Nine Bakhmetef, wife OF the Rus
sian Ambassador, thus far this season
seems 10 be the only woman of the
summer colony that is having a streak
Of hard luck. but she has reason to
believe that her luck has changed.
The Fourth Of July was the shifting
point, and Nine BakhmeteG will prob
ably remember the day. During the
last week of June she had the mis-
fortune to lose her diamond horse
shoe brooch. containing thirty-seven
diamonds. and valued at about $4,000
on July her pet parrot, rather ac-
complished bird rs parrots 90, made
its escape from the embassy and
wandered of in the trees OF the estate
and then finally went over into the
Casino grounds. though this was not
known until the following morning,
same time one Of Nine. BakhmeteH's
pet dogs was i'll. On the Fourth, how
ever. the brooch came to light again
through the alertness Of a polceman;
the parrot was captured early in the
morning Of the same day, and tho pet
dog was reported as being improved in
health
