RETURNS TO NATIVE LAND.
The names of Mai. Livius D.
Teiusanu. military attache of the
Legation of Rumania. and Nine.
Teiusanu are omitted from this
months list. They have gone home
to Rumania and do not expect to re-
turn to Washington, and are greatly
missed. They were very active So
cially and were extremely popular.
Nine. Teiusanu is an American.
The Diplomatic Corps certainly
boasts an army-at least a battalion
of children! l didn't realize how
many children there are in the
corps until the Minister of Ecuador
and Nine. Elizalde gave their party
for the youngsters last Monday in
the Pan American Building. The
Elizaldes have some seven children
themselves. and all seven were pres
ent on that occasion. What a good
time those youngsters did have that
day! They were entertained by the
presentation of motion pictures and
colored slides showing scenes in
Ecuador, and two reels of comedy.
Following the performance a mo-
tion picture of the children was
taken on the steps of the Pan Amer
lean Building. The film shown was
the one prepared recently in con-
nection with the centenary celebra-
ton in Ecuador and was shown at
the reception given by Minister and
Nine. Elizalde at the Pan American
building ~. honor of the event
Mime. EliZalde was assisted in re-
ceiving the guests by the wives of
the other members of the staff of
the Ecuador Legation. Lady Geddes,
wife Of the British Ambassador, and
a number of wives of the Diplomatic
Corps accompanied the children. DR..
Elizalde talked to the children while
the pictures were being shown, after
which elaborate refreshments were
served.
DIPLOMATIC CORPS HAS
BATTALION OF CHILDREN.
The Elizaldes had only invited to
their party the fellow students at
the Force School of their own two
boys and the children of the Diplo-
matte Corps, but at that they had
quite crowd, some $50 or more,
l never realized before how numer-
Gus the Junior diplomats" in Wash
ington have grown to be! OF course
several of the ambassadors and
ministers have grown children that
one would never dare class as
juniors" but there are also quite
number of youngsters still far
from their teens.
1t may be that there are not so
many households with youngsters.
but that there are so many young
sters in a few households. The Min
lister of Ecuador and Nine. Elizalde
themselves have seven, as l have
eotI p-.@ fsl.
Lady Geddes have five, and the new
Minister from Guatemala and Nine.
Bianchi have eight. I think those
are the largest broods, though sew
eral of the attaches can almost
equal them.
The Geddes' youngsters are at
tractive little Britons! The eldest
boy is suffering. 1 understand, from
weak eyes, having strained them by
overstudy. He is really an infan,
prodigy. Though only Is he has
mastered studies that are seldom
tackled by youngsters years older.
1 hear that Lady Geddes is very
wisely going to keep him away
from books for a bit, feeling that
in sacrificing his health for wisdom
he is making a bad bargain.
SECRET SERVICE MEN
GUARD GEDDES CHILDREN.
have noticed that the little Eng
lishmen and woman (there is only
one girl, Margaret, better known to
her friends as Peggy are always
accompanied by Secret Service men
whenever they leave the embassy,
either'for pleasure or school. Prob
ably the unsettled conditions in the
British Empire at present have
made Lady Geddes anxious for her
youngsters safety, though 1t does
seem incredible that anyone would
harm children and particularly such
adorable ones.
