made many international
IA marriages, but the list Of
those who have got into
foreign diplomatic services is not
large. This may be because in some
European chancelleries "petticoat
influence" was looked upon as a
fcarsome thing, and especially was
there a dread Of the reputed sway
Of American wives over their hus-
bands It was long a European
principle that there should be no
divided counsels or variable allie
glance in diplomacy, and, therefore,
the marriage Of diplomatic repre-
sentatives with foreigners was dis
couraged, especially marriage with
a national Of the country to which
the diplomat was accredited.
Germany was notable exception
to the general rule, particularly in
the case Of ambassadors at Washing
ton. In years gone by Germany
made no secret Of her desire and
efforts to cultivate position Of ex-
ceptional friendliness and influence
In Washington. One Of the methods
used was tho choice Of ambassadors
with American wives. Both the late
Baron Speck Won Sternhurg and
Count Won BernstorR married
American women, and neither Of
them ever tired Of giving publicity
to the fact At the time Of the
Boxer Rebellion in China much was
made of the American marriage of
Count Won Waldersee, who was sent
to China by the Kaiser with the in
junction to make the Chinese class
the German soldier with Attila the
Hun.
All Are Americans
When Sir Auckland Geddes ar
rives in Washington as the new
British Ambassador the unusual
condition will exist of every Eu-
ropean embassy there having an
American mistress. Nine. Jusse-
rand, Baroness Avezzano, Baroness
de Cartier de Marchienne and
Sonora de Riano, wife of the Span
ish Ambassador, all are Americans.
Sonora de Riano was Miss Alice
Ward, of New York. She spent
most of her girlhood days in Wash
ington and was the chum of Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth when, as Miss
Alice Roosevelt, she led Washing
ton society. Had not DR.. Domicio
da Cana been transferred to Lon
don and Senior Bonillas gone back
to Mexico, there would be two more
ambassadors in Washington with
American wives, as DR.. da Cana
was Brazilian Ambassador and
Senior Bonillas was Mexican Ambas-
sador
Other American women who are
presiding over foreign establish
ments in Washington are Nine.
Ekengren, wife of the Minister from
Sweden, and Nine. Panaretoff, wife
of the Minister from Bulgaria. Nine.
Ekengren was Miss Laura Jackson,
Washington girl.
