Princess Bibesco, only daughter
or the famous Mrs. Herbert Asquith
and Of a former premier of Great
Britain, has arrived in Washington
with her husband, who is the new
Rumanian Minister to the United
states. Surrounded by maids still
unpacking trunks and boxes in a
delightful suite in the Wardman
Esrk Hotel, Princess Blbesco was
the picture of radiant young woman
mood 4 brunette and quite plump
with gorgeous dark brown eyes she
does not resemble the published
photographs of her mother. But in
the keenness OF her wit and in
flashing intelligence she gives prom
Sc Of carving her own career in
my milieu.
Princess Bibesco had just come up
from luncheon and was dressed in
late Paris creation of shaggy wool
OF creamy color. 1t was trimmed
with black astrakhan fur and black
military braiding. Its most distinC-
tive feature was the very short
tight sleeve more than half way
above the elbow. \ small black
astrakhan hat like a cap and q cape
matching the dress completed the
costume.
Princess BibescO is immensely
Vtvacious and interested in every
thing. She has already emulated
her mother by writing several
magazine articles and hopes to
write a book ere long.
ImpressIons of America.
Asked what had Impressed her
most since her arrival in America
she replied without hesitation:
The railroad stations! Ny hus-
Sand used to visit them every morn
ing during the three or four days
we were in New York and we would
discuss whether it was the Grand
Central or the Pennsylvania we
Gus in architecture, beauty and con-
Nenience and there is nothing like
them in all the world" she said.
Asked about the ueen of Ru-
mania's proposed visit to the Unit
ed States Princess Bibesco replied
that the announcement had been
premature and that her majesty
was not expected until this autumn.
We must wait until we have =
house she said. And as for a
visit from Mrs. Asquith, that may
come about this spring but prob
ably not until autumn.
1T is possible my mother may
come over with my darling little
daughter. Ny only baby is to be
brought over this spring put It is
so difficult for anyone to leave
London in the spring that 1 hardly
expect her until the autumn"
Discusses World Relations.
Princess Bibesco has her own
ideas about promoting international
friendship. Shs does not believe
that good understanding between
Countries can be brought about
Qfnly by commerce or political rela-
SOns. 1t will be developed even
more through interchange of sport.
art literature and interesting per-
sOnalities.
Those champion tennis players
you sent over last summer made a
great hit. Also Gardiner, the golf
champion.
L also want to add my testimony
to the need Of the famishing chill
Herbert Hoover is working and to
express the hope that the American
Relief Fund will be fully subscrib-
ed. Shortly before coming over we
motored across several of those
countries from Rumania. Alas, all
that you have heard, particularly
OF Austria, is only too true. I can
not eat, when 1 stop to think Of
what have seen"
Princess Bibesco looks forward
with keenest interest to the closeup
Of American politics which will be
hers in the National Capital and
promises to divulge some Of her
impressions thereof before long.
Her mothSr, Margot Asquith. stated
in her celebrated memories, that
outside of herself her daughter,
Elizabe was the only woman she
knew who had a flare for high poll
tics.
