There was all unusual number of attractive young diplomats and the daughters of the spanish. French and Belgian am bassadors were watched for eagerly. while the Turkish amb dor, the first Of that rank from his country and the first Turkish cpresentative of any rank to appear here in years. excited some interest
 In former years one looked for q red fez. and found under it the Turkish minister, but that feature of apparel is no longer used by them and instead it is the symbo! of rank worn by the Persians.

Stearns They slipped into their seats so quietly that only a few persons saw them.
 1t was after the program that many persons met her as she and Mrs. Stearns strolled into the cor { ridor of the ballroom and stood about for some minutes before they were recognized. Mrs. Coolidge wore charming costume for such an event. sufficiently elaborate. fash. iioned of taupe color velvet. the skirt full II inches from the natty strapped shoes Of the same color hosiery matching.

 He added, negligible" expense at tached 10 the poll would be borne 1 by the Legion, in whose monthly magazine he indicated a question naire would be printed Authority for poll such as Spaf- ford proposed. rests only with a na- tional convention, in the opinion of General James A. Drain, past na- tional commander.
