80, ali, bevond control the guests began
10 arrive, and by $50 o'clock there were
hundred Of them assembled IN the Green
Roon-a couple Of countesses' one CNl
War veteran, two japanese trst quahty),
u s1gnor and a few women with COMPOUND
names Also there was an indian prince
He WAS not fully dressed, as he was to 90
some Of the dancing.
The baroness herself began the enter
,ainment with some piano work, 1t dld not
take her long to prove that she had a
punch In both hands when II came to piano
v.orl,-especially her left-when she threw
Z, in among the bass notes Every time
sbe did It the big mirror at the south end
of the room almost jumped out Of its
frame.
Then the signor sang-Signor Sorrentno.
ubo declared he was Of a distinguished
F1orentine family--he sang grand opera
without any scenery. He had some clothes
on, though-that is. grand opera clothes
After him began the real smoke.
Hindu dance-"Curse of Kali" by Isha'
TAR and Prince Ismail. This was the prince
who did not have much on; in fact, he had
on only some pieces Of cloth and lot OF
strings Of beads.
The prince and his woman companion
began by chasing each other around and
making throaty sounds. Apparently he
had a crouch on" and she was trying
10 get him out of 1t. She danced on her
toes and did a half dozen kinds of Texas
Tommies" all by herself. This brought
the prince out of his gloom with a rush,
and ne began to tremble. Then he grabbed
al her, but missed. He got hold of part Of
her drapery, however, and 1t came off.
Then she did not have on much more thar
he had. Slow work by the baroness al
the plano while a few more things hap
pened, till-well: Ishtar settled II all by
killing the prince He hung around the
rest Of the evening without putting on any
more clothes
Dance Philippine"-that was achieved
by Dogmens, q tanned Igorrote belonging
TO the baroness. Dogmena did a head
hunter and spear dance clothed IN some
beads, few tassels and chocolate colored
tights 1t was some dance, but too much
running around for high society.
After that came the dinner-included in
the s. paid for this entertaInment--and then
the counts and signors and the others
danced.
All Of this, however, was for a purpose
II was the start-off of the International
Artistic Social Club, OF which the baroness
Is president
Its purpose is pretty well told by the en-
tertainment Just described.
