The Polish national costume dance
which was arranged by the Polish
ladies of Washington last Monday
was received with tremendous enthu-
! siasm.
| One of the important features was a
tableau showing Poland in shackles
and Poland resurrected. The first
| picture caused the audience to ponder
over the condition of an oppressed
country, but when Uncle Sam re-
moved the shackles Poland again be-
| came herself and received amid loud
acclaim a palm of victory.
The entire audience was satisfied
with the tableau. which showed the
close relationship existing between
| Poland and America, Poland in turn
| gave a bouquet of flowers to Uncle
| Sam. Dressed in the national cos
| TUNES and in white dresses, several
little children carried flowers. Miss
| Wojtik gave several violin selections
including Polish national hymns. The
several Polish national dances were
pleasing to the public. Refreshments
| and dancing followed the program.
Folk dances were a feature of the
Polish costume dance given in Car
roll Hall Monday night by the White
Cross of Washington and the local
branch of the Polish Relief Society.
The proceeds will go to feed the
| starving children of Poland.
! The committee was composed of
Mrs. Sniegoski, Mr.. Zelazni and Mr.
Heinerich. Participating in the
dances were Mrs. Sniegoski, as "Po-
land; George Campbell. as Uncle
