Scott Harrison and the Gen. Arthur st.
Clair chapters of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution last night in Tomlin-
son Hall, an unusual affair in the way
of brilliant social functions. Instead of
floor crowded with women in handsome
evening gowns, and their escorts, the floor
was empty as the guests gathered. and the
first half hour after the opening of the ball
the dancers included only lovely colonial
DANES and maids and their cavaliers, while
the modern folk sat in their boxes and were
merely the onlookers.
The grand march, opening the ball. and
the minuet following, were beautiful spec
tacles, and the different figures were re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause. The two
lines for the grand march came from either
end of the hall, one led by Mrs. William II.
Coleman, regent of the Caroline Scott Har
rison Chapter. with Mr.. w. f. c. Colt; the
other by Miss Martha Carey, regent of the
st. Clair Chapter, with DR.. Torian. The
march included a number of pretty steps
and several effective figures, all of which
evoked applause. The women all wore
frocks of quaint colonial style, with puffed
or straight panniers, and cut with square
necks or draped with fchus They wore
elaborate coiffures and their powdered hair
sparkling with jewels and combs or wreath
ed with flowers. their little black patches
here and there on cheek and brow and neck,
their buckled high-heeled shoes and their
black neckbands fastened by big brooches,
made their faithful copies of the lovely
colonial maids and stately danes of the
eighteenth century.
Following the grand march the dancers
formed into sets for the minuet and it is
to be doubted whether prettier sight was
ever seen in Indianapolis than the stately
measures danced by the quantity cOstumed
women and their partners. The minuet in
cluded four figures, two of which were
taken from the performance of Beau
caire, and all the figures included graceful
