Though Lady Geddes, wife of the
British ambassador. is an English

later send him back as the head of
his country's mission.
American Women Good Diplomats
The American oma seems to
have been a success in the diplo-
matte field. Seldom if ever does
news leak out of an American en-
yoy recalled through some break
on the part of his wife. The young
secretary attached to the embassy
or legation in Washington married
to an. American girl and SEN away
to other diplomatic posts is usually
successful. During the past few
years there have been numerous
such marriages. Among them one
recalls the marriage of Major Mar
riot of the British embassy staff to
Miss Maud Kahn, daughter of Otto
Kahn of New York. the marriage of
Senior Don Luis A. Pennaherrera of
the Legation of Ecuador to Miss
Argenta Perkins and the marriage
of Captain r. r. Glen of the British
staff to Miss Jane Story

pleasantness betweer~6ur govern
ment and Great Bri.sain married an
American girl sh<,ftly before his re-
turn home, En1ch was at the re-
quest of the White House, it is said.
Owing to NE nature of the disa-
greementf over Major Stuart it is
d~ifficultyto sfiay whether or not hav
ing an(meriean wife upon his ar
rival i/stead of his departure might
have rfaverted the trouble. Lord
GrSy returned to England himself
aIew months later and 1t was
Joy the Stuart incident.
1t is probably owing to the i'm
portance of a wife in the diplomatic
game that one finds but few bach
elors and widowers at the head of
missions.
A bachelor or unattached secre-
tary or attache is welcomed at any
capital. The bachelor diplomat of
fers to the ambitious society woman
an opportunity to enter the diplo-
matte game by marriage, which Is
at present the only opportunity
open to her. 1t has been predicted,
however, that the world will before
long see a woman al the head of
important diplomatic missions.
Lady Aston has already suggested
to the British government that a
feminine ambassador to the United
States would undoubtedly be sue
cessful. The suggestion came short
ly after the return home of Earl
Grey and it was understood that
his failure vas largely responsible
for Lady Astor's remarks.
