Riano has. however become an
American to all intents and purposes
and his visits to Spain had almost
ceased after the death of his mother
some Is years ago. Washington as
Summer resort was much to his
liking and he found much enjoyment
in the PARKS and suburban clubs.
where he has been often encountered
riding and walking. The Austrian
Minister and Nine. Prodnik are other
devotees of Washington in Summer.
They find much diversion at the pool
in Mrs. Henderson's garden and
their favorite entertainments are,
after q plunge there and a brisk game
OF tennis. to drive to some remote
spot in Rock Creek or in the woods
beyond and have basket picnic.
Several times a week the Austrian
envoy and his wife entertain their
guests in this fashion. They rarely
leave Washington in Summer except
for few weeks on the North Shore,
where Nine. Prodnik's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. James, have a cottage at
Nahant.
Senior Jose Emilio Obregon and
Sonora. Oregon did not, to the great
regret of the several young CubanS
at the embassy, include Washington
in their honeymoon jaunt through the
United States. Sonora de Obregon is
the Younger of the two daughters of
'uba s chief executive. Senior Machado,
and she was before her marriage in
early June SenOrita Angela Elvira
Machado, one of the most popular
bellies of the gay city of Havana. Her
husband is a member of the lower
oh h., I. a.. i
is, besides. n we'll known lawyer. Both
these young people are tennis en-
thusiasts and they were the guests
for some weeks of the Westchester-
Biltmore Country Club. There are so
many distinguished citizens of Cuba
who are in business or following pro-
fessional careers in New York City
that the daughter of the Cuban preSi-
dent and her husband were feted to
the last waking hour and their en-
gagementS were so many that they
could not get to Washington before
the President and Mrs. Coolidge de-
parted for the Adirondacks. The
Cuban Ambassador and his family are
also absent. so It was determined not
to visit the Capital until, perhaps,
next Winter. Senior and Sonora de
Obregon sailed for Europe last week
and will spend the late Summer in
Switzerland.
Miss Elizabeth EolCk. granddaugh-
ter of Senhora da CANA, widow of
the former Ambassador of Brazil,
Senior DomeniCo da Cana, was fre
quentlr a visitor to the embassy in
Washington, and the news of her i'm
pending marriage to Prince Johannes
AloySe de Liechtenstein is received
with interest. Senhora da CANA was
Miss Elizabeth Bell Bates of San An
tonic, Tex, before she married Mr.
Arthur Volck and went to live in
New York Adelbert George Volck
was her only child, and he. with his
wife, were frequently entertained at
the Brazilian embassy here, and after
Senior da CANA was made repre-

of this once sovereign house of the
defunct German Empire. He is the
son of Prince Edward Victor of Lai-

stein and his wife, who was Olga,
Countess de Puckler and Bimpourg.
This tiny principality Of eastern Ger
many, bordering on Moravia, had been
ruled by the feudal family of LEIGH
tenstein since 1249. But little known
to Americans in the geographic sense
or by actual travel, it is familiar to
readers of the George Sand novels
through many scenes of "Corinne or
the Improvatrice' which are laid in
the ancient castle Of the Princes de
Liechtenstein in the small city of
that name. This international mar
riage will probably take place in early
October.
Mrs Henry f. Huntngton's jewels
as listed in the assets of her estate
