. Sherman. Miss Cameron was one
of the buds" of her future husbands
first year in Washington and was con-
s:dered one of the most beautiful girls
in Washington society.
Following their marriage Mr.. Lind
say was transferred to Cairo, Egypt
where the couple remained until their
return to his home, Stepleton in Bland
ford, England.
Shortly before her husbands return
to the United States to succeed Col
villa RnrnloN- 10 ha
bassy, young Mrs. Lindsay died sud-
denly at her home at Stepleton and
the Hon Roland Lindsay came to
Washington alone.
AS the son of the Earl of Crawford
Mr.. Lindsay belongs to one of the
oldest and most distinguished families
in Scotland-and he has already
demonstrated that he likes American
girls.

Its imposing array of titled eligibles.
