Spore-7ime Diplomat Prepares
For Royal Visit Sunday
Luxembourg Envoy
Hopes to Solve
New Problems
BY ALFRED TOOMBs.

Diplomatic relations between Cor
nelius Jacoby and the United States
are heading into the silk-topper-
and-morning-coat stage. There
may even be an exchange of notes
before the week is over.
For Mr.. Jacoby is the representa-
tive In Washington of the Grand
Duchy of Luxembourg, which is
sending its Prince Consort and
Crown Prince to Washington Sunday
to call on President Roosevelt. Mr..
Jacoby finds himself in something
OF the same position as the British
Ambassador last June.
Mr.. Jacoby is an American citizen
who does his diplomacy in his spare
time. He has found that he can
represent Luxemburg between the
hours Of noon and pm, with SIS
minutes out for lunch. It has al
ways been easy work and this is a
good thing, because Mr.. Jacoby
doesn't get paid. In fact, 1t costs
him money. {.
Luxembourg is very economical
country he says sadly.
New Problems.
The royal visit is presenting a few
new problems, but Mr.. Jacoby is
hoping to get through it without
seriously disturbing his normal
routine. Prince Consort Felix and
Crown Prince Jean haven't gotten
around to letting him know lust
what time they are arriving on
Sunday, but he is expecting word
hourly.
Luxembourg is a pin-point on the
map OF Europe 1t has 999 square
miles Of territory and a population
OF about 100000 1t lies on the
border between France and Ger
many and has been one of the most
persistent innocent bystanders of
all history.
Mr.. Jacoby was born in Luxem-
bourg and came to this country 30
years ago. He was naturalized
in 1916.
Fifteen years ago the govern
ment of Luxembourg asked Mr..
Jacoby to handle its diplomacy here
and he agreed. He is a civil engi-
neer and works for the Southern
Railway.
His diplomatic career up to this
point has been pretty calm. Mostly
his business has been to issue visas.
act IN deportation cases and get
Luxembourg citizens out Of whatever
trouble they get into.
Bridge Would Be All Right.
Il tried to get one Luxembourger
out OF Jail down in Miami not so
long ago. he said. But he told me
not to bother. He said he liked the
jail flne-much better than Europe ;"

The Roma was to have sailed to-

Every once in while he has to
deliver some note to the American
State Department from his govern
ment. But he doesn't see much
sense in this business and speaks
lightly of the other diplomats who
deliver notes around the world.
"They just spend their time like
messenger boys"
Because he was away from the
city when the idea of the royal visit
first was developed, Mr.. Jacoby has
not been IN on all the plans. The
New York Consul-also volunteer
has made most of the arrangements,
with Mr.. Jacoby helping when he
could.
He doesn't plan to entertain the
royal pair while they are here. He
doesn't get expenses from the Lux
embourg government and he's afraid
he couldn't afford to keep a couple
OF princes over the week end in the
style they are accustomed to.
Mr.. Jacoby, as matter of fact,
has to buy the stamps when he
wants to send note back to the
foreign minister. He doesn't mind
this. He'll buy stamps, but not
caviar.
He is glad the princes are coming
and hopes to have a little time to
talk with them, over a bottle of
Moselle wine-for which Luxem-
bourg is famous.
Mrs. Jacoby has bad cold and
she may miss her husbands day of
glory. Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby, with
their daughter Betty, live at 5423

to play bridge and Mr.. Jacoby ad-

In West Virginia they don't have

and shiny badges, he wanted to play

THERE were five of them sitting
on the front porch. Great
punches of wistaria trembled and
sWayed in the breeze. But out in
the street the merciless sun beat
fiercely down.
Big Bob, as they called the ED
est son of the family, was lounging
back in the most comfortable chair
the piazza afforded, reading the
newspaper.
Aunt Sue, her gray hair framing
her round placid face, rocked gently
as she embroidered a pink dress for
Edith, who sat, slim, silk-stock-
nged legs crossed, at her feet, on
the top step of the piazza.
Warren, with his brown owlish
eyes, was bending over box of
insects which he was examining
with microscope.
The twins, Annabel and Isabelle,
were giggling loudly over a fashion
magazine.
The front door opened and Mrs.
Hlnston came out. Her little, old
face was framed in a black bon
net of the style of 20 years before.
She stood before them, smoothing
with nervous fingers the folds of her
quaint, bright red dress.
I'm just going down town." she
said. Il must get some fruit for

When Mrs. Hinston had gone,
Annabel threw down her magazine.

CAROL did not notice the loss of
- her diamond until she had
dressed to be in readiness to take
her place as hostess in the living
room, to wait for her young guests.
She went to the kitchen to put the
ring on. She had hurriedly laid it
on the cupboard shelf when she was
mixing the cake. Lo and behold, it
was gone!
She spent a panicky half-hour
searching. Where could it be?
What would Will say? He would be
sure to notice that it was not on
her finger. He was always so OBJ
serving. Audrey found her in tears,
frantically searching under the ice
chest.
''Why, SIS" she cried, "your

all wrinkled-and dirty, too, if your
floor weren't always so spotlessly
clean"
Carol raised woebegone face.

Carol bathed her face. She would
try to forget about the ring until
after the party. If anybody had
taken it, he would already have
gone so far that it would take no
greater effort to find him later in
the evening than now. She mashed
the Strawberries for the shortcake,
put the finishing touches to the pref
ty table, took a last look at the
dainty mounds of lobster salad and
the bowl of satiny cream for the
shortcake, and was ready to meet
viii with smile. She confessed to
him about the lost ring.
Don't worry, old DEAR" he re-
assured her. "I'n call up McLel-
Ian later. He would find it if it
had been swallowed by Jonah's
whale"
Carol was sorry for Kip. There
really was nothing slow about him
at all. He was perhaps a little re-
served at times, and he did work
very hard to get somewhere, which
was certainly to his credit.
Carol sighed softly. She wished
that Kip would take matters into his
own hands and make Audrey be
sensible, for Audrey was the kind
that would make a fine little wife
for a man, once she settled down to
it.
Carols call to supper brought the
happy, hilarious couples away from
the lure of the victrola, and the
moon, which shed it's romance over
the front veranda. They came in
laughing groups to the supper table.
Will served the shortcake. He
was a general favorite, and his
laughing comments that accompan-
led each plate evoked considerable
amusement.
"There's a button baked into one
of these pieces" he warned them.
"The one that gets it will be lucky
winner"
Kip brought Audrey her helping.
She was half through eating it, when
she started up with gasp.
Funny kind of buttons you use
in this house," she cried, holding
up Carols diamond. when did
you start to sew diamonds on
Wills shirts, Carol?"
She slipped it on her sisters fin
ger. Tiny particles of shortcake

she had time to protest.
