BELGRADE. November 25-Mary
Landon Baker is still in Belgrade.
where she has taken the best apart
ment that the Palace Hotel affords.
Mary has a violent dislike for jazz
music. although her apartment is a
few floors above two bars and two
cabarets and a large dancing restau-
rant. where syncopated orchestras
produce jazz all night.
The noise reaches it's loudest stage
in the dancing restaurant during the
Sunday afternoon teas. With stand
ing room only, the small space in
the center Is too crowded with Bel
graders to permit much dancing.
Mary seems to prefer to steal away
to the small cafes where gypsy
orchestras play soulful music. Often
she goes alone. Once the gypsles,
recognizing her. played lively Ameri-
can jazz. and Mary is said to have
exclaimed: Don't play that, l came
over here TO get away from jazz"
Sometimes Mary comes with "her
boy" as the Belgraders say of
BOjidar Pouritch. Often the two
take long automobile rides, settled
deep in thsir car and not seeming to
care who notices them. Pouritch is
a handsome Serb and well to do. sur
viving the two brothers. He seems
we'll liked in Belgrade. Pouritch. it
is said, is slated in line with the reg
ular service to become a consll. Then

But he isn't a count. Indeed, he has
no title. for there are no titles in
