At Legation Reception
Young Yugoslav Monarch Cabtivates
Guests, Who Include All Groups
By Mnrearef Hart,
Society Editor.

King Peter Of Yugoslavia has
charmed young and old whom he
has met in the Capital. Last
night he met again many Of the
admirers he has made during
such a brief span of time. Those
who were meeting him for the
first time were impressed by his
dignity and by his boyish shyness
as he extended his hand in
friendly greeting.
His Majesty held court in his
country's Legation on r street
and guests represented all circles
of society. Standing with the
youthful monarch as he received
were the Minister of Foreign Al
fairs. DR.. Momcilo Nincic, and
the Minister of the Court, Mr..
Radoie Knezevic. Not far away
was Yugoslavia S Minister to this
country, Mr.. Constantin Fotitch,
who assisted in presenting the
guests to his King.
The Legation was artistically
and yet simply decorated. In the
small drawing room where the
sovereign stood, blue and yellow
blossoms almost matched the
furnishings and draperies. Pink
gladioluses were displayed in the
larger drawing room, where a life

size painting of the King is hung.
The painting was the topic of
much conversation during the
evening. On the buffet. where
guests partook of delicious re-
freshments, was the centerpiece
used on the Kings table at dinner.
Nine. Fotitch wore a becoming
gown of white soft silk made
quite simply with box pleats in
the skirt and the neckline square.
The belt of the gown was of the
material and was held by buckle
studded with gold beads.
The Vice President and Mrs.
Henry A. Wallace were guests of
the King at dinner before the
reception. A great cluster of
white gladioluses caught with red
and blue ribbon emphasized the
national colors of Yugoslavia in
the centerpiece on the beautifully
appointed table.

Nine. Fotitch.
The wish expressed by so many
in Washington that the young
King be permitted to meet more
persons nearer his own age was
realized at the reception. In
cluded on the guest list were a
number of attractive members OF
the Younger set.
Senorita Margaret Freyre,
daughter of the dean of the diplo-
matte corps, the Ambassador OF
Peru, Senor Don Manuel de

S,eena had insisted. What will she

were bright with anger, her mouth
trembled. You let me put that an

anything more: she, as we'll as
Tommy, was through. She would
wait, too. although there was little
hope in her heart, since she felt
as we'll as Tommy and Tibby-that
everything was settled.
1t might have been settled-had
not the following Sunday been De.

On that Sunday. the Japanese

written in the annals of history for
all time to ONE.
America had been attacked.

brought hope to all those little as
saulted countries with their en-
shaved peoples. uniting all people,
everywhere, whose hearts believed
in freedom and democracy, and
whose minds believed in God.
Marg was the one who CHANGED
to tune in, that Sunday mid-after-
noon, to hear the first broadcast
of that fearful, unjustifed and cow
ardly attack. This news struck
closest to her heart, since Captain
Mercer was there at Pearl Harbor.
Hers was the most personal and
immediate reaction.
To think that she had sent John
to this, perhaps his death! Because
of her, he was in the middle of that
war he had foreseen in its very be-
ginning. She knew it would he

whether he was safe or not She
knew, too, that if it had been pos

that was what he would have
wished. the way he would have
wanted 1t.

had said. His spirit had, she knew.

Johns way to meet and confirm
his faith.
When libby, and a little later,
Steena, came in, they found Marg
pale, but composed. libby knew,
though, that she had heard the ter

for the safety, the life of her cap

She had thought, like libby, that
she could keep out of and away

could set her own pattern, choose
her fate. steer the purse she
wished by whatever star she

She had not given her any pity or
understanding, but she had not, as
she supposed Marg believed, gone

rumors that had caused Mrs. Mer.

still. the captain to resign and sail
for Hawaii.
That had been the work Of Miss
Picklepuss, as the girls called the
chief hostess. 1t was not very pref
ty work, not any prettier than the
petty things that Steena herself
had been up to. She had felt them
justified, that all was fair in love
and war.
No wonder Wayne did not love
her; being so experienced, he prob
ably had seen through her. He
probably had realized she had
hoped to marry him for his money!

the hope had been wiped out, re-
