was another flourish Of trumpets which
told that the quadrille d'honneur, ar
ranged by Mrs. William Aston. was
about to open.
The forming for the first figure, 1.-THE
salute,'' was like the turning of pages
of history. The characters gathered
from all sections of the room. These
were Mrs. Bradley Martin, wearing a
Marie Stuart costume, copied from an
old plate of that queens time; Mrs
John Jacob Astor,. in a Louis XVI
court costume; Mr.. ]. Townsend Mar
tin, as a cavalier of the court of Louis
XIII, and Mrs. Henry Lohr, in Louis
XIV court costume. From another sec
tion Of the room came Mrs. Orme VIII
son, looking picturesque in a Louis
XVI court dress OF white silver brocade
which followed the elaborate designs
of the period, and Mrs. Whitney War
brocade and silk, after the style of the
time of Louis XIV. Mr.. Lispenard
Stewart closely followed his partner,
Mr.. Whitney Warren, dressed as a
cavalier of the court of Louis XIII.
The other sixteen who took their places
in the quadrille were: Mrs. Lee Tay-
lor and Mr.. Craig Wadsworth; Miss
Gerry and Mr.. Confer Hitchcock, Miss
Lena Morton and Mr.. B. B. Van Allen,
Miss Madeline Cutting and Mr.. Stuy-
AeSaut Fish.
AS these partners waited for the open
ening bars OF the music the scene was
the most beautiful of the night. Far
beyond these characters of action about
them on either side were the rich laces,
the glittering gems and all that went
to make up the historically represented
personages OF the ball, the whole back {:
grounded by the natural flowers, the
lights and the ferns.
The Ell Paso Social club gave a
dance last Wednesday night in the
