State Department Declines
To Interfere, Says Report.

On its face, the ball has no official
status, being merely a charity enter
tainment gotten up by a group Of
women without official connections
for a deserving charity. But the rub
lies in the fact that many OF the
diplomats of other countries have
been asked to assist in making ;hU
ball a success and the Russians feel
ings are a bit hurt 1t is said that
they have even made unofficial rep
resentations to the State Department
that something ought to be done, but
that the department has declared that
the matter was quite outside it's jur-
isdiction.
The American Refuge was founded
by group OF American women, with
Mrs. Marye. whose husband was
American ambassador to Russia, at
its head. Mrs. Meserye was her Sec-
ond in command and became head OF
the organization when the MaryeS
left Russia. Indeed, she is still pres
ident Of the society, and will resume
it's active leadership when she and
her husband return to Russia, as they
expect to do in the not far distant
future.
Mr.. Meserve, who is vice president
Of the national City Bank. Is taking
up the handling OF the European i'm

to sail shortly for Europe, aecompan-
led by Mrs. Meserve. They will make
their headquarters in Paris. but ex-
pect to spend much time in Russia,
where they lived for many years.
The most thrilling feature of the
ball will be the appearance OF six of
Chalifs most famous dancers, who
are coming from New York especially
for the occasion, and who will give
a performance of Russian dance.
This will add no little to the interest
of the evening and the scene will gain
briIliance from the fact that gorgeous
and barbaric head-dresses will be
worn by many of the women. How
ever, the committee Is anxious to
have it known that the wearing OF
fancy head-dress is not obligatory and
that the bal Is in no sense a costume
