they danced and posed. Another innova-

a lovely blue frock deliberately embroidered
and finished by a yellow sash; In the second
act her gown was pale blue. with an en-
third act she appeared in a striking scarlet
gown. Mrs. Hollett wore two real Japa-
nese robes of exquisite finish, the first a
kimona of pale blue silk, embroidered with
cherry blossoms, and the second a lovely
kimona of heavy white silk with handsome
embroidery of golden birds and crimson
flowers. Her hair was deliberately done
with decorations of fans and tiny parasols.
Mrs. Gates wore a smart yachting frock.
Some of the men wore Japanese costumes
that were quaint in their contrast with the
conventional clothes of the others.
Following the play there was the usual
dance and supper. The club danced until
after midnight to welcome in the New
Year. A large number Of out-of-town
guests were present with the club men,
bers for the play and dance.
