O'Shaughnessy for
Diplomatic Post? ?

A LTHoUGH the President has
given notice the United States
will not. send new minister to
Cuba until the affairs Of the little
republic are Strengthened out. Sen
ator Calder, Of New York, is trying
to get in on the ground floor with
q recommendation for the post. He
went to the White House the other
day to urge the selection Of Nelson
o'Shaughnessy, who was in the
diplomatic service for some years.
Mr.. o'Shaughnessy has been in
town during the week, but don't
pretend to have inside information
as to whether or not It was for the
purpose OF pleading his case. At
any rate he has been staying at
the Shoreham and giving an oc-
casional informal party there.
You remember doubtless, that
Mr.. o'Shaughnessy was Charge
d'Atfairs at Mexico City during the
Wilson regimo and that shortly
after his recall Mrs. 0'shaughnes-
sy brought out her book, "a Dip
lomat's Wife In Mexico" which
was severely critical Of the wilssn
policy.

MANY AMERICAN
WOMEN MARRIED
TO FRENCHMEN
BY COUNT DE PASSY,
Universal Service Special Correspondent.


PARIS. July IA.
THE marriage Of Miss Sally
Beecher, niece Of former United
States Ambassador Hugh G. Wal
lace, to Count Jean de Luppe, who
distinguished himself as an aviator
during the war. brings to mind the
fact that a considerable minority
Of the titled world of Paris is now
American.
Early in the century alliances Of
American heiresses with French
noblemen caused much hostile
comment both in American and
French newspapers.
The result Of these marriages
has practically been that Amer
leans now rule French society,
hitherto the most exclusive in
Europe.
One of the first American
women to marry Frenchman was
Miss Ridgway, who was welded
with the Marquis de Ganay. She
died last year and her magnificent
art collection was recently
auctioned off in Paris, bringing a
total of a million dollars.
Two other early Franco-Amer.
lean marriages were those Of the
de Montgomery sisters, the first
with Count Oliver de la Roche
foucauld, and the other with
Count Leon de Bethune. Another
was Miss Rey's marriage with
Viscount de Courval. Their daugh-
ter was Princess de Polk, whose
salon at Paris was the scene Of
many brilliant festivals and much
political intrigue shortly after the
second empire.
About the same time Miss
Symes married MARQUIS de Bas-
sano, master of the stables of
Emperor Napoleon III: the Phalen
sisters married Count de Gabriao
and Count de Narbonne.Lara, re-
spectively: Miss Curtis married
Marquis de TalIeyrand-Perigo
the Slidell sisters married Count
Saint Roman and Baron d'Erlan-
ger-famous originator Of the
Channel tunnel project-and Miss
Fischer, sister of Countess della
Gheradesca, married Count
Jacques d'Aramon.
OTHER famous Franco-American
marriages included Anna
Gould's alliance with Count (now
marquis) Boni de Castellane, from
whom she afterward obtained a
civil divorce and married Duke
de Talleyrand.
Countess Jean de Kergolay was
nee Carroll and her sister mar.
ried Baron Louis de Lagrange.

anything like that Miss Mellon
is in constant demand as a guest,
and can make what visits she likes
without feeling that she is neglect

is at Mattapoisett, Mass, with the
Major and Mrs. c. e. d. Bridge,
of the British embassy. And isn't
Marvin Peterson, of the embassy
there too? He was scheduled for
a visit know, and it must have
been Just about this time.
RUT the party out of which
Washington got the most thrills
even il the people who attended
1t weren't so much amused-was
the one given by Congressman
and Mrs. John Philip Hill Of
Maryland, on board the White Owl,
a houseboat restaurant anchored
in the Washington channel oppo-
site the War College. The White
Owl is in winter rather a faddy
smart Bohemian restaurant much
patronized by the younger diplo-
mats and the smart younger set
which likes to play round with
them. And Of that set the John
Philip Hills are shining lights.
A fire broke out aboard the Owl
while the dinner. given for Walter
Dillingham;, the new Hawaiian del
egate, was in progress and for a
while the party was in the thick
of things, doing some damage to
their purple and fine linen. This
was not included in the estimated
damage of $500, for what do fire
fighters know of the cost of sucn
finery. But whatever the cost, it
was worth 1t. 1t isn't every hos
tess who can supply thrills like
that at a quiet little dinner.
Mrs. Hill was Miss Carroll
Suzanne Carroll-and of the Mary
land CAROLS, who think very well
of themselves. They did not relish
her marrying John Philip Hill and
I'm told that Mrs. Hills mother
has never seen her children
which is certainly mothers hard
luck, for they are adorable young
sters-at present in Atlantic City.
incidentally 1t might interest Mrs.
Carroll senior to know that there
are a lot Of people who think
pretty well Of her daughters hus-
band. He was lieutenant colonel
in the A. e. F.[and wears the Croix
de Guerre in commemoration Of his
part in the scrap around Verdum.
He is a newcomer in Congress. but
he seems to be making good there;
and certainly there is no young
Congressional couple in Washing.

