AS tills been Washington or tiua
been Tokyo, Purls or London?
Since November 11, visitors well
may be excused for asking tills ques
tion. It wns tben tbe forulKiicra
cnnie to town. In n wiiy, WnsliliiR
ton, for tbe second time In Its his
tory, bus been In tbe bunds of the In
viuler. But this time he was on
peaceful mission bent with no thought of burning
the cniiltol and the White House, or of driving
President and Mrs. Harding Into hurried flight,
with a few executive valuables gathered up under
their arms.
The great conference of discussing tbe limita
tion of armaments uud Far Eastern problems has
overshadowed all things. Tbe foreign diplomats
In Washington with their secretaries, councillors
and nttaches and with the wives, sisters nnd daugh
ters, If they had them, always have been strong
factors In tbe solving of tbe problem of how to
Uecp cnpltal society moving. With a thousand or
two additional foreigners here to buttress the so
cial efforts, the really necessary social efforts, of
the resident diplomats, the Old World hns had n
powerful social band over the Now World, as It Is
represented In this good capital of the United
States.
The White ITouso, of course, dominates the em
bassies In every social sense, but It Is tbe only
feat of social activity and social influence In Wash
ington which has so dominated them this winter.
In society, Interest in tbe foreigners nnd In their
loIngs temporarily has clouded Interest In the so
cial doings of the congressional, the Judiciary, the
army and navy and the residential coteries.
All the visiting foreigners, great and near great,
have made the embnssles of their country their
rallying places. Thero have been "so ninny of tho
French, Hrltlsh, Italian, Japanese and others here
that no embassy has been big enough to bold all
Its countrymen even for a rapidly coming nnd go
ing reception, but the embassies are home soil and
there not only Is tbe nhtlonnl standard displayed
for each country, but there Is set nlso what may
be called tho coclal standard for all tho "alien do
ings." Tho ambassadors and ministers of foreign coun
tries nnd their families always have been hos
pitably Inclined. It is, of course, a part of diplo
matic duty to maintain relations with other coun
tries through the medium of tho teacup. They
arc back today to pre-war conditions with a good
deal added to make them powerfully attractive.
Jules .7. Jusserand, ambassador from France.
Is dean of tbe diplomatic corps, having arrived In
this country to assume the duties of bis ofllce
Februnry 7, 1003. This gives him ton yenrs moro
servlco than bis nenrest competitor, Senor Rlnno,
tho ambassador from Spain. During this nearly
score of yenrs Ambassador Jusserand hns so fa
miliarized himself with Americans and Amerlcnn
affairs that ho well might be called an American
himself.
The social activities at tho great French em
bnssy on Sixteenth street are directed by Mine.
Jusserand, who was born of American parents'
'icslding in Pnrls at the time of her birth. She
speaks French and English equally well. As hosts
tbe French ambassador and his gracious wife have
no superiors In this or nny other city. It is np
j parent to anyone nt rill familiar with tho person
nel of tho foreign colony In Washington that tho
dean of tho corps nnd his wlfo are looked up to
as leaders for whom one and all have a sincere
admiration nnd deep affection. This Is the feeling
nlso, of most people who know them, for tho Jus
bornmls linve inndo many strong nnd lasting friend
fcblps in the lnrge circle of Americans who, through
the exigencies of politics, linve been hero for a
longer or shorter time.
It is tho custom of diplomats to make more or
less frequent visits to the homo Innd and up to tho
time of tho beginning of the great World war In
1014 tho French ambassador and Mine. Jusserand
always spent the summers in Europe. They wero
thero when tho war torch set Europo on Ore, but
managed to get back to this country, traveling
Separately and Incognito. Then, whllo tho strlfo
continued, they remained hero constantly, never
leaving Washington for more than a few days at
fWoro ertvejrrrvi treoven wor
a time. Their relaxation consisted of a drive each
afternoon In their victoria, drawn by a span of
horses nnd recognized by nil people In this region
by tho tricolor cockades In the tall hats of tho
driver and footman. I
The French ambassador has adopted the Amer
ican breakfast. When weather penults, ho takes
It on the roof of the embassy instead of following
tho custom with which all travelers to France aro
familiar. Also, when tho weather Is congenial,
afternoon ten Is served on a porch. It Is at these
teas, quite Informal, that the Jusscrands' get In
close touch with Washington society, official, dip
lomatic and others. On these occasions Mine. Jus
serand presides over the teacups with tho digni
fied simplicity that characterizes her at all times.
