Bibesco "tust talked" He's quite like
the Prince Charming OF the fairy
tales. this interesting young diplo-
mat. Tall, dark. handsome, with fne
eyes and q most winning smile. he
looks just tho way a prince should
exceedingly. brilliant and accom-
piished. George Julian Zolnay, presi-
dent of the club-and, by the way, a
countryman OF the prince-introduced
him as one who had won his spurs
as writer. painter and musician and
1t Is generally known that the prince
has written several plays which have
been successfully produced at the
Coincide Franchise In Paris. His In
formal little talk resolved itself into
a plea that the American man should
SO organize his life as to secure
leisure for cultivation of the arts.
As for Princess Bibesco, quite lost
my heart to her and SO. apparently,
did the rest OF the audiencc. She Mas
lovely brown eyes and fascinatingly
mobile mouth and she radiates mag
netism In way which inevitably
suggests Mrs. Nicholas Longwor.h.
Moreover, she Is an exceptionally
clever speaker. having had much
training before she married and left

quote her own words. Her subject
was international friendship and she
propounded the theory that 1t should
be cultivated through the individual
rather than merely through ofYicia
channels. She made a plea for the
rehabilitation Of hate" and the
"dissrmament of feeling" rather than
actual physical disarmament; and
she Illustrated her little talk with
witty anecdotes brilliantly told.
An Informal reception followed the
program-if It might be called a pro-
gram-and everybody present had an
opportunity to meet Prince Bibesco
and this brilliant daughter OF Herbsrt
Asquith and the famous Margot Ten
nant. his wife. The Arts Club, whlca
was transformed into a corner Of the
Latin Quarter for its birthday party
a week or SO ago, was still in it's un-
familiar dress. and there was an
amusing contrast between the fne
old fashioned mahogany with which
the club rooms are furnished ana the
fantastic and amusing creatures with
which the painted walls are deckei.
Pm told that Cleon Throckmor rton,
q very clever young artist. did most
OF the sketches Of beasts which never
were on land or sea, figures made IA
miliar through the Sunday "comics,"
etc, and one can feel the influence of
Felix Aahoney's fine Italian hand.
The whole thing is most enterta ing
and must have contributed amazingly
to the effectiveness of the carnival
with which the birthday party wound
up. r--F
