B-3 dding of Former Diplomat’s Daughter Holds Social Spotlight Today Beth Blaine e NE of the most dynamic personalities in the entire diplomatic corps is Mme. Nikola Perazic, the wife of the good-looking secretary of the Yugoe slav Legation. Irene Perazic is a Russian—wearing aiways the most gorgeous clothes—her furs, particularly, are the envy of most women. When she was left a young and charming widow with great wealth, she lived in most of the interesting places of the world. As Mrs. Hubbard, she had a beautiful villa at Cannes for the last three or four years, and her next-door neighbor was His Majesty King Edward VIII, then Prince of Wales. There are only two persons we have ever seen who are so vitally alive and full of electricity that they make one feel the sparks are almost visible, and, oddly enough, they are both Russians. One is ghe “live-wire” little leader of the Cossack Chorus, which has thrilled Washington audiences on its several visits, and the other is Mme. Perazic. ‘ Since she and the popular “Niky” Perazic were married and are rived at the Legation here in Washington, they have entertained con- stantly. One always meets interesting, cosmopolitan groups at their dinners and dances. The other evening they had a gay dinner in honor of Mr. Avis Azer, charge d’affaires of Egypt, who has just ar- rived. Mr. Azer has been the Egyptian consul general in New York for the past flve or siz years. Many are the stories of the sumptuous entertainments he gave during the days of prohibition— dinners with one and two hundred guests where vintage wines and champagne flowed like water. Mr. Azer is a bachelor and will de a great addition to the hostesses’ lists—an amusing single man in the diplomatic corps! On the same evening, we had the pleasure of meet- ing Mr. and Mrs. I. Said Zoulfikar, also of the Egyptian Legation, who have such sweetness, dignity and simplicity, it is a joy to know them, Mr. Zoulfikar’s father is the grand chamberlain to the King of Egypt and Mme. Zoulfikar looks as one imagines the lovely ladies in “Arabian Nights” should look—skin like a camellia, large dark eyes and an ez~ quusite little figure. Their great pride is a little son just mine months and ten days old! ‘When we meet the young couples in the diplomatic set, with their new babies and young children, who are ordered to all corners of the earth— knowing nothing about the food, the climate and all those things one must think about with children—we wonder if the American wife realizes that, perhaps, she is & “short-sport” when moving the family up to Narragansett or to California for the Summer seems to her such a tremendous task? Another interesting bachelor who has just arrived in Washington is Mr. Rastko Petrovic of the Yugoslav Legation. He has been dubbed the “Connecticut Yankee” as he looks exactly like one. He is tall, has a grand twinkle in the eye, and a delicious sense of humor. He's quite a well-known poet in his own country, we were told—though he would not admit it. Mr. and Mrs. Popovici of the Rumanian Legation were also im this interesting group the other evening. Mme. Popovici, an American, s lovely Jooking. A type of American with her reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes, who could belong to any nationality. She has coloring such as one sees among the beauties of Andalusia or in Budapest or Vienna—plus all the chic of the Parisian. When living abroad, it always amazes us to meet American women who, through their great cleverness and adaptability, can take on the character- | istics of their husbands’ countries to such an extent that it was almost im- possible to believe they were Americans. I don't think any other race can do it as well. Henry as & freshman in Hn.rvnrdlspent the late Summer with her College and Marion in Radcliffe Col- | mother. lege.
