From Europe's War.
By RUTH ELEANOR JONES.

Washington is entertaining a distin-
guished stranger in the person of the
Countess Dumas, an American by birth
but French by marriage and adoption
VINO has closed her charming home in
Paris and come to Washington to work
for the general relief fund for the suf-
ferers on the other side Of the water.
Countess Dumas, though born in the
United States, was educated largely
abroad and has lived in Paris since her
early youth. Size married a French
nobleman and her hotel in Paris, in
the most delightful section of the city,
near the Champs Elysees. has been a
gathering place for the wit and beauty
Of the French capital for some years.
She herself is continental in appear
ance, with a manner that bellies her
American birth, and speaks English
with a pleasant precision OF accent that
is very charming. She is auburn of
hair, a grande dame to her finger tips,
with just an elusive suggestion Of the
Divine Sarah" in her halcyon days.
We hardly realized how gay We were
in Paris before this trouble broke" she
said. "A round of dinners, teas, and
luncheons, long gay days at the races,
the opera and the theater, people in
