guard in his vest pocket until the
drama moment when DIR. Dodd in
structs. the groom to slip 1t on Miss
Miller's slim finger, is a flexible
platinum clrclet set with square
diamonds.
Today the, chief concern of all
feminine principals in the wedding
was, of course, over what to wear.
But the gown of gowns has al.
ready, in defiance of all custom and
superstition, been discussed freely
and in enthusiastic detail by the lady
who is to wear It. 1t has long occI.
pied an important section of one of
those nine trunks which contain
Miss MIXERS trousseau, and has been
described as of white crepe georgette,
trimmed in silver and princess lace.
The bridal bouquet Jack Pickford
has ordered to go with the gown Is
of white orchids, gardenias and lilies
of the valley.
Sister in Place Of Honor.
Mrs. John Steele Sweeney. who

HARVEY TALKS
WITH POINCARE
ON GENOA PLAN
conference in Paris Only
Formal Courtesy" Says
American Ambassador.

PARIS. Jan. So.-George Harvey,
American Ambassador to London,
and Premier Poincarc held an ex-
tended conference late today. Al
though Harvey declared he had
made purely a formal call of
courtesy" it was learned chat the
proposed Genoa conference and the
recent straining OF Franco-Ameri-
can relations were fully discussed.
1t appears that Poincare let the
American Ambassador know that
he entertained no more enthusiasm
for the Genoa conference than
American officials are understood to
feel. At the same time the new
premier considers that Aristide
BRAND. as premier, bound France
to participation in the meeting. IL
1t is held. Poincare is then under
stood to have indicated that he
would be extremely grateful IL
America saw fit to make the Genoa
sessions impossible. and thus spare
France the necessity of attending.
and at the same time avoid break
ing her pledged word.
Ambassador Good Listener.
The French premier is said to
have found Ambassador Harvey
sympathetic listener to his well
known objections to meeting with
representatives of the Russian Boil
shevik government.
Poincare pointed out the neces-
sity of protecting French investors
in Russian bonds of the Cars re-
gime and contended that a meet
ing of representatives of other
powers with the Bolsheviks in
Genoa would be tantamount to rec
ognition of the Lenin-Trotsky gov
ernment. This. Poincare contended,
involved the danger of strengthen
ing the Bolshevik unduly.
Jusserand Incident Closed.
The so-called "Jusscrand Incl
dent" which was completely denied.
but nevertheless resulted in consid-
cradle discussion in France. was
regarded as closed. But in the
course of the conference it is re-
liably stated. the premier showed
that he was extremely alive to the
need of regaining American conf
dcnce and smoothing out the
bitches that have occurred at
Wa shington.
There is no prospect Of Ambassa-
dor Jusserand being called from his
post at Washington, it is now un-
derstood. Premier Poincare, 1t can
be stated. holds Jusserand in high
esteem as a scholar as we'll as a
diplomat. And finally Andre Tar
dieu's attack upon Jusserand in the
chamber Friday was enough to
make his position secure with the
premier.
