not held an annual ball for two years

nOuncement that it is to grace the
social calendar again this season, and
is to be given for cause that has al
ready stirred the enthusiasm OF WASH
ington, the building of literary me-
mortal to American women of genius.

Mrs. Rose Gouverneur Hoes, a men,
ber of the District branch of the league,

the Austrian army. He had been
student in Belgrade and Paris. and hav-
ing graduated at the university of the
latter city, he had remained to take
his LII. D. when his peaceful student
life was rudely interrupted by the call
to arms. 1t was on the lovely island
of Corfu, that the charge d'affaires
began his diplomatic career in the
Serbian foreign Office. It will be re-
membered that the Serbian govern
ment, driven out of its own land by
the early victories of the Tcutonic
forces, found refuge on this charming
isle of the Aegean Sea, we'll known to
all travellers as the seat of one of the
most beautiful palaces of the world,
that of the former Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Here the hard-pressed King Alexander
and his faithful ministers set up a

Pouritch had served on q mission to
Russia, during the interim after the
fall of the Kerensky government and
his knowledge of many tongues and
of the diplomacy of the neighboring
countries, started him at once ON a
successful diplomatic career
In the early Winter while serving
the ministry of state in Belgrade, M.
Pouritch was married to Mile. Dara
Pachitch, daughter of one of the most
beloved and most capable men in
varying periods has been prime minister
of the country for nearly 80 years. The
wedding in the Greek Orthodox Ca

monial, was attended by King Alex
ander and Queen Marie-daughter of
Marie of Rumania and strongly re-
Sembling that famous beauty-and the
entire court and diplomatic and official
world of Belgrade. After remaining for
a brief time in their home in the Ser.
bian capital, M. Pouritch took his bride
to Rome. where they remained until
Spring when he was transferred to
Washington. The official and social
world had dispersed before this notable
young couple took up their residence
at 1920 Sixteenth street. in the hand
some former home of Senator Bailey of
Texas. The Serbian government has
bought this property and has equipped
the house superbly with fine rugs and
the native furniture of the Kingdom
and many splendid tapestries sent from
Belgrade NJ. and Nine. Pouritch. since
coming to the legation, have added
many beautiful objects of their own
including royal autographed photos and

nv LEONARD HALL

New York, May 11.-One of the
perpetual joys Of the theater is the
fact that we never know just when
or where the lightning of satisfac-
ton is going to strike.
With the coming of May the New
York show shops are staggering
through the late-season doldrums.
The big league producers, their work
over for the year, have sailed away
to the old world in search of plays
and players, and Times Squares
playhouses are turned over to ambi-
tious young managers with a maL--
script. a shoe string and prayer.
With all due respect for the am
bition and zeal Of these independent
producers, when they finish they
customarily have nothing left but
the prayer. They seem to have
i;m;tless faith in faint, incoherent,
limping plays that die almost as
soon as born.
Naturally enough, these dramatic
cripples that come so pitifully and
honefully along at the fag end of
the theatrical year are depressing.
First nighters who have borne nob!y
with a long and busy season begin
to show distinct signs Of mental and
spiritual collapse. Their eyes take
on an unhealthy glitter, and their
reading is confined almost entirely
to time tables and steamer lists. 1t
is the hour for escape.
Then, in the midst of all this de-
pression, comes a touch of beauty
and the ring of truth, and often in
the strangest places!
We encountered it after march
ing glumly into the heart OF Green
wich Village and to the tiny Cherry
Lane theatre, fully expecting the
