Pictures Seal
Royal Match
OH, DOCTOR!
By HELEN ESSARY

CereSt1ng home, are three color
prints with a romantic history.
About hundred years ago,
charming Madame Pelenyi told
me, the Archduke Joseph OF
Hungary fell in love with the
daughter of Car Nicholas of
Russia. The archduke said to
the Car:
II should like to marry your
beautiful daughter. assure
your royal highneSS am her de-
voted slave"
Said the Car Nicholas:
Devotion is very fine. But
! can't have my child going to
unciviliZed faraway places"
The archduke was very polite.
He didn't say that possibly Rus
STA might seem remote to a Hun
garian. He promised to bring
the father of his loved one pic
lures of his estate in Budapest.
And so he galloped home Il
suppose he gallopedD. Had a
court artist do three views Of
his gorgeous palace outside OF
the capital. Hurried back to
Russia and said to the Gear:
Here, Sire, is where want
to take your beautiful daughter
to live"
Or words to that effect.
The Car was enchanted. He
said he had no idea Budapest
was so magnificent. And the
wedding bells rang the next
day.
The pictures which sealed
the royal match are on the
drawing room walls of the Hun
garian Legation at Eighteenth
and R Streets Northwest. The
Legation is a great red brick
house with a beautiful sense OF
repose in it's spacious rooms.
Madame Pelenyi has furnished
it with special care.
A pediatrician is not without
honor save in his own family
meaning, in this case, that a
doctor who tells other people
how to raise their children,
sometimes is surprised by his
own young.
For instance, Mrs. Hugh Davis,
wife of the child specialist, re-
turned from luncheon the other
day to find that her 4-year-old
twins had covered their faces
with mercurochrome.
Mercurochrome has It's ad-
vantages as an antiseptic. But
it dyes whatever it touches
scarlet. This was what the
twins wanted. They were play
ing Indian.
The brunette twin was pictur-
esque in red paint-if he were
somebody else's child. The red
haired son looked like a bad
dream.
There was nothing for Mrs.
Davis to do but to put her child
rem in seclusion. There they
now are. Fading out!
Queries-Principally Peevish:
Why-immediately after the
storage man has departed with
warm rugs and draperies and
the gas man has turned off the
furnace for the season-does the
temperature drop 20 degrees?
Why-immediately after the
window washer has Shined the
last pane-does a sudden guSty
shower fall upon the just and
the unjust-and the clean glass?
Why-when you've nothing
to do-doeS no one ever ring
YOU up? And why when you're
so busy with work and engage
ments that you're dizzy, does
the telephone tingle with the
voice of old schoolmates:
Darling, you'll never guess
who this isl"
Why-must fashion experts
make women wear print dresses
that extinguish the most blaz-
ing personality?
Why-muSt men dress like
walters when they are acting
like gentlemen?
While Mrs. Robert S. White
head, chairman of the George
town garden committee, was
wrestling with the weather
which threatened to drown her
annual garden tours of last
week, she got a special delivery
letter addressed to herself:
"Care of Georgetown Gar
dens; Bliss Garden; George
town; Washington; District of
Columbia; Open Gardens-Dear
Madame, / am sorry cannot
come
Mrs. Charles w. Fairfax is
discovered sewing bits of green
Bingham on apron pockets for
Raffia dolls for Mt. Vernon
Seminary'S National Symphony
concert benefit. That new
beauty in the cigarette posters
and in the hats in the smart
magazines is Anita Coonihan,
now in New York, making her
fortune as a model. The rare
iris in the Kensington garden
of DR.. and Mrs. Charles Mon
roe bring visitors from miles
away. Count HaugWitz-Revent-
low, present husband of Bar
bara Hutton, is not regarded in
the Kingdom of Denmark as a
great nobleman.
