Them-A Golden Wedding Fete-
Interesting Personal Notes.
The charity ball. as the annual observ-
ance in which society expects to see and be
| seen. was held last night at the Arlington.
| While not perhaps quite as crowded an af-
! fair as its projectors might have wished. 1t
| is not likely to fail ever so little financially
on that account. AS a gathering Of the
most substantial Of the capitals residents
the ball came quite near the ideal. and for
| the major part of the company, to whom
any ball means constant dancing, every
opportunity for full enjoyment was pres
ent. 1t was late ball, in the sense that
the first dozen arrivals had the entire suite
at the Arlington, ball room we'll as the
rest, to themselves until about 10. After
that the incoming stream of well-dressed
humanity poured in for an hour, and the
success OF the evening was apparent on all
sides. The ball room. where the Marine
band furnished the music, was elaborately
decorated. The ceiling was canopied In
green vines, baskets of ferns hung between
| the electric lights, and the mirrored walls
were +festooned with vines and reflected the
Jardiniere effects In foliage plants and
blooming azaleas. The ball was given for
the benefit of the Children's Hospital with
which good work the annual charity ball
has been identified for many years
