is to be expected, they "do it proud
At the head Of the foreign dlplo-
matte corps stands the much-beloved
dean of them all, M. Jean Adrien
ATONE Jules Jusserand. ambassador
from the French republic, who has
represented la Belle France" untn-
terruptedly for the last eighteen years.
By his side stands Nine. Jusserand, an
American woman. Who will deny that
she has been one Of the instrumental
ties in binding America and France
ever close through the greatest crisis
that ever confronted her adopted ma
ton? Nine. Jusscrand was before her
marriage Miss Eliza Richards, daugh-
ter Of the late George T. Richards of
New England, and one Of the founders
of the, banking house Of Munroe & Co.,
of Paris. Through her mother. born
Kernochan, she is related to the New
York family Of that name. OF bril-
liant intellect, madame has been of
invaluable aid to her distinguished hus-
band In the many 'exacting duties that
have confronted him during nearly two
decades of service in Washington.
Next to Nine. Jusserand, the honor
Of long residence goes to Mrs. w. A..
Ekengren, wife Of the Swedish minis
ter. Her husband was first secretary
of the Swedish legation In 1906 and
then was appointed charge d'affaires.
which position he filed until his ele-
walton to the ambassadorship in April,
1912. Nine. Ekengren is daughter
of New Jersey. Her father was the
brilliant lawyer, John P. jackson, for
many years counsel for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. She was educated in
Paris and Dresden, and when 1t came
time to introduce her to society her
mother took a home in Washington.
There she was courted and wed by the
Swedish ambassador. Nine. Ekengren
Is of real American descent. Her
mother came of the illustrious Gregory
family in New Jersey. Her great
grandfather was Major General Roger
Wolcott, first governor Of Connecticut,
and further back in the family tree
stands Oliver Wolcott, signer Of the
Declaration of Independence.
Baroness AvezZano. wife of the new
Italian ambassador, is the "baby"
member of the group. The baroness
was Miss Marie Jacqueline Taylor,
daughter Of the late Amos Taylor,
who went from Kentucky to st. Louis
more than forty years ago and made
a name and fortune for himself in the
field Of law. Miss Taylor grew up in
st. Louis. She met Baron Avezzano
while he was serving as an attache Of
the Italian embassy under Baron Fava.
They were wed in 1901. After her
marriage the baroness spent most Of
her time abroad. The baron served
in virtually every large capital in Eu-
rope, and the baroness thoroughly
liked this life, that brought her in
contact with the peoples and customs
Of many lands. She was particularly
happy at last when the baron was
sent to her own native land. She hopes
he will stay here long time. The
Baron and Baroness Avezzano have
beautiful daughter. Miss Yolanda

Nuts Not Properly Appreciated.

The reason why nut trees are not
being planted more extensively in
this country is similar to the reason
why the automobile was not In use a

had not thought much about 1t. The

bear as important a relation to our
food supply as the automobile does
to transportation.

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi.

1t is q physicians prescription,
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it shoulS help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
