Washington society is accus-
toned to a slight sprinkling of
''princesses." "countesses." baron
esses," ladies" and the bearers of
other noble titles, but this season
has brought such a generous sup
ply that one almost forgets that
this is really the land of the
"missis." We are delighted to have
these guests with us-titles and all.
Their personalities delight US. and
their titles add piquancy and in
terest to many OF the social func-
lions of the winter.
Among these charming titled Wis
itors from other lands is Priscilla
Countess Annesley-yes, the word
order is correct-Priscilla precedes
Countess" and isn't that CONNIE
IL faut" IN this expanse of demo-
cracy and Puritanical forbears?
For conversational purposes,
however, Priscilla" may be omit
ted, or IL one is on quite intimate
speaking terms. Countess Annes-
ley may be omitted-and Just
Priscilla" will get a response-it
all depends on ones relation to this
countess from County Down, Ire
land.
Judging from the intense admira.
ton which she expresses for Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth (Alice Roose-
velo, the latter, IT seems, in ad-
dressing the countess, could use, II
she wished. the name associated
with our Mayfower days-for
Countess Annesley does think Mrs,
Lonsworth Is perfectly fascinating. "
She thinks she has so much pep and
spice and many things nice 40

HAS SPECIAL SEAT
IN HOUSE OF LORDS.
Countess Annesley. too, like Mrs.
Longworth. follows with the keen
est interest the discussions OF the
lawmakers of her country-U won
der IL should have said those last
few words-she Is Irish, you know,
At any rate. she represents unof-
hcially the Titian-haired woman
hood Of the North OF Ireland. What
l started out to say. however, was
that she is so interested in national
politics that she has a seat in the
house of lords-you know, a special
place reserved for her where the
spectators assemble. And Ills there
she can usually be seen when the
house is in action.
Countess Annesiey says that she
had two reasons for coming 10
America; one was to see pictures of
herself at her best, and the other
was to observe our educational In
situations. 1t seems that SO many
times the countess had been told
that she was very American" when
she was feeling rather well salts
fed with herself and this appella-
ton was never given when she was

not feeling perky and up-to-the-
second.
COUNTESS is SILENT
ON IRISH QUESTION.
Countess Annesley disturbs ones
conception of the inability of the
Irish to keep quiet; she can keep
quiet-very quiet-when the Irish
question Is discussed. unless one
can read volumes from her confess
sion of admiration for Abraham
Lincoln and a belief in a govern
ment "of the people. by the peo-
Pile, and for the people"
Interest in the conference is
keeping Countess Annesley in
Washington longer than she
planned. When she leaves here she

Yurie Tail. in accordance with the
Japanese custom of having only
the one given name.
Mrs. Tail. who met her husband
when he was a student of the Royal
Naval College and who has been
living in Japan for less than three
years, has not found it very din
cult to adjust herself to life in the
East Perhaps her greatest problem
was due to the Japanese custom or
having the married son live in the
house OF his parents. which pre-
sents the mother-in-law relation

in the best English fashion. She Is
learning SO rapidly that when she
returns to Japan via England. as
the Tails plan, she will have to
rely too upon her appearance to
convince the people of her mother
land that she has a birthright to
the land of the cherry blossoms.
The lovely courtesy and consid-

of much value in smoothing out
difficulties that Mrs. Tail encount-
cred upon her initiation into jap
anese customs of living.
Il remember WELL" SAYS Mrs.
Tail. the first formal dinner that l
attended in Japan. 1t was my first
experience in kneeling around the
festal board and felt terribly
awkward and 'gauche'-we use the
sitting-up method in our own home
and after ten minutes of this
posture, l was feeling rather I'M
comfortable. The japanese, how
ever, were quick to notice my dis
comfort tried not to show 1t, but
kneeling is so different from sit

myself more comfortable by taking
position that suited me best"

Why, just guess not We couldn't get along without you in the nursery. You do need little mending, but l am going to sew you. and then you shall sit on the very tiptop of the Christmas tree
