view their conquests. Tomorrow. however.
the fun will begin again. with promise to
keep up right merrily until Lent calls a
halt.
The army and navy reception at the EN-
ecutive Mansion. which is always brilliant
and effective, with so much gold braid and
general gorgeouSness of uniforms, will be
rivaled by the dainty Small and Early at
Rauscher's, and the glorious welcome \of
traditional hospitality at the southern ball.
The Small and Early has furnished
Washington society with some of the pref
test memories of beauty, youth and sim
plicity 1t has ever known, and undoubtedly
all future seasons there will be similar
functions at which the youngest aspirants
for belledom will smile and dance and dis
appear when the clock strikes twelve

southern ball draw to its place of meet
ing fashion and lovers of pleasure for
the fifth time. Every arrangement has
been made by the ladies in charge for
