Witold Wankowicz
Of Polish Legation
Locates Home Here
Commercial Counselor. Who
Is Ranking Staff Member,
Head of Charming Family.

Mr.. Witold Wankowicz, commercial
counselor of the Polish legation, who
came to Washington In the late
Winter, Is living with his charming
family in q pleasant home in Nine
teenth street close to Florida avenue
and the children are already well
acquainted with Washington and it's
ways and the elders are attaining this
knowledge in more leisurely fashion.
The commercial attache. who is now
ranking member of the Polish legation
staff and next to the minister, was
previously assigned as assistant to the
Polish delegate to the free city of
Dantzig. He had been in Warsaw
before this service and In coming to
the American Capital, he represents
the minister of commerce and finance
and is especially commissioned to
obtain certain information regarding
agriculture and trade.
Mr.. and Mr.. Wankowicz belong to
the landed gentry of Old Poland, but
through the exigencies Of the war both
lost their ancestral estates, those of
the former having been contiscated by
the Bolshevists in the beginning Of
the conflicts between their army and
that of Poland, and the property of
Mrs. Wankowicz's parents being
placed within the boundaries of Latvia
when the last definite treaty was
signed. Mr.. Wankowicz, though born
in Warsaw. is a member of an ancient
family which owned an extensive
country place at Gdynia, on the east
ern boundary Of what was Russian
Poland. He was reared with the view
of managing these estates and studied
first in the traditional seat of learning
for the Polish aristocracy at the Uni
versity of Cracow and then at Cam
bridge, England. This landed estate
covered more than IA, 900 acres and
would be considered a large one even
in this country, and in Poland it was
almost a self-supporting principality
where foodstuff was grown sufficient
for the needs Of the tenants and the
small towns adjacent, and much was
sold into Germany as we'll All
manner of stock was reared and
trucking occupied much attention,
potatoes, green vegetables and small
fruit bringing in handsome returns,
All that remains now of this splendid
home is a large book of snapshots,
taken in happy days. For instance.
there are pictures of the day that
young Wankowicz brought home his
bride, when the massive iron gates
were trimmed with evergreens and
the entire long road between stately
pines from the lodge to the mansion
was decked with flowers and wreaths
/ OF bright berries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wankowicz were mar
ried January 90, 1915, but SO happily
have the years glided by for both
that they invariably take off their
wedding rings to verify the date. Loss
of property has meant only more
steadfast effort, and when both feel
homesick or little depressed, there
are many books of photos to show the
! children and stories to tell of Poland
