summer colony, in which they ap-
peared in series of dances called

Japanese. Korean and other eastern
countries contributed the picturesque
dress. and a handsome sum was raised
for the children of French officers who
fell in action.
\ number of Washington society
folk are also interested in the con-
cert to be given at Greenwich, Conn.,,
for the Serbian children. and with
the Indian pageant at Lake Placid. al

Even the owners have closed their
homes and will live in downtown ho-
tells or leave the city altogether until
more comfortable condition pre-
