with a seat in the House of Lords, as
well as the head of a great Roman
family. Lady Isabella entertains
with consummate grace, and she Is
bilingual in her use of English and
Italian, besides speaking several con-
tinental tongues perfectly. There are

With such vast group of $50 mem

vide into smaller groups, and these
are nearly all on the logical racial

far the largest, and with the de-
parture of the French Ambassador
and the promotion of the Spanish to
the deanship, the Chilean Ambassa-
dor, Senior Matthew, becomes vice
dean as well as dean Of the Pan
American nations. Thus the corps is
in the hands of the Spanish group,
the dean from the mother country
and the vice dean from SPANS oldest
and most important former colony,
Chile. The Latin Americans have a
compact and most delightful social
organization, and their dinings, dane
