Whose Series of Married Life
Have Won Big Popular
Success.

40 in the homely business of
- eating we got around to a
more or less excited discus
sion of the future. Carlotta wanted
a big wedding. knew well enough
that this was the last thing Tony
would have chosen, But / saw
his delight in sacrificing his con-
servation for her. And she was
SO proud of him that it didn't oc-
cur to her not to take all the world
into her confidence and invite it
to her wedding so it could see for
itself what a lucky girl she was.
Seeing himself through her
eyes Tony would never again be
able to visualize himself as IAN
old hulk AS for Carlotta, now
that she'd acknowledged her need
of him, she wasn't likely ever
again to worry about his duty to
Betty or any one else. She put
it tersely and after her own
fashion:
"All the lettering friends who
seemed to have first claim on
Tony's time and attention appear
to be making good in the bust
ness world. Well, they can have
the business world. want mine.
And that's sitting at the head of
Tony's table,"
isn't she g1orious?' asked
Tony, pleasantly commonplace
and normal in his expression of
love.
"She is" I agreed gravely.
And to save Carlotta the trou-
j. Bile of asking, IN add that you
also are-glorious." .s
MANY PLANS.
They both, laughed. good-natur-
eddy and Carlotta plunged ahead
to tell me of her plans. She want
ed to have a very big wedding
at the Sturges home and then
to move out of it bag and bag

Chorus

~ELDOM has Washington been
SO moved as by the young.
~ sters of the Bakule Children's
Chorus of Prague, who have been
singing their way straight into
our hearts. They sang at the
White House yesterday for the
President and Mrs. Harding and
serenaded former President Viii
son before his house in s street.
Then in the afternoon there was
q reception at the legation of
CzechosIovakia, with the Minister,
DR.. Bedrich Stepanek as host, at
which some $50 representatives of
Washington society had oppor-
tunity to hear a group of the little
Songsters in program which
reused the audience to fine pitch
of enthusiasm. And this after
noon the entire chorus, forty
strong, Is giving a concert at Polls
Theater under the auspices Of the
American Red Cross, under whose
wing they are touring the United
States.
The Balxule school, although but
q few years old. has already won
international fame by reason of
achieved in the reclamation of
crippled boys and girls and in de-
veloping in them talents which
would have otherwise been sup
pressed.
With the tragedy of the world
war the Austrian government
faced collapse and it's institutions
disintegrated Multitudes of help
less and abandoned children were
added to the number of those who
had previously claimed attention.
In the midst of the wreckage
Bakule. with a vision undaunted
by calamity and with a faith al
most superhuman, undertook
work of salvage that had no
further foundation than his own
will and determination. In the
chaos by which he was sur.
rounded he gathered a multitude
of these helpless and deserted
children into a school house
whose resources were next to
nothing. With no means and with
little of material, with no tools
except their fingers and their
pocket knives, he taught his
pupils to fashion baskets, boxes

and woven together into the rich

Indeed, DR.. Bakule, who directed

their daily food, while they lived
in such fashion as they might in
a barn which had been made into
a shelter.
At the wars end, when the
American Red Cross entered upon
its relief work in countries pre-
viouSly cut off from outside aid,
it found in the new republic of
Czecho-Slovakia field for its
special activities. Immediately the
work undertaken by Mr.. Bakule
came to the attention Of the
Junior American Red Cross. His
genius, courage, and faith pre-.
scented an opportunity for the
most practical kind of assistance
to constructive effort. Financial
aid was extended on a modest
scale, enabling him to enlarge
the scope Of his institution and
make its work. more efficient.
From the streets of Prague more
unfortunate children were gath
cred: residence was secured in
the suburbs of Prague, surround
ed by a large garden, and here
the Bakule system has had an
opportunity Of indicating itself.
A selected group OF forty of
these children have come to the
United States to show the people
of America what a country that
has suffered much can do for its
own reconstruction. and at the
same time to express their APP.
probation Of the sympathy and
aid extended to them by the chill
dren of the Junior American Red
Cross.
IN was group of these children,
= many of them handicapped by
physical infirnlity, who presented
the program at the legation yes
terday. Standing in a recess in
the drawing room, with the Red
Cross In flowers above them, they
made a pathetic picture with their
faces old beyond their years, and
wearing--the girls-plain little
black frocks. And, although some
of them were beautiful and their
expressions lighted up as they
talked or sang. there was a hunt
ing sadness Of expression in repose
and minor strain which plucked
