in diplomatic circles over the impend-

Grouitch, who was Miss Mabel Cor
don Dunlap, of West Virginia.
Servia has come 10 the front very
much during the last few years, espe-
cially during the Balkan trouble, and
it is no exaggeration to say that, az
any rate, so far as the Court OF ST.
James is concerned, Nine. Grouitch's
personal popularity has been of i'm

M. Grouitch, has been recalled to
Belgrade to take UP an important
Government position, but before leav-

On Tuesday Nine. Grouitch was
the guest of honor at luncheon
given by American society women

its representative character may be
CLEANED from the names of some of

lister and his wife, American Ambas-
sador and Mrs. Page, the Japanese
Ambassador and his wife, the Greek
Minister, Sir Gilbert and Lady Par
ker, MIS- Alec Tweedie, and hun
bred others equally well known.
Before leaving London, Nine.
Grouitch gave her views on "Ameri-
can women abroad" topic on which
she should be an authority, for she
has had exceptional advantages and
opportunities for studying her fell
low-eountrymen during her residence
in London.
at is often said that 1t costs a for

matter of fact, any woman of good
breeding and refinement possessed of
a moderately comfortable income, will
be received with open arms, provided
she comes to Europe properly intro
duced and really mas something to
back her up with in the way of in

In other words, she must prove
herself worth while among those who
really count for something.
Must Be Refined.
Maybe she has made name for
herself in her own country as a
scholar, a patron OF the fine arts, as
charity leader or what not. Then she
only needs the added virtue Of being
well bred and refined in order to be
eligible for a place in London society.

tween the parties most concerned
while Earl Fitzwilliam was being
"whitewashed" by royal, command, :
and the separation Of Alexander
Frederick Leslie Melville and his
lovely and spirited wife, Beatrice, was
being arranged. The divorce suit was
settled which Leslie Melville brought,

the deed Of separation, Melville, a
wealthy banker, is to allow his wife
$1,000 a year and pay. all debts con-
tracted by her and their children up
to date. It is also said that one con-
dition of the sett-sment, or, rather, the
dismissal of the suit, was that, in con-
slderation Of Melville not offering
any evidence to support the accuse
tons in his petition for divorce. he
is to be absolved from all costs in
connection with the suit.
