Belgian AHache To
Be Welcome
addition
By JEAN ELIOT.

" HE newest addition to the
younger diplomatic set in
- Washington in the person
of Count Antoine de Laubespin
should prove interesting news to
the debutantes of this winter.
Count de Laubespin, who arrived
at the Belgian embassy yesterday
to take up his duties as secre-
tary. succeeds the popular Jean
de Fontaine, who is sailing for
Europe on Saturday.
The new attache is young, good
looking, and, 1 understand, I'M
married. Washington is most
fortunate to have him as an ad-
ditional eligible" diplomat. In
deed, the Capital is quite fortunate
In her group of unmarried mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. Be-
side the newcomer, who is, for the
time being, making. his home at
the Lafayette Hotel, there is
Jules Henry, Of the French en-
bassy, who is quite a popular per-
son with both "debbies" and their
mothers. There are also the as
sistant military attaches of the
same embassy. aides to Colonel
Dumont, who are also bachelors
Captain Lombard and Captain
Thenault.
Mariana de Amoedo, of the
Spanish embassy, is perhaps one
Of the best known and one of the
most universally popular of the
younger ENJOYS and another Span
ish-speaking single attache whom
one. sees at every function is Au-
gusto Errazuriz, of the Chilean
embassy. Conrado Traverse, of
the embassy of Argentina, is also
one of the popular Latin Ameri
can attaches, who has so far
foresworn the ties of benedict.
Capt. Heraclito Graca Aranha of
the Brazilian embassy, another
bachelor, is both well liked and
well known here, and entertains
often and quite delightfully."-.
=
.THE British embassy claims a
number of the well-known
younger members of the corps.
Capt. F. L. Tottenham, R. M;
Wing Commander NJ. G. Christie
and A. H. Hamilton Gordon are
all bachelors whose ranks are
reinforced by Hugh V. Tenant
and Leander Mccormick Good
hart of the same staff.
Baron Leopold Plesson, of the
German embassy, is the lone
bachelor there, while at the
Italian embassy, the list is dis
tinguished by the ambassador,
Prince GeIasio Caetani, as well as
Guido Jung Baron di Giura and
Renato SiIenzi, all on the en-
bassy staff. Mr.. Silenzi's excel
lent work on the Cabaret Fan
tastique is, still a source Of won
der to all of us.
Felipe Espil, charge d'affaires
of the embassy OF Argentina, is
also remembered with the bache-
lors, as is ]. Alvarez de Buena-
vista, of the Peruvian embassy.
Constantin Brun, minister of
Denmark, is one of our most dis
tinguished unmarried diplomats,
while DR.. Paul Lessinoff Of the
Bulgarian legation is also one of
the magic number. Andor de
Hertelendy, of the Hungarian
legation, and Jose Corondo. of
the legation of Colombia, are also
important members of the bache-
lor diplomatic set.

Seine Rising Faster and
 Paris Faces Bad Floods

Paris, Dec. Sl.--The Seine was ris- ing faster than ever this morning and expert observers said it would prob- ably continue to do so all this week. Parisians are beginning to ask whether they are to live over again the ordeal of the inundatlon of 1910 when the river passed the 27-foot mark. Crowds watch the swollen yellow stream as it rolls through the city whirling timbers, barrels and miscellaneous wreckage to the sea. The prefect Of police visited the flood threatened suburbs last night alM made arrangements with the civil and military authorities for the evacua- ton and shelter Of the inhabitants who, it seems more than likely. will have to leave their homes at no dis tant date.
