at this post until the Spring, when he
plans to join his family in Paris and
take . lengthy vacation. He is not re-
firing from the Peruvian foreign service.

Government, he may receive a pro-
motion in the department OF state.
Mexico having recently elected new
chief executive. a general shifting Of its
foreign personnel is expected. and Senior
Teller has served longer in Washington
than any of the present higher diplo-
mats OF the neighboring republics.

his colleague from Great Britain, Signor
de MARITIME has passed the years usually
devoted to active work and he is anxious
to return to private life.
But one new envoy has been added
to the lengthy list OF nations holding
friendly relations with this republic. Mr..
Eric Hendrix Louw, sent from the Union
Of South Africa, and making the fourth
separate entity of the British Empire
now represented in Washington. Canada,
the Irish Free State and Egypt being
the others. All of these diplomats wear
resplendent uniforms after the British
pattern except the Minister Of the Irish
Free state. But the government nc
Dublin has recently authorized its envoy
here, Mr.. MacWhite, to assume the usual
apparel, and as he had recently been
serving in his own capital and in Lon
don, he is provided with these trap
pings of state. The first Minister sent
from Erin, DR.. Timothy Smiddy. always
appeared in scholastic garb. Mr.. Louw

One Vacancy Noted
In Ambassador List.
OF the IA Ambassadors accredited to
Washington, there will be one absentee
in the numerous coterie of New Year
morning. The Argentine embassy has
been in the care of charge dAffaires,
Senior Julian Enciso. for almost two
years. The President Of the Arsentinian
Republic is about to reorganize his for
| eign service and send an Ambassador
| to washington, but he will not arrive
until Spring. There are many tmpor-
tant new corners in the corps OF Min
listers, those from Poland, Rumania and
Yugoslavia being outstanding and most
interesting diplomats. The Republic OF
Poland has harked back to the days of
supremacy among the monarchies Of
Eastern Europe and the ENJOYS from
Warsaw have been gorgeously attlred
for state occasions. The present Min
lister, M. Tytus Filiowicz, observes all
the Polish traditions with Solicitude and
his uniform will recall the glorious
days before the partition OF Polish ter
ritory in the late eighteenth century.
Czechoslovakia now republic, does
not Calm the royal prerogatives Of the
sovereigns of Bohemia, but has adopted
standards of almost Spartan simplicity.
Germany, Austria and all the northern
republics of Europe have authorized
only civilian attire for their ENJOYS.
This decree has robbed the New Year
pageant of much of its picturesqueness.
but there still remain an appreciate

bassador. Senior Padilla, when in cere-
monial garments is as gorgeous as ever
before. and the French Republic has
always approved of uniform which,
though shorn of much of the gold lace
and embroidery of the Bourbon Kings,
is still an admirably decorated and
striking costume
For several New Year anniversaries,
the members of the corps have been
accompanied to the White House by
the ladies of their families, a conceS-
sion to the rising Importance of the
fair sex in the general scheme OF
things. Lady Isabella Howard has fol-
lowed the custom of Great Britain in
this regard rather than the ways Of her
native land. Italy. The Turkish Am
bassador, who is as radiant In his uni
form as any representative of the Sub
lime Porte ever was, encourages his
stan to have their wives accompany
them on such occasions. In the Scan
dinavian countries, where women have
all the political and social rights, the
resident legation STATS are sprinkled
with the richly furred and handsome
ladies Of their families.
