whose parents are Russian born resi-
dents of Topeka, the father must
clan and an inventor.
Last Wednesday little Eleanor,
who is seven years old, came down to
see the Ballet Russo, and to dance for
them as we'll. 1t was rather a won
derful sight to see, a tiny flutterlng
figure on the floor of the Colonial
ball ROOM critically watched by
/ Of ia artists.

and rondelleS according to her own
conception. When she got thru the
applause was genuine, and the COM

Il enjoyed very much your little
daughters dancing. L truly THINK she
