Right now people are pouring

Among those moving IL the secrs-

who has taken the Clarence Moore
house just across the street from
where he has been living for the
last year or less, l746 Massachu-

handsomest and often the scene of
brilliant parties. big and little, has
long been quiet. However, imag-
inc that 1t will be gay once more
this year. with the Secretary en-
tertaining occasionally and also his
son and daughter. Paul and Ailss,
who are sure to have parties for
their young friends. They will
come from Prides Crossing to join
their father about the time he
takes possession of the Moore
house.
I SUPPOSE we will once more see
the German Embassy ablaze with
lights and the gathering place of
the elite this winter. Much of the
old pomp and glory. however, which
one always pictures in ones mind
with the Germany Embassy. will be
missing. The huge portraits Of the
Kaiser and his wife have disap-
peared. of course: the imperial coat
of arms will be conspicuous by its
absence. and the Ambassador will
wear only evening dress and not all
the gold braid. colorful uniform we
use to see Count Won Bernstorff in,
before the war, at state functions
However. I'm told the embassy will
be one OF the most attractive homes
in Washington when Ambassador
and lime. Wiedfeldt are fully set
tied there. With them from their
fine home in Essen they have
brought some OF the rarest treas
ures and equipment in the way of
household furnishing. Just no the
simplicity and even sparseness of
furnishings in the old red brick
mansion are such as might easily
meet the approval of the new
regime in the old country. The
splendid furnishing of the Essen
estate Is now on it's way to Amer
lea and once more society will meet
in the large ballroom where Prince
Henry of Prussia was entertai ed
during the time DR.. Won Holleben
was Ambassador It was in this
ballroom that the late Baron Won
SternberG. when Ambassador, kept
his priceless Tibetan treasures and
old Chinese rugs and tapestries.
The diplO lRts are slowly return
ing TO their posts OF duty here. The
Spanish Ambassador. Juan RIano.
who has. with Mime Riano, been
paying a series of visits in New
England. will return today. his wife
remaining away some time longer
The Peruvian Ambassador and Nine.
Pezet got back the first of the week
after an absence Of about a month
spent motoring and at the Hot
Springs. The Brazilian Ambassador,
Augusta CoChrane de Alencar, is at
the embassy once more after a very
quiet summer. and the British Am
bassador, Sir Auckland Geddes,
came down from Dark Harbor, Me.
However he has gone back up there
for another visit with his family.
They Will all return here about the
first. Meanwhile the embassy is be-
ing renovated. And the German
Ambassador and his wife are here,
the Ambassador going to Germany
a short time ago to get his wife
and son. Herman. He is an only
son and will take up the study of
agriculture either at the University
of Wisconsin or the School of Agri-
culture at Ames. Iowa. He finished
his course at the University of
Vienna and is now 25 years old.
LIE paid visit last week to the
biochemiC department Of the
Bureau Of Animal Industry of the
Agriculture Department to see how
they udy there diseases of a.
mails. preventives of diseases and
the like. He apparently is much
interested in all such matters.
