At German Embassy Are Recalled

The first party given by the
Chief of the Diplomatic Mission

wife Tuesday brought again to
mind the lavish and brilliant
entertainments of other German
diplomatic representatives in
this Capital. 1t was just so
years ago this month that
Prince Henry of Prussia, brother
of Emperor Wilhelm Of Ger

ton, and was entertained at the
White House as well as in the
old Embassy, which then was
new, on Highland terrace on
on Massachusetts, avenue.
The embassy building at 1435
Massachusetts avenue was built
by the Imperial German govern
ment about 1890 or 1892. Until
then the German legation had
been in the red brick building at
816 Fifteenth street for many
years. And after the legation
moved there was no time that
building was without at least
one German occupant until the
United States entered World
War I. In those years 1t had
been a fashionable boarding
house, before the days OF apart
ments, and later was turned into
six large apartments.
The site on Highland terrace
was selected by the chief of the
mission. Baron Won Thielman.

to buy property so far away
from the city. The red brick
building with its porte-cochere

study on the ground floor fur

furniture, the chairs and setteeS
upholstered IN black and red
leather. On the walls were
trophies of the chase and crossed
foils were suggestive Of German
student days. There also was a
japanese room and a smoking

the Offices of the chancery.
Luxurious Troppines
Drawing rooms and the din
ing room and one very large
drawing room, which later was
used as a ballroom, were on the
second floor. Handsomely fur
nished, these rooms were well
adapted for entertaining. In one
of the drawing rooms the walls
were covered with handsome
brocade with harmonizing bro
cade on chairs and sofas. The
walls of the building were SO
thick that at the doorwayS there,
were two pairs of draperies, one
for each room. Walls Of another
of the drawing rooms were hung
with priceless tapestries. ex-
quisite in coloring and design.
These as well as the building
have been sold.
The entertaining of Prince
Henry was not unlike that arr

Now that the election is over;

Bering Sea frozen, and all quiet
on NOme's waterfront, the Roof
Garden, as usual, comes at an op-
perfume time and with traditional
custom, long established, brings
the people Of the community to-

ciaI enjoyment and relaxation.
It was not intended by the COM
mittee on program that any pub
Lefty be given to the progress
being made by the group that is
preparing to put on the minstrel
shCw, but the Nugget" reporter
who sneaked in and witnessed
yesterdays rehearsal felt it would
be unfair to the public to allow
such an unusual classical per-
Torrance to 60 unreported. In
the States it would be scoop"
for some cub for his morning
paper. While not giving away
secrets, he tells us that it will be
the talk of the town for months
to come. One member Of the cast
was heard to remark: Its no
fooling to work under Mrs. jack
sons direction, she is precision to
the nth degree" You perform or
you're out.
The committee on concessions,
which covers the games Of chance
representing early pioneer life,
entertainment and customs, adj
wise that you will wonder whe-
Their you are in Nome or Monte

the six-man plane crew might
have found the man in too serious
a condition to be moved.
