VIENNA, Aug 28. —Local court cir- ■ des have been startled by the news that Countess • DeKoretich. the young widow of Count Charles Felix De- Koretich, of Austria, is a nurse In the Jewish Home for the Aged, conducted by the Daughters of Jacob, at No. 301 East Broadway. New York Countess DeKoretich became known throughout Europe as a toe dancer when only sev enteen years old At the height of her . career she became the wife ,of Count DeKoietich, a lieutenant in the King's Dragoons. Three years ago her hus band died. She returned to the stage. It was while she was giving an ex hibition of barefoot toe dancing in the Ring Garden of Vienna, that she at tracted the attention of Shubert. A few days before an American tour was to begin tiie countess sprained her ankle in a street car accident. As the weeks passed it became evident that she would probably never be able to resume her career as a dancer. She bore up under this blow and pluckily decided to study medicine. Her father was Dr. Julius Ifkovitch, a sur geon of Vienna. Dr. David Robbins, her physician, advised the countess to first become a trained nurse. Handicapped by her slight knowledge of English, she de termined to study that language as a preliminary to taking up medicine. U. S. SLANG LANGUAGE OF FUTURE, SAYS EXPERT LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28.—Dr. C.

Governor Brown Welcomes Visitors to His Home Town. MARIETTA, GA., Aug. 28.—Graj is the dominant note in Marietta today. The gray beards of bent, slow-moving veterans, brushing uniforms of the col or of the Confederacy. But the dull motif of the throng is broken by the gay red and white of battle flags, by the rainbow of color in the summer dress of Southern girls, sponsors and maids to the reunion. Bands are play ing at every corner of the square; mo tors filled with infirm men and laughing girls are dashing about the town. The reunion of Georgia veterans is under way. 1,000 Vets Attend. More strangers gathered today in Ma rietta than have been here since the days when General Joe Johnston.'s army fought with the invading men of the North. The fourteenth annual reunion of Georgia division of Confederate vet erons has brought here more than a thousand gray-haired men who fought in the army of the South, according to the number of badges given out by Miss Regina Rambo, who first invited the veterans a year ago at Rome to make Marietta their next place of re union. Banners of the Confederacy are spread over the buildings and hang from the doorways of homes in Mariet ta. Draped with them, but not in pre dominance, are the stars and stripes, mingling In peace with the stars and bars. Business in the little city has been practically suspended in order that all may make their visitors feel at home. Almost as many veterans gathered in the public square, where stands the monument to the late Senator A. S. Clay, as were crowded in the court house for the formal exercises. There was an overflow meeting on the square. With the veterans have come hundreds of women and girls, and numbers of the Sons of Veterans organization. Women Take Big Part. No Confederate reunion would be complete without the women of the South. This was the keynote of the day. and when this was spoken by Judge John Maddox, of Rome, in intro, during one of the women who welcomed the veterans, there was applause from hundreds of husky throats. Mayor J. J. Black formally gave Marietta to the veterans in a speech, in which he said: "I came to turn the keys of Marietta over to you, but I can't do it; they are no keys to give you "They are all gone, and the doors of Marietta's homes are wide open. Make yourselves at home, and try to under stand the honor we citizens feel in hav ing you with us.” Brown Lauds Vets. Governor Joseph M. Brown was then introduced as the son of Georgia's wai governor, Joseph E. Brown. His ap pearance was the signal for the thrilling "rebel yell.” Governor Brown paid a fitting trib ute to the men who fought to maintain what lie said is the greatest part of the constitution of Georgia—the guar antee that person and property shall be completely and impartially protected. "The principles for which you fought then,” he declared, "are recognized to day from Maine to California, and this Union which we all love is greater and grander for your struggles to maintain this principle." Mrs. S. D. Rambo, president of the Marietta Daughters of the Confederacy, welcomed the veterans on behalf of th' Marietta women. Mrs. Robert Nesbit, who 51 years ago stood on the court house steps at Madi son. Ga.. and presented the flag to the first Georgia regiment of Confederate soldiers that went to the front, spoke next in welcome to the soldiers, their sons and daughters. Captain \\. H. (Tip) Harrison re sponded to th" welcome on behalf of the visiting veterans. Father ' Ryan s requiem of the lo t cause, the "Con quered Banner," was sung by Mrs. Leila Grist Henderson. Hardly an old sol dier was present but forgot bis wild en thusiasm of a moment before, w hen the band was playing "Dixie,” and bowed his head in honor of the old flag. A tattered banner of the Forty-seconq Georgia hung from the platform during the song. At noon tile veterans were taken to dinner in the Andelson building. All who registered were < arri- d from th" hall to the eating place. Th', event of the afternoon was the trip to Kennesaw mountain, where many of them fought under Johnston. Social features will predominate to night. and a reception will be given tills afternoon in honor of x the visiting daughters at the home of Mrs. Rambo. Never was Marietta visited by such a throng. The town is accustomed to a , gathering once a year of veterans of ; the G. A. R., who come to pay their tribute to the Union dead who lie in the national cemetery which crowns the hill; but veterans of the Grand Army ; are few; the men of the Gray are hen i by thousands. The county seat of Cobb Is sorely taxed to care for them. Incoming Trams Loaded. They began arriving late yesterday afternoon, and today's trains brought them by the hundreds. Every trolley : ear from Atlanta was packed with vet- 1 erans- and their friends. The road from • the city was one cloud of dust from the procession of automobiles. Marietta is host to all the state today. A great barbecue is billed to follow th" opening celebration, with a lunch eon for the women at the home of Mrs John M. Graham, given by the Fielding Lewis chapter, D. A. R.. and served by tiie girls of the Martha Berry tavern. This afternoon a business meeting of the Georgia division, U. C.
