tary attache OF the Polish legation
in succession to Maj. Casimir Mach,
now attached TO the war office in

the Polish independence had been
achieved, took an intensive course in
the War College at Warsaw and had

both are fervent Polish patriots and
belong to families for centuries promi-
rent in the sections which in the par
tition of the old kingdom were given
over to Prussia. Col. HulewicZ is
from Posen and Nine. Hulewfcz S
home was in Pomerania. Their mar
riage occurred the first year OF the
great war and both suffered the
agonies universal in that dreadful
period Nine. Hulewicz, like the
newer order of woman in the diplo-

Hulewicz is intellectual. is fine mu-
sician and has all those attractive
qualities which tradition links with
her race For the present Col. and
Mrs HulewicZ have pleasant apart
ment on Sixteenth street and when
the door opens the visitor feels as
though ushered into little Poland, so
distinctive are the furnishings and
decorations.
Nine. Hulewicz has embroidered a
charming set of drapingS for the din
ing room, together with covers and
scarfs of the same design. 1t is the
rich, heavy, red embroidery SO Ia
miliar in eastern Europe, but in this
instance the effect is made by strips
threads and formed into figures and
scrolls. Several pieces of Polish peas
ant weaving add to the artistic atmos-
phere and everywhere there are pic
lures of the homeland and of scenes
which the HuleWiczes hold especially
dear.
Living in Warsaw for the past five
years, Nine. Hulewicz has become in
terested in it's national life and in the
activities in which women are promi-
nent.
Polish ladies have many agricultural
clubs, in which they discuss problems
which are very familiar in this coun-
try. Both Col. and Nine. Hulewicz
have enjoyed their brief glimpse of
Washington and are prepared to study
and absorb the various aspects of the
Capital City. Both are fond Of So
ciety and have all the necessary
graces and accomplishments to get
the best out of a residence here. Nine.
