At Washington

THE Italian ambassador. Baron
Romano. set sail for Italy on a
months leave yesterday, leav-
ing his wife and daughter as hos
tagks for his return. And on the
eve OF his departure carve the Off
ciAl statement from the Italian gov
eminent that no steps had been
taken to select his successor. SO
perhaps Baron Aliotti isn't coming
TO Washington after all. And per-
haps even tho Romanos VIII re-
main.
However, Baroness Romano told
me that. while nothing was settled.
she expected to be leaving before
very long and consequently her
house was in a very torn up state.
And little Miss Yolanda Romano Is
sponsor for the statement that they
expect to get away In about two
monthsS Meanwhile. she's playing
pound with the debutantes and hav-
ing q royal good time-although II
isn't likely that she'll have for
NAL coming out party unless the
Italian government decides to keep
Baron Romano on here for the pres
ent-a move which would, I believe,
be exceedingly popular in this coun-
try.
The new diplomats, OF whom sew
eral have been appointed recently,
seem to be rather backward about
coming forward" However. the
new minister OF Guatemala, DR..
Julio Bianchi, has arrived, accom-
panied by Nine. Bianchi and their
eight children-and thus the "tunior
diplomats" have been considerably
augmented. From Emilio, who Is
twelve and quite grown up. to Mar
garita, the baby, not quite four
months old, they are adorable
youngsters. Eliza, the oldest girl,
is a little over ten and then they
trail along in regular steps. Matilda
aged nine, Julio Antonio, seven;
Eduardo. five; Marta, four. and Ro-
berto, who Is tremendously proud OF
having passed his second birthday.
EIGHT HANDSOME CHILDREN
The entire eight are handsome
children. but Marta is particu-
Iarly appealing youngster and a bit
OF a fiirt, who trails her long black
lashes over her dimpled check with
all the art Of a motion picture ac-
tress.
The Bianchis, accompanied by
their numerous maids, are at pres
ent stopping at the Dewey Hotel.
but they have Joined the army of
house hunters and hope to find
quarters large enough and commo-
dious enough to house their nu-
merous family and to include the
legation Offices as well. Nine.
Bianchi and her sister, who Is with
her. are both handsome women and
both typically Spanish, with the
great soft dark eyes and the beau
tiful voices for which Latin women
are noted. And. although she's
the mother of this brood Of young
sters, the ministers wife scarcely
looks thirty.
Moving continues to be the fash
ionable Outdoor sport" of the Dip
lomats. The Minister of Uruguay
and Nine. Varela have moved to
1916 Twenty-second street, giving
up Mrs. Josiah Pierce's house, in
Massachusetts avenue, which they
have been occupying since shortly
after they came to Washington.
Capt. Godfrey Blake, of the Brit
ish embassy, has moved into 1I14
Nineteenth street. Count and
Countess Bonde. OF the Swedish le-
CATION, who are now abroad, but
are returning before long, have
given up their apartment at Bever-
" Courts and taken one at the
Wyoming. and ]. II. de Lagerberg,
the secretary of the legation, has
done likewise. Emil Fontanel, the
popular young secretary OF the
