cries Of "ah! sol" from the
Ambassador.
"Of course, we had read
about 'Thaddeus of Warsaw
a long time ago. But never
before had we met Marshal
Pilsudski."
Murmurs Of "Ah-Indeed!"
from the Ambassador.
"And having met him." we
continued sympathetically, 1--WE
are wondering how Poland will
ever survive his loss. How sad
that such a hero had to die!"
"Pilsudski dead! Pilsudski
dead!" exclaimed Mr.. Patek.
Madam! Pilsudski not only
lives, but he lives as one of the
great men of the world"
Cries of "Ah, Mr.. AmbaSsa-
dor! How stupid of us! Really"
Followed by a quick retreat.
The Ambassador, undoubtedly
a forgiving gentleman, asked us
to the Embassy Thursday night.
After dinner we were wander
ing about with Edward Weintal.
He's the "Jules Henri" Of the
Polish Embassy. We saw a large
canvas on the wall of the ball
room.
How very charming!" we
said, in our best after-dinner-at-
the -Embassy-manner. What a
nice horse! And who is that
handsome person on his back?"
"You do not know?" de-
manded Mr.. Weintal, usually a
gay and sympathetic compan-
ion.
Alas. we did not know. Per-
haps it was General Pershing.
THAT" said Mr.. Weintal,
with a touch Of bitterness.
That, madame, is Marshal
Pilsudski!"
A pleasant little irony of
fate has placed the Polish En-
bassy in the house on Six

residence of Serge Bakhmetieff,
the Ambassador of the Gar
after the First Russian Revolu-

struggling little country, dom

all influence, bought from the

years he was in Japan and live

last guests to arrive for M.
Patek's dinner party. Tearing
. open the envelope and hastily
glancing at the names of our
dinner partner, we hurried up
the long marble stairs. Cock
tails were already being served
in the big drawing room. Be-
side the mantel where the
photograph of President Mos

points with $50 First and Third
Glass men of the Naval

Then there was little Nine.
Moscicka, whose husband, Sec.
retary of the Embassy, is the son
Of the Polish President. She is
a golden blond, with big dark
eyes. Her red gown emphasized
her romantic personality. The
great dark man whose reflection
in the mirror took up almost an
entire panel, we later discovered
to be an Americanized Pole from
Chicago Mr.. M. S. Szymczak,
now in Washington as Mem

Beside him was Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty, in black velvet and
pearls, and across the table, DR..
Stanley Hornbeck, Chief o. the
Far Eastern Division, and one of
the best informed men in the
State Department.
While the gentlemen retired
after dinner "to discuss the
tariff" they said, though from
time to time we could hear
hearty laughter rising from
their midst, the abandoned Ia
dies collected themselves in
pleasant groups. Nine. So
kolowska, very pretty and
amusing, declared that the
present trip Of her husband,
the Counselor of the Polish
Embassy, to Warsaw, is the
first vacation he has had in
years and years. We were just
about to persuade Madame Wad-

baby son, when the gentlemen
returned-still discussing the
