Talks iH'tweeu the London representatives of a Kuroi>ean booking syndicate and the sing er’s managers had almost reaeli- ed the paper signing staie when the deviiluation news prompted a culling off of the whole idea. Plans had almo.st been con summated whereby Mis.s Wash ington would have begun a series of personal appearances in London just after the first of the year. ^Following this there would havo been a number of bookings ui other countries that would have kept the popular* chirper abroad for about four! and a half months. Despite the fact the buxom entertainer was to have received an attractive figure, the down ward revision of the dollar value of the pound, changexl the en. tiiip picture so that instead of a large excess, there would have been little profit to show after the deductiou of expenses. The sin^'er, however, is anxi ous to work before a European audience and will make the trip as soon as suitable financial arrangements can be made.
