A letter TO The Star from Bucharest
dated January IS. says that one Of the
largest and most sympathetic gatherings
of the Bucharest Society in the last few
years occurred the day previously at the
American legation. The occasion was the
last lat home of Nine. knowles, wife
OF the American minister, Horace G.
knowles, who has been recently appoint
ed to post in South America. and be-
cause of that will soon leave Bucharest
The announcement was made that Nine.
Knowles would receive her friends Friday
afternoon for the last time, and that was
more than sufficient to remind Buk-
arrests society of its debt of gratitude for
the many delightful entertainments given
by the American minister and Nine.
Knowles and the great loss it will sus-
tain by their departure from Bucharest
The gathering included the best repre-
sentatives of court. diplomatic and Ru-
manian society circles. The royal family
was represented, the king by Gen. Ora
Nine. Poenaro. dame dhonneur, and their
royal highnesses the crown prince and
princess by Gen. Robesco. grand marshal
of the court: Lieut.. Mano and Col. Gre
ciano, aid-de-camp of the prince. and
Nine Greciano. dame d'honneur of the
princess At one time mere than two
hundred guests were assembled in the
beautiful salons of the legation. and the
scene during the animated dancing and
serving of refreshments was one that will
be long remembered by those present. The
guests began to arrive at 4:3O. and it was
nearly 10 o'clock when the last dance fin
ished.
In the short time Minister and Nine.
knowles have been i'm Bucharest. they
have maintained an ideal American home.
without show ostentation. where the
Rumanians as well as Americans al
ways felt at home.
