LONDON.

VUTHY did the Prince OF Wales dance
w only with girls Of the royal set"
at the magnificent costume ball his
sister, Princess Mary, gave to celebrate
his Homecoming from the Orient?
Ask the twelve American beauties who
went to the ball eagerly anticipating a
dance with the Prince-and got not a single
foX-trot They're not miffed, even if they
are disappointed. For they think they
know the answer This is it.
The Prince of Wales couldn't dance with
them because he's engaged to be married.
His action in passing up" Mary Millicent
GvseIs, Alice Hiuiiei Astvr ami tnus., other
lovely American girls wasn't a slight; IL
was simply royalty's way of announcing
that the Prince is now "mortgaged prop
erty."
So London gossips interpret the incident.
They declare the BAH marked the gradua.
tion of the Prince from the ranks Of the
free to the ranks Of the fances. The
Prince, in their opinion, might just as we'll
have sung "Good-by, girls, I'm through"
TO the assembled throng. For he got the
same effect.
Everybody had been expecting some sort
of announcement of the Princes matri-
monial intentions on his return from the
East. But when several days passed and
no statement was issued from BuCkluEudm
Palace rumor drfted the other way. II
was limited in royal ante-roOms that Edward
Albert who is only twenty-eight would not
marry until he is thirty.
And then the Princess Mary gave her
ball. II was to be not only the first big
party in her brothers honor after his long
absence from the social scene, but Princess
Marys first grand flourish in society since
her marriage to Viscount Lascelles
Albert Hall, scene of so many splendid
fetes, was chosen for the event, Invita-.
tions were broadcasted through the social
and diplomatic world. Everybody ~Hho was
anybody In Great Britain had a bid The
ball would be the most swagger affair Of
the Summer season.
OF course, the American colony was we'll
represented on the list OF guests. Never
has London had more American visitors
than this year, and never have so many
of them broken through the barriers OF
British society, Besides the number of
American women who have been received
at court, there are dozens who have taken
townhouses and entertained on a lavish
scale. And their daughters, rich as well as

had every reason 10 expect that she would
fOxtrOt, not once but several times, with
the future King of England. For Miss
Mary Milliccnt Rogers practically had a
date with the Prince OF Wales for a dance
at the costume ball.
The date" was made when the Prince
Of Wales reached New York on his Amer.
lean tour Immediately after the war Tho
Prince had met many girls in Canada and
the United States and danced with quite a
few OF them. But to none of these did he
pay quite so much attention as he did to
Miss Mary MilliCent Rogers.
~ the several elaborate functions which
New York society gave in honor OF the
Prince, Miss Rogers was always present
When he first saw her the Prince requested
an introduction. And thereafter, including
his last night in America, he sought her
for dance partner whenever the orchestra
struck up the jazziest foxtrots.
Miss Rogers was the envy Of every sirl
in the debutante crowd. especially when
she conhded to them that her good.by mes

when she got her invitation to Princess
Marys ball. It is presumable that each
imagined herself a potential dance partner
for Princess Marys good-lookng brother.

High on the list Of these is Miss Mary

girl whose London triumphs have

But not one Of them had danced with the
Prince Of Walesl He had smiled at them,
he had talked with them. But-he didn't
ask them TO dancci Edward Albert con-
fined his dancing exclusively 90 his sister,
Eis cousin and one or two other girls
closely identified with royalty
London gossips had their eyes On the
Prince Of Wales that night. They noticed
with whom he danced and with whom he
didn't. They saw that not only were Amer
lean girls omitted, but a number OF Eng
lish women. whose charm and prestige are
unquestiOued, but who are not Of the royal
set" They noticed, furthermore, that II
they were disappointed none Of these beau
ties showed II.
So London Is saying that something was
whispered into shellpnI ears that night
which kept scarlet lips from pouting. The
whisper, declare the gossips, concerned
certain British conventions which tie a
string to princes when they are engaged

