NEAR THE CITY OF NEWPORT

MRS. ADAMS'S BALL
A Great Event That Occurred January
g. 1924

"The Adams building opposite the Eb-
bitt house has the most interesting his
tory" remarked local historian to the
Washington Star, "for in that building
the most famous social events in the
early history of Washington took place.
Though the building has been modern
ized, there has been no change in the
height of ceilings, and 1t can be easily
seen what a magnificent house it must
have been in it's day for the social and
political gatherings which were so fire.
Quently held there. The Adams build
ing was for many years the residence of
John Quincy Adams when he was secre-
tary of state in the Monroe cabinet.
What is known as Mrs. Adams's BALI"
took place in that building on the eve
ming of January s, 1924. 1t was in COM
memoration Of the victory of General
Jackson at New Orleans, and I doubt ie
there ever was a social function held in
this city, or indeed this country, which
created more of a social and political
sensation. 1t was the talk Of the entire
country, and 1t was thought that it
paved the way to the nomination of Mr..
Adams to the presidency. There was
no illumination possible in that day, ex-
cept from the whale oil lamp and tallow.

lacking on the inside was made up by
series of bonfires outside, which extend

it rather clung to the lines of the figure.
1t had short yoke of embroidered
black tulle. with a rounded point at the
front From the bottom of the yoke the
tulle fell in a deep f1ounce to the bottom
of the skirt, where it was embroidered
and spangled in heavy pattern.
The most original feature of this gown
was sort of satin effect given with
two breadths of black satin that sloped
gradually at the waist line, where they
We're Joined to the ceinture with round
strass buckle. The high loops that it
formed above the buckle were faced
with white satin.
OPERA GOWN FOR GIRLS
A gown worn by young girl at the
opera was made of white ottoman silk
The skirt fitted close over the hips, with
the fullness at the back laid in two
narrow box plaits. Around the bottom
of the skirt there was a frill of English
applique lace that formed point at the
front. At the top of the frill there was
a heading of sable.
The corsage was a blouse of the Otto
man, trimmed with narrow plated
strips of turquoise velvet, forming
plaids. In the center of each plaid there
was a turquoise ornament attached to
the velvet with gold thread. The cor
sage opened over vest of cream NOUS
seline de sole, laid in narrow bias folds.
1t was cut square-necked, and was

known-even more so than in France.
And the father is most particular that
the Intended husband must have an am
pie provision to support wife and fam
lily. For the girl a dowry is not SO i'm
portant as in France, but a certain
amount of linen and household furniture
is required. The whole training and
education of a Greek girl is simply a
preparation to render her brilliant in
the society of the great world. Her toi-
let Is a subject Of constant anxiety.
Although most Greek girls are natur-
ally very pretty, they begin to paint and
powder from very early age-cheeks
bright red, eyebrows and lashes deepest
black and veins delicate blue. The re-
suit is that she is a withered old woman
at 40, and nowhere are uglier women to
be found than beneath the blue skies of
lovely Greece.
Next in Importance to beauty come
languages. Every Greek family who
can afford 1t keeps French nurse or
maid, and French is universally spoken
in society. Painting and music are
quite unnecessary, but girls are care
fully trained in dancing and drilled to
enter a room and sit down with ele-
gance. Lastly, household duties are
taught-how to make rose jam, Turkish
coffee and various delicate sweetmeats.
The herald., 1898-01-23

finished with strip of sable that con-
tinued down both sides of the vest. The
ceinture Of turquoise velvet was draped.
The short pu1fed sleeves were of the o.
toman, tEimmed with the bands of vel
vet and turquoise ornaments.
A number of the women wearing de-
collete gowns carried little collets Of
fluffy materials that they slipped on in
case of draughts.
One that was less frivolous was made
of accordeon-plaited coral velvet, over Il
lining of white satin. Numerous strips
dicis collar and fell between the folds of
the velvet to the bottom of the collet.
At the front of the collet the velvet
merged into two long stole ends that
were trimmed with bands of fur. The
tall Medicis collar was of sable. with a
facing of white satin. Striking, round
coral clasps fastened the collet.
Some of the new opera glasses are
covered with coral or turquoise leather
and are mounted in gold or mother Of
pearl. A pair that was covered with
rd-green leather and mounted in
gold was smart.
OF course they try to copy toilets in
opera glass coverings, and you see leath-
er in all colors, mounted in ali metals.
These glasses cost fabulously, but many
opera-goers own dozen of them.
