Alliance Franchise Takes New Lease
On Life Under Daeschner Patronage
With the new French Ambassa-
dor and Mime. Daeschner displaying
keen and active interest in the
activities of the organization, the
Allied Franchise of Washington il
taking a new lease on life. In
deed, the meeting held yesterday
which Viscount de Montezon spoke
on Paris salons of the present day.
was one of the most delightful
events of this Lenten season.
Speaking most informally-he Is
obliged to remain seated because OF
wounds received during the world
war-and in the purest and most
exquisite French, NJ. de Montezon
carried his hearers back to the days
when every great lady in Paris had
her salon. when the art OF CONVEX
safion flourished and when sculp-
tors, painters, musicians. poets and
noveIists were first made known
through their appearance in one
important drawing room or another.
Telling of the drawing rooms
of Nine. Recamier, Nine. de Stael
or George Sand, he contrasted thar
period with today, when there are
but two drawing rooms where one
meets ''alI Paris" artistic
and aristocratic.
One is maintained by the Duchesse
de Rohan and the other by Juliette
Adam. a lively and still lovely OLD
lady of nearly eighty, who manages
to gather most Of the stars OF the
Paris armament about her on her
afternoons at home.
Although just back from their visit
in New York, Nine. Daeschner and
her daughters were present at the
lecture yesterday and / spied also
the Ambassador Of Cuba and Nine.
de La Torriente.
Mrs. Frederick III. Giilett, who
speaks French fluentIy. was present,
as were Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Bel
mont, Mrs. John Biddle, Mrs. Law
renee Townsend, Miss Sarah Lee
and ever so many others prominent
In Washington society. The speaker
was introduced by Lynch Luquer.
Nine. Daeschner has been pres
emit at almost every meeting OF
the alliance since she came to
Washington, the Ambassador ac-
companying her whenever possible.
And, altogether, 1t looks as though
the organization were destined to
flourish again as it did in the days
when Henry White, sometime our
ambassador to France, was its
honorary president. Mile. Limoges
is the active head Of the alliance
in Washington.
The Viseount de Montezon is
spending several days in Washing
ton and today is visiting Mount
Vernon.
