IT was while serving in the Ru-
manian Legation in London, during
the war. that the prince met Miss

cred one Of the most talented wom-
en- in English society. They were
married in April, 1919. in st. Mar
Earet's Church, following the cere-
rnony in the Greek Church.
The infant daughter Of the prince
and princess did not accompany
them from London. but will arrive
carly in the spring. or soon after
q house has been obtained. Visits
from the princess mother, Margot
Asquith, whose published diary has
aroused much interest in this coun-
try, and from the Queen Of Ruma-
MIA, are expected during the year.
The queen. however. probably Will
defer her visit until late in the
fall.

The British Ambassador, Sir
Auckland Geddes, who went home
for a visit is due back shortly; he
sails next Tuesday, believe
I've heard that both Sir Auckland
and Vice Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly
are on their way to this country.
British officials have been notified
OF their sailing, but no announce
nent has been made, as they wished
to avoid any demonstration by Sim
Feiners or others upon the arrival
Of the Ambassador, so the story
goes He probably will be taken
on the ship at Quarantine instead of
landing at a pier.
Vice Admiral Bayly formerly was
British Naval Attache in washing
ton At the outbreak Of the war he
commanded the Sd Squadron OF the
British Grand Fleet. During the
war he was in charge of the de-
stroyer feet based at Queenstown.
The Secretary Of the Navy and
others are planning to entertain him
here this week, so II the Ambassa-
dor really is on the same ship as
Vice Admiral Bayly he'll be in
Washington tomorrow or Tuesday,
instead OF just leaving England
