Of the army, navy and marine
CORPS etc.-aIl accompanied by the
ladies Of their family. But there
will be few faces familiar from
seven years ago. for the entire
Democratic Administration has been
swept away, the complexion Of the
diplomatic corps is completely
changed and there have been many
changes, too, in resident society,
which will be- Ramerously repre-
sented tonight.
The drawing rooms of the new
embassy are now completed, the fur
nishing- brought from Italy-are in
stalled, and the beautiful building
has very different air than 1t
presented when dashing Prince
Caetani gave his famous costume
bali, his farewell hospitality, there.
Indeed, it was said that the em-
bassy then but half finished, would
never have been in condition for
any sort of party had it not heen
that the workmen were induced by
their affection and regard for the
retiring ambassador to work night
and day for a week before his ball.

and Importance for several reasons.
It win give opportunity for lead
ers of Washington society to meet
Count and Countess Volpi and the
other members of the Italian debt

facts heretofore have been either
strictly official or with small com
panies assembled for luncheon or
dinner.

tfrely ready for occupancy until
mariy IN. December. but in which
Ambassador and Nine. de MARITIME

mpirit moves them.
And finally it is arranged IN
honor of the birthday OF His
Majesty the King Of England and
viii bring to a brilliant close the
celebration Of Armistice Day.
That First Armistice Day
Those of MS who have been long
IA washington are carried back IN
eyitably to that Armistice Day seven
years ago wheR there was another
reception at the Italian embassy.
uianned to celebrate the Kings
birthday and to commemorate an
Italian victory over the Austrians.
The world was mad with JOY that
night and the fete, arranged weeks
before the armistice was signed, de-
veloped into great international
4s1hiIafion. with the official repre-
eentatives of this country and the
Allies foregathering to congratulate
their hosts-Count Macchi di Cellere,
them Italian envoy at Washington,
and Countess di Cellere-and one
another.
President and Mrs. Wilson were
there that night, the first time A1r.

elated, but little bit lefNedown.'
Carnival Spirit

however, it was well concealed.
The street were thronged with
merrymakers, celebrating the fact
that the dogs Of war had at length
been leaShed. And something OF
the same carnival spirit had pene-
trated to the staid precincts of the
embassy, established in the home Of
the late Thomas Nelson Page, then
serving as American ambassador to
Italy. Toasts were drunk to the
United States, to Italy, and to "The
Day" being SO dramatically cele-
brated, and old friends from official,
diplomatic, and resident society
were greeting one another with all
the Joy and abandon of children Let
loose from school. Altogether the
evening fingers In my memory as
perhaps. the most thrilling of my
experience, in spite of the numer-
GUS brilliant receptions for visiting
princes and potentates it has been
my privilege to attend since then.
