AMERICAN WOMAN NURSE IN BALKANS
NEW YORK, June 21..Mme Slavko Grouitch, the brilliant American wife of the permanent Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has been on a three month's visit to New York in the interest of the Genske Dom, a house for women students in Belgrade. In the pass nine years it has sheltered a thousand girls who have come to the capital to follow various courses of study, and now plans are afoot for the building of an annex in which shall be established a school of nursing.
It is this school of nursing that Mme. Grouitch is chiefly interested in, her object being the raising of a benevolent loan of $159,000.
Since she came to New York, early in March, Mme. has been living at Straitford House, East Thirty-Second Street, and has been made much of socially. She was a guest of honor at a luncheon at the Astor, given by Mrs. Hartley Jenkins and Professor Samuel T. Dutton of the Teachers College, who was at the head of Andrew Carnegie's Peace Commission to the Balkin States. The Luncheon was followed by a tea at which Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish was hostess; in the evening Mrs Artuur Curtiss James gave a theater party for Mme. Groulitch.
AT THE SERVIAN COURT
Mme. Grouitch was Mabel Gordon Dunlop, born in Clarksburg, W. Va. She married in 1902 in Athens. During the seven years that her husband was Charge d'Affaires of the Servian Legation in London, she was one of the most conspicuous of the women of the diplomatic colony.
When the Balkans rose against Turkey, she went to the front as a nurse, and in 1912 she paid the united States her second visit since her marriage to raise funds for thr Kola Sestara (Circle of Sisters) as the Servian Red Cross is known.
In her work as a nurse. Mme. Grouitch followed the example of Princess Helen, daughter of King Peter of Servia and wife of Ivan, eldest son of the Grand Duke Constantinovitch. From childhood Princess Helen had been deeply interested in hospital work and in the work of the Red Cross with which she became familiar during her father's exile in Geneva.
When war came Princess Helen was the first of the royal ladies of the Balkan States to take an active part in caring for the sick and wounded. Servia's Army soon grew to a strength of 200,000 and the demands of the hospital service grew in proportion. The princess gave more and more of her time to field work and under her treatment a great number of women of station went to the front.
One of the results of Mme. Grouitch's present visit has been the admission to American training schools for nurses of three Servian girls who saw service either under direction of that of Princess Helen.