She Is always well gowned, never overdressed,
never appearing in anything approaching tho
bizarre.
It Is considered of the utmost Importance to all
tho members of the diplomatic corps that they
make their calls at the home of the dean and his
wife as soon us possible after their arrival In
Washington. It would bo hard to estimate how
many calls have been made In this way, hundreds
surely, and possibly thousands. As tho number
of diplomats Is small compared to the rest of tho
people who figure In Washington society, all of
whom make many calls each year on the Jusscr
ands, a person mathematically Inclined might find
some amusement In computing the approximate
number of visits which probably have been made
at the French embassy during the pnst eighteen
years.
To the casual visitor In Washington, the em
bassies and legations seem practically inacces
sible, whereas such is not the case. To say tho
official homes of the foreign colony nre easy of
access would bo nearer the truth. Tho represen
tatives of other countries and their families go
more than hnlfway to meet Americans. It is true
they follow tho rules and regulations Inld down
by polite society and are punctilious nbout calls,
precedence und other social nmcnltlcs, but they
arc most appreciative of courtesies which bring
them In moro intimate touclt with the affairs out
side of diplomatic formalities.
It is n pretty safe statement to say that all
diplomats speak at least one langungo other than
that which Is native to them. The majority do
better than that nnd nro more or less familiar with
half u dozen pr so, speaking more than half of them
fluently. It has been noticeable that for some
years the wives of the men who aro sent to Wash
ington from countries in all parts of tho world
have perfected themselves In languages.
Thero aro two ways of placing the rank of the
heads of embassies and legations, in tho matter
of precedence ut society doings the ambassadors
rank tho ministers, irrespective of tho length of
. time of residence here. For instance, tho minister
of Portugal, Viscount d'Aite, camo to Washington
Just nine moctlis before tho French ambassador,
M. Jusserand, an'lved. However, all tho ambassa
dors must pass ahead of tho viscount and all tho
wives of tho ambassadors, would precede tho wlfo
of Viscount d'Aite, If ho had one.
Tho other method of rating tho embassies takes
Into consideration the order of their establishment
In Washington. Tho founding of embassies hero Is
a part of history and goes deeper to tho root of
international relutlons than tho appointment of
ambassadors. Tho importance of tho British em
bassy cannot be underestimated and yet Sir Auck
land Geddes, tho British ambassador, must tako
his place tenth in lino because nine colleagues ot

other countries were appointed to serve In Wash
ington before, he was.
The British embassy, a great building on Con
necticut nvenue, whose warm red brick exterior,
has recently received n coat of yellow pnlnt, al
ways has been tho scene of frequent social hospi
tality. Today It has, as ambassador and host, n
genial and -naturally social chief. Lady Geddes
Is American bom. a fact which probably Is duly
appreciated by her husband today In more ways
than one, for this American wife ot a Iirltisn am
bassador knows whnt the visiting foreigners expect
and what Americans expect, and knows how to
conlescc things so that tho social current moves
smoothly although it must move rapidly.
The Japanese aro great entertainers. All Wash
ington likes to go to the nlTnlrs given either by
the Jnpaneso ambassador, Baron Shldehara, and
his wife, the baroness, or by his Juniors in rank
and place. Ordlnnrlly tho Japanese ladles wear
the evening gowns of western usage, but occasion
ally and probably with sighs of relief they appear
in tho corafortnblo nnd beautiful costumes of the
homeland. A real Japanese reception Is n feast
for the eye and Washington todny more than ever
before knows what real Japanese social affairs
can bo In picturesque effectiveness.
The Baroness Shldehara, who left Washington
seme months ago with her children, hns recently
returned. During her absence tho ranking lady
was Mme. Saburl.wlfo of the first secretary of
tho embassy, and In the absence of tho wife of
the ambassador bIio acted as hostess at tho great
formal affairs given by tbe ambassador. Mme.
