GEDDESES DUE
SOON FOR
VISIT
Return of Former British
Ambassador Awaited
With Interest
BY JEAN ELIOT

I..,.-..n 1ln,. n tho

THE promised visit of Sir
Auckland Geddes; some time
II British ambassador to the
United States, and. Lady Geddes to
Washington is an event awaited
with general interest and en-
thusiasm. For both Sir Auckland
and his charming wife are held
here in most affectionate esteem.
There has never been, to my knowl
edge, an ambassador in Washington
so popular with the younger ele-
ment nor an embassy where the
juniors were so much at home.
Sir Auckland and Lady Geddes
arrived in New York today on the
Mauretania and so far no definite
date has been set for coming to
Washington, but it is on the cards
that they will be much feted when
they do arrive.
remember well my first sight
Of Lady Geddes. My first thought
was How young to be an AMI
bassadress" and my next How
young to be the mother of four
or was it five?-big children" For
at the time Lady Geddes was just
taking over the role of embassy
chatelaine, which she filled SO
gracefully, but she had already
achieved success in the rcle of
motherhood
During the Geddes regime, tennis
enjoyed great popularity with the
British embassy group, for both
the Ambassador and Lady Geddes
were keen players and the younger
attaches naturally followed their
lead. The present British Ambassa-
dor, Sir Esme Howard, prefers
''fives," which in spite OF its name
is played with four on each side,
and there are daily games on the
fives court in the embassy grounds,
with members of the staff backing
up their chief.
This game, which is little known
in this country. is nearer akin to
handban than TO tennis Lady Isa-
bella Howard does not go in for
athletics, her interests being rather
of the intellectual and philanthropic
type.
have not heard whether or not
Sir Auckland and Lady Geddes are
to visit the embassy, but imagine
that they will be entertained there.
