| Washington Assembly were hosts last
| night at their annual ball which has
\ come to be recognized as the most ele-
| CANT as it is the final social function of
| the official season. The ballroom of the
Arlington was as green as a Southern
| forest with laurel that canopied the cell
| ing and palm trees that hedged the walls.
| The mirrors that panel the great room
were banked with blossoms, pink and
white; the foliage-filled windows were
draped with nile green and over the
leafy walls near the ceiling rippled
| steamers and bows of pink ribbon.
| Through the walls and ceiling of living
| green twinkled tiny electric lights that
! gave an air of fairy enchantment to the
! scene.

ceived the guests were: Walter V. R.
