LONDON. Dec. 13.—Mr. and Mrk
Francis B. Sayre spent a busy day
to-day, the greater part of which was
taken up in their visit to Dr. Ba?-
nardo’s home for orphans in the Fast
End of London. Both Mr. and .Mrs.
S^yre are extremely interested in set
tlement work and have devoted con
siderable of their time since their
arrival to studying methods here.
Soon after breakfast this morning
ihe Sayres left Ambassador Page's
residence in the Page automobile and
were driven to Stepney, in the East
End, where one of Dr. Barnardo’s
homes is located. Their route lay
through the center of the London
slum district and Mrs. Sayre was
much interested in the sights.
Their visit to the Barnardo home
was unexpected. but Mr. Wright,
general manager for Dr. Barnardo.
welcomed the Sayres and conducted
them through the home. Mrs. Sayre
displayed the utmost interest in the
arrangement for bringing up the chil
dren and said she had never before
seen* so many chubby and healthy
appearing youngsters.
The children were somewhat shy
at first, but soon warmed up under
Mrs. Sayre’s smiles and after she had
given a short address the children
followed her about the building.
When she and Mr. Sayre left sev
eral hundred of the children gathered
near the door and gave them a hearty
cheer.

Older forbidding the marriage of his
j nieee, Princess Irene Alexandrova*,
daughter of the Czar's sister, Grand
: Duchess Xenia, to Count Soumaroknff
| Elston, son and sole heir of Princess
Yousseupoff, the richest woman in
| Russia, will be obeyed.
The marriage has been officially
; declared off but society is inclined to
believe that the match was a genuine
love affair apd that, regardless of the
wishes of the 1'zar or other members
of the royal family, the marriage w ill
take place.
It was learned to-day that the
Czar’s order was brought about bv
representations made by Dowager
Queen Alexandra, of England, to her
sister, the Dowager Empress Marie.
The Count at present is an under
graduate at Oxford University and
the reason put forward by Queen
Alexandra toward stopping the mar
riage are said to have arisen from
an undergraduate escapade in which
the young Count figured prominently.
Empress Marie was deeply inter
ested in the proposed alliance and she
took the matter up with her son, the
Czar. Within a few days the formal
announcement was made that the
wedding would not take place.
Princess Irene and her mother are
now in London and have announced
their intention of spending a major
portion of the winter there so Prin
cess Irene can be near her fiance.
