NEW YORK, February CT would take
volumes TO tell all about the much Wanted
fancy dress ball which Mr.. and Mrs. Brad
ley-Martin will give at the Hotel Waldorf
next Wednesday night, and in limited
newspaper space. it is only possible TO de-
scribe some of the most salient features Of
an affair which will rank pre-eminent
among American social functions for years
10 come. Ss,rr
One thousand invitationsShave been is
sued. and there will be mighty few who
will fail TO accept them. notwithstanding
the highly moral reasons advanced by the
Rev. DR.. Rainsford for ignoring the ball.
Two whole floors and several additional
suites of apartments have been engaged at
the Waldorf the rental Of thes ealone
costing 5000.
The guests will all appear in costumes OF
three centuries. the sixteenth, seventeenth
and eighteenth. the prescribed periods set
nv the hostess. OF course a guest who
makes a historical blunder and appears
in a costume Of a time other than those
mentioned will not be elected
These centuries represent the most ex-
travagant and picturesque periods. in the
matter Of dress. of the European courts.
1t is doubtful if any patriotic guests will
have the moral courage to appear In the
stern and simple habiliments Of the Puri-
tans. the rough and ready clothes of the
seventeenth century New York Hollanders
or the grim uniforms of the Revolutionary
soldiers.
The King OF England will be there in
Vulnerable, but II is no; likely that there
will be a George Washington. Nell
Gwynne. Mesdames Pompadour and du
Barry will be aped and 'paraded. but the
modest Philadelphia widow Betsy Ross.
who wove the first American flag, will be
forgotten. OF course. the poor clothes Of
Betsy Ross do not compare with the mag
nificent gowns of a Pompadour no more
than the rough dress of the Continental
soldier compares with the glittering APP
parel of a courtier of Charles H.. and that
settles the matter in the mind Of Vanity
