At II o'clock the orchestra struck up the Star.
Spangled Banner, and the dance began. 1t was
not Il rapid dance. 1t was sedate in the ex-
treme: Senator Aldrich smiled on his partner.
but otherwise there was as much solemnity
about the affair as if it had been the most seri
Gus business on earth.
| The President busted himself looking at the
brilliant scene in the boxes, and paid but little
| attention to the dancers As the Presidential
party made the circuit oi the ballroom Mrs
Harrison attracted much attention. She looked
| well and happy. Her dress was heavy gro;
| grain, cut with princess train. The waist was
| trimmed with pearl and silver, the corsaee be
| ing filled with gauze, held in place with ostrich
feathers, as was also the skitt front. The EN-
| broidery of the skirt was Grecian KEY pattern
worked in silver and pearls meeting the panel.
of silver brocade. Beautiful feathers and
shower of silver ornaments fell from the skirt.
The most notable feature in the Quadrille wa!
| Mrs. Levi P. Morton. Her costume was o.
heavy white brocaded silk, the design beine
| very ancient. Clusters of pinks and wilC
strawberries were halfhdden behind festoon:
| of lilac fringed with yellow interviewer in the
material The empire cut fronts were OF lilat
| silk, falling over Princess front of white crepe
| de lisse The corsage was of brocade trimmed
| with lilac, broad sash ends OF silk lilac being
| fastened in the back.
| Next to Mrs. Morton no one attracted more
attention than Mrs. William Astor, and it wa
probably the value and brilliancy of her dia
monds that formed the basis of attraction.
Among the throng present were Mr.. and Mrs
| j. Kennedy Smythe, Mrs. Smythe being grand
| daughter of Francis Lewis, one of the signers o
| the Declaration of Independence, General LloyC
! King, Colonel Thomas P. Ochiltree and Con
| gresham o Neil of fPennsylvania.
The crowd on the floor was so great at tn,
| conclusion of the opening quadIille that it wa
| at once seen that it would be useless to try U
| get on with the dancing, so the orchestra
| played promenade music and the people moyet
| about as best they could.
AT midnight the Presidential party led th
| way to the supper rooms and en- onslaught theI
| began.
/, The exodus made little room on the foo
| and dancing then began. At first there wa
loom for but few couples, but The numbe
| gradually increased, and by the time the PTesi
| dent had left the supper table, dancing was il
full swing, and he slipped away quietly to get
part OF a nights rest, while the dancers, if the,
go othrough the whole order of dancing, will b.
tripping 1t long after daylight.
