Mr.. Masaryk is sailing on Tuesday

Czecho -Slovak legation in England

Washington's loss.
Young Mr.. Masaryk had tea party
for the legation staff and members
OF the Czecho-Slovak colony In Wash
ington and Baltimore just before
leaving He was also host at small
luncheon at the Shoreham and a num-
Der of parties were given for him.
40 much of the entertaining OF the
week centered about this charming
young man, the son OF the President
OF Czecho- Slovakia, whose departure
will leave such gap among the
younger memberes OF the diplomatic
corps.
For the rest entertaining was
confined TO informal luncheons and
dinner parties at the clubs-such as
the dinner which Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam A. Hill had last night for their
guest. Mrs Bartram, of New York. and
the luncheon which Mr.. and Mrs. NAL

According to the Marquise de Fon-

a lady who is half American and who

The Latin-American contingent OF
the diplomatic corps is to be aug

tavio Beeche. minister of Costa Rica,
who has already presented his cree
dentials to Secretary Colby. and DR..
Julio Bianchi, minister of Guatemala,
who reached New Orleans on Thurs
day and has probably arrived in
Washington by this time. Each was
borne to Washington on the wave
OF revolution. The upheaval in
Costa Rica took place two or three
years ago, but President Wilson re-
fused to recognize the Tinoco regime
and has only just consented to re-
sumo diplomatic relations. The revo-
luton in Guatemala was recent

eight leaders of the unionist party

president of the republic.

MANY NEW ENJOYS
HAVE NOT ARRIVED.
On the other hand, there were few
newcomers present, for. although
many important changes in the corp,
are scheduled for this autumn, MOI
OF the new ENJOYS have not yet ar
rived. or all the changes on the
carpet. perhaps the most important is
the appointment of Baron Carlo Aliotti
to the post of ambassador of Italy
I succeeding Baron Romano Baron
Alotti's name was formally presented
to the State Department by the Ital-
ian government on Wednesday, and
undoubtedly by this time the assur-
ance that he is persona grata 20 ,ne
United States has oeen conveyed to
Rome with equal formality. Baron
Aliotti already has friends in Wash
ington. having once been attached TO
the embassy here as secretary, 80 his
arrival is waited with considerable
interest.
on the other hand, regret that the
Romanos are leaving is widespread.
They identified themselves very close
ly with Washington society immedi-
ately after their arrival, entertaining
great deal and being entertained
even more extensively. And they
made themselves generally and gen
timely popular. Moreover, IL was
promised that little Miss Yolanda Ro-
mano was to make her debut this sea-
son-and Washington does dearly love
an embassy bud.
Baron and Baroness Romano and
little Miss Yolanda are spending this
weekend in New York and just before
leaving the baroness told me that
their plans were quite indefinite. she
did not know-or was not in a posi-
ton to tell--where they were going
nor could she tell me how soon. One
hopes. however, that their departure
will be deferred as long as possible.
Baron Aliotti has had an interest
ing career. He belongs to an Italian
family long established in Smyrna,
where his father made a fortune as a
rug merchant and where his brother
still carries on the business. He has
served in Washington and Paris as
secretary of embassy, conducted with
considerable success a difficult spe-
cial mission to Pekin and has been
minister to Mexico and to Greece, In
the later capacity he did remarkable
work In settling differences between
his own county and Greece, which
threatened at one time to disrupt the
peace conference. Perhaps his most
spectacular exploit, however. was the
way in which he won the confidence

the throne Of Albania as the result OF

BELAsC0-"Every Little Thing. y

The same Psychology which renders
tne VISITOR to a popular bathing
beach impervious to shock frees
Every Little Thing" which opened
convincing atmosphere Of impro-
priety: The very frankness of the
material and verbal disclosures kills
their suggestiveness. Although
boudoir. bathroom, neglige and even
lingerie figure in the farce, they give
the impression of stage properties
rather than honeSt-to-goodness inti-
mate affairs to be used and worn.
The costumes. gowns and wraps are
beautiful. and they are worn with
distinction. especially by Paula Shay
and Constance Beaumar. The piece
brings some honest laughs. but the
instrument probably will have to be
a bit before it makes the success
hoped for in New York. where it is
destined to open in couple of
weeks.

Miss Beaumar, as the blackmailing

the diaphanous pajamas of the hus-
bands wife, which she dons in her
determination to remain on the
premises all night rather than depart
without the $4,000. A certain amount
of plausibility is given the story by
the wife's desire to shield Marty and
reconcile him and Helen. The former
comes to the rescue of the distressed
and prosecuted husband by announc-
ing that the beautiful stranger has
followed him to this homo to which
his subconscious, hazy mind led him.
Amusing situations are created by
the efforts of the characters to hide

their distress.

years ago by Bret Harte: under the
title,- Fighting Cressy." is being
shown in photoplay form at Cram
