VIENNA. Aug 28. Local court cir
cles 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 7 . conducted
by the Daughters of Jacob, al 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
DeKoretich, 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 doming in the
Ring Garden of Vienna, that she at
tracted the attention of Shubert. A
few days before an American tour was
to begin the countess sprained lie'
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. Hei
father was Dr. Julius Ifkoviteb, a sui
geon of Vienna.
Dr David Robbins, iter physiciats,
advised the countess to first become a
traimd nurse. Handicapped by liar
slight knowledge of English, she de
termined to study that language as a
preliminary to taking up medicine.
