.LONDON, Dec. 11— London’s un-
'c&rtaJu December weather scarcely
appeals to AmerScar.s, who prefer a
more congenial climate, but Ameri
cans resident here and stopping at the
hotels during the past week easily
made up in gayety what they lacked
numerically.
TOarly Christmas partis have been
the vogue among those who will
•hortly sail for home. Many merry
gatherings have been held In the last
few days at the Savoy, Charlton and
the Ritz.
At the Ritz Mrs. W. R. Leeds 1s still
the center of attraction. ^ Her invita

ever on account of t thst sbi
lately haa been wearing some fetch
ing gowns which
•very woman who eees ifiem The
.English women are simply dying to
know the name of her modiste.
Among her principal gueifl; recent
ly has been the Duke of Manchester.
Airs Leeds expects to return to
America shortly.
Lady Canard seems to have d'fi
nitely attached herself to "The Co
terie of Soul*." Her time now is al
most entirely .spent in the < ompany
of the Du chose of Rutland, Lady
Diana Manners, the Marchioness of
Anglezy, who was formerly Lady
Marjorie Manners; Mrs. Asquith and

Christmas in Italy with his wife and
daughter. Thdn he will make a long
automobile trip throughout Europe
with his wife until spring, when Miss
Thorne leaves school. Then ail will
return to America to his home in
Tacoma.
Anson 3urehard left the Ritz for
a trip to Paris Tuesday. He ex pc :us
to be absent a couple of weeks
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cassatt left
Wednesday for Germany to sp^nd a
couple *>f months. Mr. Cassatt said
to the correspondent of ttye Iiearst
papers:
•‘There is a complete absence or
business confidence at home. All the
oig concerns are apprehensive, so this
seems to be the best time to tuke a
• ong vacation."
Potter Goes to Paris.
James Brown Potter, of New York,
has left the Ritz for Paris. During
his visit in London he did consider
able entertaining.
Mr. and Mrs. Charts Altschu!
have arrived for a lengut.v visit, but
«re spending the time rather quietly.

Grand Duchess Loves
To Dance the Tango
By LA RACONTEUSE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 13.—Go to the Cafe
de Paris, In the Avenue de l’Opera,
almost any night after the theaters
close, and you will see a tall, shape
ly. beautiful and distinguished looking
lady, past her first youth, perform
ing the Argentine national dance,
with all the grace and abandonment
of a “chica,” and if you are an
American, of the type immortalized
by Charles Dana Gibson, you will
find it very easy to get an introduc
tion to her and a chance to place
youf arm around her still slender and
supple waist.
The lady is the Grand Duchess
Anastasia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin,
born a Grand Duchess of Russia,
mother of Queen Alexandrine of Den
mark and mother oft he future Em
press of Germany. In love with the
tango from the first moment it came
to France, she seems to find a pe
culiar charm in dancing it in public,
since the day it was forbidden by her
daughter’s father-in-law, the Kaiser.
Dressmakers Serve
Patrons With Wines
Special Cabie to The American.
PARIS. Dec. 13.—At one time the
women who accepted invitations to
dressmaking salons, where there w.;
an exhibition of clothes, won. • pa;
flying visit of a quarter of an hour
and withdraw again. It would never
hav© occurred to them that the dres.--
fiker c•• .1-1 offer ■ m i ':<•> ,
that these could have been accept-
bad they been offered.
American Society Leaders Moving
Spirits in Historic Societies
of the Republic.
By MARQUIS DE CASTELLANE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 33.—I notice with
pleasure a movement among Ameri
can women to Join our useful and ar
tistic and philanthropic wdcietles.
Three of these societies are partlcu- j
larly popular among the more fash-
I enable Paris - American women. j
These are the "Friends of Versailles,’’ j
the "Friends of Fontainebleu," and
the “Friend* of the Louvre." The
names indicate their objects.
The Friends of Versailles do all In
their power to enhance the ancient
glories of that royal town. The cha
teau Is as precious to them as the ap
ple of on# ’s eye. The grand trianion
and the little trianion are to them
most prized gems. The members of \
the society of the Friends of Ver
sailles will permit no act of vandal
ism that they can prevent
President an American.
Although necessarily a French so
ciety, it* president Is a distinguished
American the Marquise DeOanay,
formerly Miss Ridgeway, of Philadel
phia I notice that there are many
royalists in the society, doubtless be
cause they flock to the protection of
the far-famed chateau built by the
mo.* t magnificent of the Bourbons,
Louis XIV'.
Similarly the Friends of Fontaine-
bleu work for it. Here the glories of
Napoleon strive for recognition among
those of Francis I And ladies of Im
perialistic tendencies, like the Mar-
Guise DeDion and the Princess Murat,
alTcct this society. Those of profes
sedly artistic tastes Join the Friends
of the Louvre. ,
Then we have the society known as
the "Friends of Old Paris." Their
struggle is the hardest. They do their
best to preserve those old buildings of
a special historic interest. But prog
ress bars their way, and they are con
tinually at war with architects, to
" hom they supply the adjective "van
dal Those societies and such as
these welcome the co-operation of |
American women. Such co-operation
means much for the preservation of {
the ancient glories of France.
Has Intellectual Side.
There is a distinctly intellectual
side to these societies which Ameri
can women greatly appreciate. There
are high-class lectures which are I
given under their auspices. For ex
ample, the latest of these learned dis
courses was pronounced by M. Ga
briel Hanotaux, formerly Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The lecturer dealt
with the Count DeChambord, the lost
of the Bourbons.
Even at the risk of offending some I
royalists, he told how that cause fail
ed In the years immediately succeed- I
ing the establishment of the republic,
even when royalism was strong in
France.
of well-known American ladles who
have joined one or another of our
friendly societies are Mrs. and Miss
Gebhardt, Mrs. George Audenried, the
Marquise DeWentworth, Miss Hilton
and the Countess DeCoetlogen.
‘Wit f Entertains by
Taking Piano Apart
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 13.—A Paris wit, M.
Gallpaux, is well known for his amus
ing monologues. Recently at an even
ing party his hostess was particular
ly pressing that he should entertain.
M. Gallpaux at last consented.
"I must have a hammer and a
screwdriver," he said, i will give you
a monologue on the way in which |
musical instruments are made.” .
The tools were brought, and the
humorist began to take to pieces the
grand piano, keeping up a' running
stream of amusing patter. At last j
the piano lay a tangle of wires and
keys on the drawing room floor. The |
applause was sincere.
"The only thing is,” whispered M. |
Gallpaux to his overlnslstent hos- j
tess, “I have not the faintest idea j
how to put it together again."
Hard Exercise Hurts

Special Cable to The American.
