1t is doubtful if there has ever been a
kandsomer social function held in ST.
Paul than the assembly given last week
at the Ryan hotel by the Daughters of
the American Revolution. The event
signalized the formal retiring from
office of the state regent of the D. A.
r. Mrs. r. NJ. Newport, who has held
the regency since the organization Of
the society in this state. The assem-
bly, held Tuesday evening in the par
lors Of the hotel, was carried out in
every detail in true colonial STYLE eX-
cept perhaps that the gentlemen came
in conventional up-to-date dress suits.
The costumes of the ladies were beau
tiful and the effect of the quaint old
gowns of brocade silk, or less elaborate
plaids against the rich hangings of
evergreen and great flags of red, white
and blue, was picturesque beyond de-
scriptiOn, making a scene such as had
never before been witnessed in st. Paul.
Fair faces were patched and powdered
and, soft hair, whether blonde or bru-
nette, was powdered to a snowy white
ness ard coiled high on each graceful |
in the style obtaining hundreds of years
ago, becomingly graced the necks ard |
shoulders of the beautiful women who |
thronged the rooms during the evening
and on many dainty feet was worn
slippers which had lightly trod
through the pretty minuet on the feet
of some fair ancestor of the eighteenth
century. Heavy old mahogany tables,
ri oil of in h.
supper rooms and on the white damas1
glistened old silver and glassware of
untold value. During the evening the
minuet was prettily done by dozen
quantity attired women whose grace
and dignity were exquisite evidence of
the breeding which entitled them to
membership among the D. A. r.
Among the most distinguished guests
of the evening were members of the
Washington family of this city, Mary
Washington Hill and Lawrence Wash
iEgton, who are direct descendants of
Gen. George Washington's father.
Daughters were present from all over
the state, the guests numbering fully
500.
The largest and most brilliant ball in
y

N c.. s., to take place Friday even
ing. at the Windsor hotel. The details
of the affair are being planned on a
large scale, and socially its success is
