been the center of much entertain
ing within the last few days: Prince
and Princess Canatcuzene, who are
guests Of Mrs. Henry F.. Dimock.
In fact, every time they run down
here from New York it is signal
for large dinner party. with one
Of their many. many close friends
as hosts. The princess was Julia
Grant, and Is one OF US, so Washing
ton claims both her and her hus-

now devotinG every energy to rails
ing funds for Russian relief. and
with the aid OF, a committee, of
which Mrs. George Marye Is chair
man, have planned q number Of
spring entertainments as a means
TO raising money for the fund. Sew
tsral of the plans have been dropped
for one reason or another. but the
plans for a ball seem to be getting

every way, with no list of patron