John Philip Hill.

interest in social activities in
the Oriole City and has been
spending more and more of her

Brown will go to White Sulphur
Springs, where she will be In her
element. The Southern colony
reigns supreme at the "old White"
during the torrid months. and Mrs.
Brown has many friends below the
Mason and Dixon line.
THE other afternoon when
encountered Mrs. Artemus
Gates at an outdoor event on Long
Island. was somewhat surprised
to note that she was not in
mourning for her father, Henry P.
Dawson. who died a short time
back.
Later. while dining with
matron who has the latest tidbits
about everyone and everything in
the Piping Rock colony at the tips
Of her aristocratic digits, I was In
formed that Mr.. Dawson before heT
died requested the various mem
bers of his family not to don
mourning and to keep up their
social activities.
Mrs. Gates looked exceptionally
pretty and decidedly happy as she
presented her young husband to
those who had not already met
him. They. are stopping with Mrs.
Dawson at Peacock Point and
later they will go to Maine.

However, much Of the credit for
Mrs. Stokes sartorial glory must
be given to her talented young
husband, who, I am told, designs
not a few Of the creations which
have caused less fortunate New
port matrons to turn almost green
with envy. "Syi" Stokes is a very
capable young man and, had he
married young woman with only
a modest bank account, he would
have made a name for himself in
the artistic end of the business
world. AS It is he devotes all Of
his time to adding touches Of
smartness to his wife, home, motor
cars and last. but by no means
least, himself.
No couple in Newport can touch
the Stokeses when it comes to that
indefinable quality - rakishness.
They are simply the nth degree of
rakishness.

SAYS PENSION PROMISED
TO RECRUITS IN 1917
Contributor Declares Old Laws
Were Effective Up to Oc-
tober 6.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
In your recent editorial upon the
question of the soldiers bonus. some
allusion was made to the enlistment
of world war veterans with distinct
understanding that they were not TO
be entitled to pension. This may be
true with regard to those entering the
service on or after october s. 1917, the
date of the first of the war risk insur-
ance legislation. but as to the thou
sands enlisted prior to this date. being
the bulk of the volunteers OF the war.
there certainly was an understanding
just as distinct that they should have
the pension promised by the general
pension laws in force at the time, II
they should become permanently dis
abled in penSionable degree from
the performance of manual labor by
causes incident to the. service and the
line of duty.
4 proviso inserted in the insurance
act of October s. 1917, to save the pen
sion rights of those already in serv-
ice, was SO construed by ruling or in
structions of January IL, 1918. as to
be of no effect, and all who were IN
service on October s. 1917, were held
to come under the new scheme to the
utter exclusion of pension rights. The
pension applications of those who
were affected by this holding were
transferred to the bureau of war FISK
Insurance to be treated as applica-
tions for compensation. which proved
TO be the real pension substitute and
not the insurance scheme which was
so widely proclaimed as such.
The compensation provision seems
to be a cold blooded dollars and cents
proposition which takes little or no
account of the loss of health or other
. physical impa irment unless or until
She soldier is actually losing money
by it, The pension system. on the
Pother hand, bases its benefits upon
disqualification lin some recognized
material degree for earning a support
at manual labor, regardless of the
soldiers present or former vocation
or what he actually earns.

Ancient Aches.

There are so many ways Of curing
the aches that torture bone and
thew, it does seem strange we are
enduring the same old pains our
fathers knew. On our main street
the signs are swinging, the signs Of
heelers by the score, who'll start
our dismal hearts A-singing. If we'll
dig up five bones or four. BY every
mail I get a letter from one prac-
titioner or two, who'd free me from
the govt or. letter. the rheumatism
or the flu. And all these healers
I have trusted. I've paid them
money by the yard; I've had my
ancient spine adjusted. and I've
been boiled in rancid lard; I've
taken pellets green and yellow, I've
taken tablets fiat and square. and.
guided by some healing fellow, con-
stunned a, horses bill of fare. I've
taken brown and brindled bitters,
and pills that taste like toilet soap;
for he must rank with tinhorn quit
tiers who doesn't sample every dope.
And yet with all my ceaseless taking
I'm where 1 was long years ago;
and as my, grandsire's bones were
aching. SO my old bones much. an
guish know. I read how science
knocks diseases. and wipes out
human aches and stings; I also read
some other wheezes concerning pigs
that fly with wings. The science
tales are most alluring. but, while
read them in my lair, wonder
why we're still enduring rheu-
mates. mumps and falling hair.

THE MASCULINE WOMAN.
Writer Recalls Age of Lace-Bedeck-
ed Man.

10 the Editor Of The Star:
There is story TO the effect that
certain young college men. by way OF
protest against the tendency toward
masculnity among girls. are prepar-
ing to discontinue, on their own part.
the wearing Of buttonhole bouquets.
use of shaving powder and SO forth.
by way of demonstrating their own
masculinity.
But what would this demonstrate.
after all? In olden days when men
wore lace ruffies. frills. feathers and
long hair. they did all sorts OF de-
cidedly masculine things. They
strobe about with swords at their
sides, killing one another on the
slightest provocation, swore tremen-
deus oaths and drank themselves I'M
der the table-all of which was most
unfeminine. And now, when girls
smoke cigarettes. wear knickerbock-
ers and socks. they run to some man
for protection in time of danger just
as they did in the days of chivalry.
So does adjustment Of the refine
ments and courtesies demonstrate
anything on either side?
