Nine. Daeschner and Two
Charming Daughters
Survey New Home

UVHE French embassy is rather
bare in this period Of transi-
- ton When the former Am
bassador and Nine. Jusserand left
they took with them many of the
furnishings of the embassy-their
personal possessions, and thus left 1t
somewhat like the cupboard in the
nursery rhyme. To fill this empti-
ness there will arrive soon many
things which the new ambassador,
Emile Daeschner, and Nine. Daesch-
ner had packed and shipped from
France. Meantime, the ambassador
and his wife and daughters, An
fofnette and Irene, are established
in an apartment at Meridian Man
sions. There will be some slight
alterations in the embassy and
later-but not so much later-Mme.
Daeschner hopes to be able to pre-
side over a new and more spacious
embassy. Just now she is a bit dis
appointed over the smallness Of the
present mission.
Whether or not Ambassador
Daeschner will strike a new note in
the Diplomatic relations between this
country and France, it would he
idle to prophecy-but one can
prophecy without hesitancy that
Mime. Daeschner and her daughters
will make the French Embassy
have more varied meaning in the
life of Washington than heretofore.
Nine. Daeschner and the elder
daughter, Antoinette, who is twenty
years old, are keenIy interested in
the political and economic develop
ment of women in America. And TO
this interest Mile. Antoinette brings
an eagerness for social service.
From her weeks observation in.
the United States she feels, how
ever, that she will have little op-
portunity to express this urge, for,
she says, No poor people seem to
be here. At least we haven't seen
any on the streets-like those we.
see in London or Paris, for in
stance.
The last diplomatic daughter. in
Washington who had any predilec-
ton for social service. it seems,
was Mile. Diane de Warzee. daugh-
ter Of the Charge d'Affaires of
Belgium and Nine. de WarZee. who
were in Washington summer be-
fore last. Regularly she went. to
Walter Reed as an assistant in the
work being done there by Mrs.
Eldridge Jordan and a few others.
Mile Antoinette is also planning
to learn a lot about the Girl Scout
movement in this country. Doubt.
less Mrs. Hoover, wife of the Sec
retary of Commerce, who is ma
tional president of the organization,
win find her a valuable asset.
Mile. Irene, the eighteen-year-old
daughter, is an accomplished mu-
sician, although she, too, is mildly
interested in what women and girls
are doing outside of the home"
She suggests somewhat the Irish
girl looking out on life wide-eyed
and eager. Both girls have blue
eyes and very dark hair, which they
wear long and arranged quite
simply. Their mother has brown
eyes and brown hair.
Mime. Daeschner is GRANDMOTHER
and Proud of the Fact.
Nine. Daeschner is a grandmoth-
er-and proud of it-with two
grandchildren a boy, Henri Gerio.,
nearly a year old, and girl about
four months old, named Suzanne
Daeschner. The boy is the child
of the Ambassador and Mime.
Deaschner's oldest daughter, and
the girl is the child of their son.
The Daeschner family highly
prize photograph of Mime.
Daeschner and the grandchildren
taken in Paris. It is a charming
picturei And reveals Nine Daesch-
ner with much more appeal than
any that have been taken in this
country. No photograph does her
justice for none portrays the
spontaneity and simplicity OF her
manner that make her very winning.
