force asst in Helen EsSary
their costumes and attitude of
mind the typical styles and
manners of Mr.. Hibbard's new
post.
Mary Du Bose wore late
Eiberian model of mosquito
netting, pailleted in Christmas
tree tinsel with fly swatter
motifs. Perfume by Citronella.
Her husband, Jappy Du Bose,
was in khaki shorts, a sweat
shirt, and a pith helmet.
The George Pulvers came as
the Martin Johnsons, with tall,
handsome Mrs. McKeldin Tucker
disguised as a native captive.
Phyllis Thompson was in white
overalls and a yellow skirt. Mrs.
George Eustis was Russian
CosSack. Harold Hinton, on his
. tropical costume, wore a large
badge saying, "Dr. Livingston,
I presume" Mrs. James F.
Curtis adorned her dinner gown
with the label "Mommie."
King Alexander of Jugo-
slavia was not only a Spartan
and an intellectual, he was a
great diplomat. SO my friend,
the counselor, tells me.
Dissatisfaction in Jugoslavia
has been caused largely by
Croatians. Therefore King Alex
ander, in his will, appointed
to the regency which will gov
ern Jugoslavia until the young
King comes of age, a Croatlan
from Croatia and Croatian
from Dalmatia. Prince Paul,
cousin of the late King Alex
ander, will be the third mem
ber of the regency, but the
presence o. two Croatians in
the regency undoubtedly will
soothe many restless subjects.
Nine. Leune, French lecturer
and traveller, who is staying at
the Mayflower, visited King
Alexander and Queen Marie at
the Palace at Belgrade. She
found the royal family ex-
tremely happy with each other
and anxious for the happiness
Of their people.
King Alexander was a very
strong man, "but gentle and
serious. And very sincere.
Nine. Leune met him first
during the World War when
he came to the hospital OF
Salonika where she was nurs-
ing. Alexander was then the
Crown Prince. The soldiers
adored him. He was brave and
honest.
Queen Marie, Nine. Leune
thinks, is not like ner mother,
Queen Marie of Rumanla. she
is more maternal"
Madame Leune was the guest
at a great ball at the palace
at Belgrade. The palace is a
long, narrow building, extend
ing in a semi-circle around a
court yard. Though not as
= magnificent as French or
English palaces, it is dignified
and elegant. The Jugoslavs'
according to Madame Leune,
are a simple but extremely in
telligent people. They have
primitive virtues and always
speak the truth. Jugoslavia
has produced much beautiful
poetry.
When the Ninth Earl of Air
lie (and Lord Ogilvy) went to
meet the President OF the
United States, he expected the
approach to so important a
personality to be down a long
corridor, decorated with flunkies.
But the Earl of Airlie, whose
title reaches back to the year
Columbus discovered America,
entered the White House casu-
ally with Uric Bell, who was
entertaining the Scotchman in
Washington. Passed through
the entrance hall, now occu-
pied largely by correspondents
and official callers. Paused a
moment in Steve Early's office.
! The door to an adjoining
room was open. Through the
door Lord Airlie saw at a desk
the man whose plan of govern
anent is thrilling the world.
In a second or so the Scotch
man was escorted through the
door and was shaking hands
with the President of the United
States.
1t was an amazing expert
ence for a man accustomed to
the pomp and circumstance of
royalty.
Lord Airlie is himself a friend
", unaffected person. He is a
big, handsome fellow with dark
hair, a ruddy complexion, and
O cheerful manner. He has a
sense of humor about practi-
cally every subject but govern
ment. He admires President
Roosevelt tremendously.
Lord Airlie is returning to
Europe next week and is cer-
tain to report his American
"trip enthusiastically to his
friend, Mr.. Robert Bingham,
the American Ambassador at
London.
