Scene of Beauty.
9TH E r PL E A S A Mt TOPICS

The unusual features of the spring sea-
son which redeemed the general average of
the year from the charge of dullness seem
extraordinary, even for this era of wonder
full happenings. A good many people are
leaving town with the impression that the
gayeties are about over, but nothing like
scatteration will occur till late in June.
The charity ball at the Westinghouse man
sion Monday night has aroused so much
interest that no matter how often the date
was changed it only increased the cnthu-
sasm. There is no possible reason now, so
say the managers, that any further change
should be made. and consequently Monday
night, socially considered, is pre-empted for
this event Mrs. Westinghouse will receive
the guests, assisted by Mrs. Charles II.
Davis, president of the hospital board, and
other officers of the Institution, including
Mrs. Hoeke, Mrs Shields, Mrs. Hammond
and Miss Keats Rodgers. The floor managers

The Anderson-Ward wedding Wednesday
at noon was notable event even for Wash
ingtOn. Considerable eClat attends the
simplest affairs. There was none of the
hustle and confusion which has been APP
parent at SO many of the weddings this
spring, although the church was comfort
ably crowded and there We're few absentees
from the set whose presence lends the regu-
lation distinc ton to such occasions. The
ushers We're particularly efficient. The
brides dress was by far the most elegant
worn this season. The lace on 1t was beau-
tiful and abundant and the brides height
made its wearing exceedingly becoming.
While the day was not all smiles or sun
shine. the toilets worn were light in color
and certainly as far as the younger women
were conc erned of the most delicate faD-
RIGS. Hats were gay enough to suggest
the whole grouping in the front pews as
one vast bouquet. The bridal bouquet Is
increasing in size, and is most frequently
now of orchids and llacS, rather than roses
or orange blossoms. The deep pink of the
bridesmaids dress with which her hat cor
responded, was most effective. Miss Alice
