COUNTESS MAY
RETAIN BEAUTY
Injured Noblewoman Not AS Badl,
Hurt AS Was First
Feared.

Countess Helene D'Odorvonz. the Rus
Sian noblewoman of this city who was
severely injured when an automobile in
which she was riding with three young
men overturned near Towson, a suburb
or Baltimore, early Saturday morning,
1s rapidly recovering from her injuries
at the st. Luke Hospital, Baltimore.
First reports to the effect that the no.
blewoman's beauty would be perma-
nently marred by the wounds she
received in the accident are contradicted
to some extent today. 1t was at first
thought that the decorations on her
race and head We're far more serious
than they have proven.
The countess, though in great pain
from the ordeal through which she Is
passing. was cheered late Yesterday by
the arrival of her eight-year-old son
from Washington and some of her
friends in this city. The little boy.
Casimir, comforted his mother greatly
by remaining at her bedside until la te
last night.
Countess Helene will probably not be
able to leave the hospital until the lat
ter part of the week, when she will
return to her home, 16OS Monroe street
northwest, this city.
