MISS LUCKETT's MAY BALL.
An Excellent Programme and Re-
mnrkabIy Well Rendered.

The annual May ball held under the aus
pices of Miss Vergie Luckett's school of
dancing was given yesterday afternoon at
4 O'Clock at the Columbia Theatre. Miss
Lucketts exhibitions have always been
unique in style and programme. and this
one was no exception to the rule. They
have become events TO be looked forward
to every spring, and the friends of the
school and the young teacher turned out
in large numbers yesterday to witness the
result of the years training. The pro-
gramme given was OF great length but
was well filled up and at no time did the
audience lose interest in the entertainment,
a fact to which their frequent and hearty
applause bore abundant testimony. The
fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty was enact
ed by the little ladies and gentlemen who
have been studying so hard for the last
year to perfect themselves in the maZes of
the whirling dance under Miss Luckett's
kind and patient guidance. in a very
charming manner. Aside from the wonder
full manner in which the young teacher
has trained and drilled her scholars, prob
ably the most distinctive feature of the
performance was the work of Miss Edith
Luckett young girl ten years of age.
In the title role of the presentation. Miss
Edith had dual part, enacting the fairy
queen as well as the Sleeping Beauty She
took both parts in the best possible man
ner and several times gave evidence of re-
markable self possession and good stage
presence. Her dances were especially fine
during one of which she lost her shoe. This
did not disturb her, however, for without
stopping to replace The refractory foot
gear. she finished the entire act in her
stockingfee
She was frequently interrupted in the
course of her dances with the applause of
her friends and was the recipient of sew
eral large bouquets. Another feature OF
the performance that attracted great deal
of attention was the dancing of little Miss
Viola Mallette, tot not more than three
years of age. Her dances were all ex-
cellent, and she kept time to the music
with remarkable accuracy. Others who
took part in the entertainment were j. 0.

roR UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Washington Ladies' to Take Action
Sustaining the Cznr's Plan.


Sustaining the Czar's Plan.
At a meeting held yesterday afternoon
in the parlors of the Congregational
Church, at the corner Of Tenth and
Street northwest, representatives from all
the women's organizations in the District
completed arrangements for holding pub
lie mass meeting next Sunday afternoon at
3 O'Clock at the same church at which
resolutions favoring the Cars universal
disarmament plan will be presented for
| adoption by the women OF the District. An
interesting and attractive programme was
arranged, the features of which will be the
rendition of vocal and instrumental music
and addresses. by prominent women of the
city. The meeting to be held is in re-
sponse to call sent out last March by the
| women of Paris and Berlin who are much
interested in the project, and who are US
ing their best efforts to influence the
women of other countries to express them
selves in favor of the universal peace plan.
The movement has been suggested to local
branches of women's organizations all over
the United States, and seems to have been
fayorably accepted wherever the idea has
been introduced. Meetings OF the charac-
ter of the one to be held here Sunday are
being held in many parts of the United
States. Upon the adoption of the resolu-
tions. which have already been drafted,
they will be cabled to the Peace Confer
ence, which is to meet in June at The
Hague.
1t was decided at the meeting yesterday
to call upon the following ladies for ad-

day, the Public Opening Day.
The members of the Ceramic Club. an
organization devoted to the art of china
painting, received their friends and gave
a private view of their exhibit at the gal
leries of the Society of Washington
Artists, 1920 Connecticut Avenue, yester-
day afternoon and evening. Refreshments
were served during the evening and the
members of the club entertained the
crowds that thronged the rooms from the
opening TO the close in most hospitabIe
manner.
The Ceramic Club is a comparatively
new organization in the artistic colony
in Washington and this is the opening OF
their first exhibit. The public display
opens today and everyone will be welcom-
ed by the members who are able to be
present. The exhibit embraces almost
everything known to china painting and
includes the work of every member of
the club, together with some Of the finest
works OF New York artists, which are
contained in a loan exhibit in the rear
of the club display. The largest con-
tributor to the exhibition is Miss Sue A.
Buckingham. Some of her paintings are
remarkable and called forth unstinted
praise from the critics who assembled In
the rooms for the private view. One OF
the principal features of Miss Bucking-
hams collection is an ice cream set con-
sisting OF four dishes which are colored
in the most unique manner with pink.
La France roses adorn the centres OF
each dish, and they are so naturally done
that the casual observer mistakes then,
for real flowers Among the other pieces
exhibited are two vases by Mrs. Jenkins.
the president of the club. These are color
ed by peculiar method and the effect IS
very startling. The object which will
probably attract the most attention in the
entire display is a head painted on a tray
by Miss Annie Shoenborn. The back
ground on which the head is painted is
very bold stroke of coloring. and the
figure is very much on the order of a por-
trait. The exhibit will be open to the
public the remainder of the week from
3 TO IL p. IN.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.
Negotiations Prejudiccd by the
Rcichxtng Committee's Action,

The outlook for successful reciprocity
negotiations with the German Government
is regarded as having been greatly preju-
diced by the action of the committee of
the Reichstag on the meat inspection bill
This measure, 1t was confidently expected,
by the friends OF reciprocity in both coun-
tries. would pave the way for successful
negotiations for trade treaty by eiminat-
ing the III feeling growing out of the meat
embargo.
Now that the meat BILL which was de-
vised TO overcome this obstacle 10 the reci-
procity negotiations. has been so sum-
marily disposed of by the Rechstag COM
mittee. the grayest apprehensions are
felt in Washington.
II has not been officially stated that the
reciprocity negotiations will be suspended,
but it is taken for granted that this will
be the case until such time as the Ger
man National Legislature shall take favor
orable action on the meat bill.