string that ties Edward Alhert-sO the

Czecho-Slovalxia- SO we have a school
for them In our Bohemian National
Hall, where the Czech language is
taught. We bring them into our
Sokol.
You know about our Sokol? Well.
the Czechs are very sociable, you
understand, and we admire strength
and vigor. So we have always had
singing societies and athletic con-
tests and social gatherings The
middle Of the last century. when
Austria was our overlord. two Czech
patriots saw the opportunity in the
scattered societies Hiroslav Tyro
and Zindrich Puegner organized
great national gymnastic association
with chapters in every district, and
they called 1t the Sokol. That name
means hawk Partly. the signifi-
canoe had to do with the ideal of
alert, well developed physique. but it
implied. too. constant watchfulness.
In the Sokols the young men of our
country and the children and the
women, too. were trained to physical
fitness. The scope of the society was
extended to include other activities.
Czech plays were presented and
Czech operas and the folk music and
the dances Of the peasants. And
when the time came for claiming our
freedom we had thousands of strong
men physically equipped for the fight
and inspired with our national ideals.
Again you win say / am across
the Atlantic. But right here In New
York we have two Sokol halls. We
have splendid gymnasiums. and our
second generation Czech boys and
girls are as eager to join in the
strenuous gymnastic work as their
cousins back I'm Czecho- Slovakia.
They keep up the social activities of
the Sokol also. We have presented

They turned back to the fresh, orig

The Czechs in America ve only
lately begun to reall1e the -'chness
of their artistic inheritanca - over
to the John Huss church and neigh
borhood house and you will see what
we have done to perpetuate our ma
tional art. The reception room of the
neighborhood house is decorated
with the patterns some peasant
woman carefully painted on her walls
in the little village Of Cataj in Bo-
hemia. The Bible informs us that
a tree cannot bear figs and thistles;
but the vines on either side of the
fireplace In this room recklessly
bring forth roses and tulips and
apples with joyful disregard of the
laws of botany, and the red and blue
robins perched in the branches find
no. fault with the arrangement. The
furniture Of the room is also from
old Czech designs. a heavy refectory
table and solid little wooden chairs
with firm set, slightly straddled legs
and one piece back rests.
up on East Seventy second street
is a little art shop just bursting with
gay bits Of Czecho-Slovak color.
Here several young men are busy
applying the tulip and rose and apple
forms to bowls and plates intended

for the adornment of American
homes. They follow no set designs
or color schemes. but, working on the
old principle of individual freedom
and initiative. they indulge in color
sprees to the glorification Of Czecho-
Slovakia. The shop is bit of peasant
Bohemia transplanted. On the black
woodwork sprays of blue and purple
roses grow. On the window castings
and door frames are little conven-
tional borders, and in each of the old
fashioned Victorian panels of the
door is a bunch of ecstatic p0sies.
The fireplace has been fitted as
cupboard with dozen shallow
drawers, and all the surrounding
architecture is dizzy with zig-zags OF
yellow and blue. green tulips and
scarlet leaves.
Needlework and Food.
More conservative, but still inter-
esting, is the work done by the Lenox
Hill Settlement This organization
fostered the revival of the art OF
needlework Why should skilled
Czech needlewomen waste their cum
ming working on pillow tops stamped
with daisies and violets, forty-nine
cents complete, including floss? The
settlement revives the quaint cross
stitch patterns, the combinations Of
embroidery and drawn work. the fas-
cinating designs in our masterpieces
of peasant needlework. The threads
are hand dyed for the most part. to
secure the charming colors of the
originals, also hand dyed by the
peasant artists. The work is done by
the older women. Probably young
America would never have the pa
tience But it must be rather beauti-
full, this return to the needlecraft Of
their youth. Can't you imagine the
worker, stitching with red and blue
on fine linen, dreaming over the days
of her girlhood, when she planted
the flax. spun the thread, wove the
linen, mixed the dyes and embroi-
dered just such lovely things for her
gayly painted dowry chest?"
Honza broke off, perhaps little
ashamed Of sentimental expression.
To relieve his embarrassment ]
asked, DO the recipes of the old land
flourish here also?" Honza bright
ened. "Ah! Soup and noodles and
rich, rich sauces-cakes with poppy
seed and cinnamon-dumpling with
caraway seeds-teleci rizky ma pa

in kind of rapturous chant, but /

I looked at the drop curtain of the

feet, the princess clasped in his arms
