Prince de Bearn's first experience this

fifteen or twenty years ago, for Mrs.

to tuck in a luncheon for the embassy

ROMANO.s INTENTIONS
REMAIN IN DOUBT.

Everybody seems TO be still guess
ing as to whether or not Baron Ro-
mano, who is now home on leave, is
to return. 1t has been generally re-
ported that he was about to be re-
called and promoted, probably to an
important post under his government
at home. 1t was even reported with
considerable appearance of authority
that Baron Alliotti would be his sue
cessor. and everybody who could re-
member back fifteen years or so to
when Alliotti was an attache of the
embassy here began remembering
what n delightful fellow he was and
how very chummy they had been with
him.
But the Mliotti myth seems to have
evaporated. Now other names are
mentioned. Rolando Ricci, a member
of the Italian Senate. IL one of the
latest possible candidates for the posi-
ton. But both the state Department
and the embassy claim that they have
no definite Information that Ambas-
sador Romano will not return. and.
naturally in that case, no information
as to who will succeed him.
From the social point of view. it
would be distinctly pleasant to know
that the Romanos were to remain.
The ambassador is well liked, and
Baroness Romano has really made all
sorts of a hit. Moreover, their young
daughter, Senorita Yolanda Romano,
had been announced as n debutante of
the season, and, as n matter of fact,
was presented during the summer at
Newport. A diplomatic debutante al
ways adds considerable interest to
the group OF buds In any given sea-
son, so that the probability of the

here was rather disappointing. As
things are now, no one pretends TO
know when the Romanos will leave, II
they do leave, or whether or not Miss
Yolanda will be presented here this
season. Meanwhile she's having a
very merry time. Today she's giving a

s.
There Is as a matter OF fact a gen.
! eral feeling that most OF the embas-
! sizes and legations will have new
chiefs within six months or so, and
that the new administration will
have to deal with an almost entirely
new Diplomatic Corps. The report
generally circulated at the time that

summer to the effect that they would
probably not return turns out to have
been grossly eXaggerated"-like the
| reports of Mark Twain'a death-and
yet, after all. IT seems to have had a
basis of truth. The Jusserands are
coming back. and eysh have their
passage engaged for November ID:
but 1t seems pretty definitely estab-
lished that 1t will be only for a few
months, to gather up loose ends
to get the embassy in shape to turn
over to some one else.
Very possibly the same thing will
| happen in the case of Baron Romano
and of the Belgian AMBASSADOR, Baron
| de Cartier, about whose return there
has been some doubt. but who is also
I scheduIad TO arrive some time in No
