COUNTESS GLADYS
GETS BIG WELCOME
TO HUNGARY HOME
Stars and Stripes Wave Over
Szechenyi Castle for First
Time.

OERMEzOE, Hungary, April 6.-The
Countess Gladys Szechenyi is spending
her first day at her Hungarian home.
She had a reception that could not
have been outdone had she been a
queen. Over the old castle, for the
first time in its history, the Stars and
Stripes wave.
A company of peasant outriders,
CARRIED in the Hungarian national cos
tune, galloped before and behind her
carriage as she reached her new home;
gypsy bands and dancers lined the
highway; the village children spread
flowers beneath her horses feet and
cried, Hail, our countess!' as she
passed by; the dowager countess kissed
her n turned over the keys of the
estate to her as she entered.
Two hundred dollars in tips to the
servants of the Budapest hotel were
given by Szechenyi as he emerged with
the countess and began the ride to
Oermezoe in a private car, bedecked
with flowers. A cook, a butler and
two maids in charge of forty trunks
accompanied them.
