4 the vivacious and beautiful "Kirmess,"
with its varied forms Of attraction. its
hundreds of youthful participants, gave
/ 10y to the hearts of large audiences.
! This year It IS to be the "Mistletoe
/ Ball" The very name sounds appro-
pirate TO a Virginia organization or such
a character The success or the enter
tainment is already assured. IL VIII DC
an exclusive affair; necessarily so, be-
cause of tho very limited NUMBER OF
invitations TO be issued. The ladies IN
charge have had long experience in the
most recherche entertainments given
here. and they are bending every energy
to make the ball OF 1897 equal II not
eclipse those Of the previous years.
Owing 10 the sickness OF Mrs. Joseph
BRYAN. the most efficient and untiring
president of the society, that lady has
, been prevented from taking any active
part in the arrangements. Mrs u. W.
Bagby is chairman Of the General Com
mittee. which has entire charge or the
MANAGEMENT Of the ball. The opening
dance will not be exclusive, but VIII
simply be a quadrile under the mistle-
toe. in which all dancers may join. The
decorations will be elaborate and beauu-
full.
THE SUBORDINATE COMMITTEES.
Mrs. Alfred T. Harris. who is chair
man of the Reception Committee, has
not yet named the ladies who will assist
her.
The Decoration Committee will consist
of Mrs. Stephen Putney, chairman; Mrs.
Decatur Axtell, Mrs. James Lyons, and
Mrs. It. A. Weller.
Mrs. Henry Taylor, Jr., is chairman or
the Ticket Committee. and her assistants
ng1.~ an fra a
T.. Boiling
The chairman OF the Invitation Com
mittee is Mrs. Z. V. Valentine. and her
assistants are: Mrs. Philip p ITALIA
ferro, Mrs r. L. Crump. and Miss Lucy
Chamberlayne.
\ Mrs H. p. Valentine chairman OF the
Music Committee. will be assisted by
Miss Louise Meade and Miss Hattie Ross.
The invitations have been beautifully
engraved. and will be an exquisite souye-
mir for those receiving them The deco
ratlons will. as those In the ease CT the
"Kirmess' and the other balls. be quite
a feature of the entertainment. The sup
per will be supplied by Zimmerman, but
a committee OF ladies Hill see TO the
comfort OF the guests az that time.
The "Mistletoe Bar will not be as
large, but in every other respect Il Will
vie with the other Association for the
Preservation OF Virginia Antiquity balls IN
exclusiveness and elegance All remember
when the beautiful Mrs. Willie Allen.
Mrs. Philip Haxall. Miss May Handy.
and Miss Irene Langhorne made these
functions the SWEETEST affairs OF gay
winter. and Il is the earnest purpose OF
the management TO make the "Mistletoe
BALI altogether as attractive and beau
tifui as any which have preceded Il.
