ball at Washington will be larger than
ever before and that society all over the
country is more interested in this one than

between the meetings and besides accom-
plishing SO much good they are very
agreeable diversions as the gentlemen are
invited after O'Clock when dancing fills
nut the evening.
a very interesting feature in giving a
rhildren's party is to have them dance
the cotillion aad following this a dinner
to adults.

L O'Clock a suffet breakfast.
Two young swells of New York are to

decorated entirely in green, crystal and

decoration is obtained by combining
daffodils and mignonette.

were trailing vines of smilax into which
were blended roses and carnations. The
mantels were banked with flowers, potted
plants and smilax and the chandeliers
were also entwined with the graceful
