IN FANCY DRESS.
,,,,1e Folks Danced at the Winnie
Davis Ball.

- Imaginable when filled with the
,t.Is folks who had come in masquer-
- and party froeks to dance at the
,.ll of the Winnie Davis Chapter.
At one end of the hall was a table
a-aned with the Confederate colors
I'D here the handkerchiefs were dis
.aved for sale, their dainty handwork
:, lace and hemstitching showing ef-
..otvely against the bright red be-
..a+h. Mrs. Marmelstein, Mrs. Wolff,
Mrs John NJ. Bryan, and Miss Rena
vaUieant presided, assisted by num-
,.r Of their friends, and the sale pro-
,ressed most satisfactorily.
Here and there about the hall the
confederate flags were draped above
mo heads of the little people, who were
stated side by side around the big
NOM. d shifting picture of gay colors
for with so much that was
exciting and charming it was
mpossible to keep still even
minute between the dances, and the
restless little feet were swinging or
tapping time, or carrying their eager
4 owners across the room to greet some
bslated newcomer.
The fancy costumes were ingenious
and pretty, and when their proud pos
SCISSORS passed for review in the grand
march they were greeted with warm
applause. The judges were Mrs. A. B.
Hull. Mrs ]. B. Johnson, Mrs. James
S. Wood and Mrs. Harry Dreese. The
march was led by Miss Gertrude Fal-
lgant, who, as Martha Washington,
made a lovely picture of the days of
match and powder, and Miss Cecilia
Soomons who represented Japanese
fan. Her dress was cleVerly contriVed
of green Japanese crepe paper, with
lowered front and panniers of open
fans over each shoulder of the low
bodice was a fan, and still another
was worn in the hair. Among the 9TH
ers in costume were Masters Regi-
1ald overs eet, as Hiawatha, in true
Indian garb, with war paint on his
cheeks, and in his hand a formidable
pmahawk; Miss Nell Wolff, who was
most attractive scrap basket in a
gown of green and white tissue paper,
nterlaced and for hat an inverted bas-
ket, Miss George Nichols, who very
meetly and daintily represented
Spring" in a frock of green lawn al
most completely covered with
i losegays; Miss Rita Hines, who
was a cunning figure as Dolly
Warden, in an old-fashioned flow
cred gown of pink and blue,
with basket of flowers on her plump,
bare arm; Miss Lucille Fitch, who was
dear little Japanese maid in a yell
low kimona, with cherry colored fac
ings Miss ElOise Daniels, who repre-
sented yellow chrysanthemum: Miss
Eleanor Middleton, who was a flower
girl Miss Dorothy Harrison, who made
a charming little curly-haired paper
doll, in a ruffled frock, with a pink
lowered border and big pink sash.
Master Railford Wood was a
miniature Lafayette, in a black velvet
suit, silk stockings, buckled shoes, and
cooked hat; and side by side his
trusty friend, George Washington. who
was represented by Master Jared IT.
win Wood in a suit of bright blue
with buff facings. The two little fell
lows, marching together with their
powdered heads and quaint costumes
3 were charming to see.
Another clever costume was that of
s Master Arthur Gregory, who was I'M
s mistakably Robin Hood, in a suit of
4 hunters green doublet and hose. The
s. big puffed sleeves were slashed with
3 yellow, and in the little green cap were
8 two upright quilts. With a dagger at
q his belt, and bow and arrow in his
8 hand, the effect was pleasing.
Miss Agnes Simmons, who represent
ed the Lost Cause" looked like a lit
4 tie Confederate flag herself in a dress
OF some soft silk, the full skirt white
* with deep border of red. The
waist was all red, and crossed by
Il bands of dark blue bearing
the white stars. Her hair was
Il Wreathed with cypress, and
IA one hand she carried an American
nag. in the other the flag of the Con-
B federacy.
Perhaps the prettiest. figure in the
room was Miss Susie Cole Winburn,
4 VINO seemed the very incarnation of
spring. She wore a gauzy princesse
frock Of white lawn and lace with a
PINK crepe sash, her whole small fig
uie entWined with a garland of deli
oale pink roses. and her fair hair
crowned with the same lovely bios
