AT ITALIAN EMBASSY.

The italian embassy was also the
scene of an anniversary celebration
during the week-the anniversary OF
the battle of Vittorio Veneto and of
the signing of the armistice with Aus

Italian officers and officials at the

Miss Yolanda Romano, daughter of
the Italian ambassador. has been in
New York of late. but returned to the
embassy yesterday and has already
been drawn into the round of parties
for the young people now "in."- Bar
oness Romano has been busying her
self with her household and has had
very little time for entertaining. but
two or three parties have been given
for her. and last Sunday she had a
little tea at the embassy in compli-
ment to the Italian balloonist who
took part in the recent international
races held at Birmingham, Ala. Nine.

NINE. DE QUEsADA RENEWING
MANY OLD ADVANTAGES.

Nine. de Quesada is having n very
happy time in Washington renewing
old acquaintances. and several par
ties were given last week for her
and her daughter. Parties for Mrs.
Colin Campbell. who is visiting Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Letter. and for Coun-
tess Won Moltke-Huitfe'd, the guest
of the Misses Patten also contribu-
ted no little to the gayety of the
week. Both grew up in shington
and reigned as bellies before they
married foreigners and went abroad
to live and both are being made right
royalty welcome by friends of their
girlhood days.
Mrs. Campbell was Miss Nancy
Letter. and II is for her that Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Letters only daughter Is
named. She is here in Washington
only for visit. but she and her hus-
band, Col. Colin Powys Campbell,
have bought n ranch in California
and expect to make their permanent
winter home there. The Letters Wis