Snburl formerly was lady in waiting to the empress
of Japan, and her husband, Mr. Sndito Saburl, was
tutor to the crown prince. Both are clever lin
guists, spenklng English fluently.
B; Is customnry for all hostesses of embassies
and legations to be assisted at receptions, teas
or whatnot by tho members of the staffs, their
wives, sisters, daughters and mothers If they bap
pen to possess them. One rarely hears of an enter
tainment being given by u diplomat outside of tbe
official residences. It naturally follows that these
official homes must be of generous dimensions.
Some few are owned by the home governments,
but the mnjorlty nre leased. Tho Mexican gov
ernment has purchased the residence on Sixteenth
street of former secretary of the treasury, Frank
lin MacVeagh, for uso as an embassy. Itussln,
whoso emissary occupies an nnomalous diplomatic
position, owing to tho chaotic condition of Bus
slan governmental nlTalrs, purchased tho great
Tullman rcsldenco some yenrs ago. It stands on
Sixteenth street n few blocks north of tho White
House. Just across tho street from the Mexican
embassy, tho Cuban government has erected a most
pretentious legation to house Its representatives.
The British government owns Its embassy and tho
legations of China, the Netherlands and Slam aro
tho property of tho countries which they represent.
All tho foreign official residences nro located with
in n certain radius, a wide ono to bo sure, In the
northwestern part of tho national capital.
During the past few years and sluco the war tbe
embassies and legations have increased materially
in number. There are 44 official foreign homes
here. Twelve of them nre embassies and 84 are
legations. As soon as International relntlons aro
thoroughly established between tho United States
and Germany and Austria thero will bo two more.
Before thu limitation of armnments conference
brought the vnst number of temporary diplomats
to Washington there were approximately 400 mem
bers of tho corps In residence here. Four embns
ales nnd one legation are presided over by wom
en who, before their marriages, wero Americans.
This Is not a large number compnrod with some
former years, when the number rnn up to more
than twice that. It is Interesting to learn what a
mixture of nationalities through Intermnrrhigo
there Is In tho diplomatic corps of Washington.
For example, Kumanla Is represented by Prlnco
Blbcsco, whoso wife, tho princess, Is tho dnnghtcr
of former Premier Anultl! of Great Britain.
The assistant military attache of the Italian em
bassy Is Curtain Carlb Huntington, whoso last
name Indicates his American ancestry. Many Euro
pean diplomats have contracted International mar
riages, but those from the Latin-American coun
tries and from Asia almost Invariably marry wom
en of their own race. However, tho counsolor of
tho Chinese- legation, Mr. Yung Kwal, has, for his
wife, u Massachusetts woman. They have u largo
family of children who, unllku thu majority of
foreign children In Washington, nre being brought
up as Americans.
Tho past year has seen many changes In the
personnel of the diplomatic corps. Italy has sent
a new ambassador, Senor HIccI, who with his
wife, tho, ambassadress, nre taking un Important
part in the, social side of the cplUtl city lift.

Will your "Good Morning'
last all day?
Easy to start from tho breakfast table with
zest and enthusiasm, but how easy is it to
keep on? Does ambition last, or lag, Q3 tho day

The afternoon "slump" Is a factor to be count
ed upon, in business or social life.
Usually, there's a reason.
Nerves whipped by tea or coffeo won't keep
on running, and they won't stand constant
whipping.
Many a man or woman who lias wished tho
afternoon would bo as bright as the morning has
simply been wishing that the nerves wouldn't
havo to pay the natural penalty for being whipped
with the caffeine drug.
Po3tum gives a breakfast cup of comfort and
cheer, without any penalties afterward. There's
no "letting down" from Postum no midday
drowsiness to make up for midnight wakefulness;
no headaches; no nervous indigestion; no increase
of blood pressure.
Think it over. There's full satisfaction in
Postum a cup of comfort for anybody (the
. children included), any time.
You can get Postum from your grocer or
your waiter today, and probably you'll begin to
havo better tomorrows, as so many thousands
have had, who havo made the change from coffee
to Postum.
Postum comes In two forms: Instant Postum (In tins)
made instantly In tho cup by tho addition of boiling wator.
