A GRAND
ENTERTAINMENT
Mayor and Mrs. william DOuqdn
Celebrate Birth of First Ameri-
can by Entertaining Many
of Their Friends
VERY ARTISTIC COLOR EFFECTS

Decidedly the event of the season in
social circles was the Washington
ball given Wednesday evening by
Mayor and Mrs. William Dougan at
Woodman hall
Those who have heretofore partaken
of the royal hospitality of Mr. and
Mrs. Dougan were not slow in avail
ing themselves of tine pleasures as
sured by an invitation to this event
The hall was elaborately decorated,
the patriotic color scheme planned
by Mrs. Dougan being everywhere
carried out, a festoon of red, white and
blue ribbons suspended from the chaa-
deliers and ceiling, the flag fans on
the walls and the flag napkins
and the flower encircled portraits
of Washington at either end of
the hall heightening the effect of
the design, while the programs com
pletely carried out and emphasized
the historical sentiment associated
with the day. The programs bore
|
this was a hatchet in red, the effect
being intensified by green leaves and
red cherries completing the histori-
cal symbols The tables were per
feet bower, roses and carnations pre-
dominating with ropes of smilax
winding everywhere between the
beautiful china and cut glass appoint
ments. And as if this We're not
enough Mrs. Dougan had provided
each guest with Il cute souvenir i'm
the way of miniature hatchet to
which was tied with tricolored ribbon
two red cherries and green leaf
The supper was a most elaborate
affair, no trouble or expense having
been spared to make it ideal in every
respect
But the chief Characteristic of the
event and that which will cause it to
he remembered as especially unlike
other social functions was the appear
ance of the ladies in their Martha
Washington costumes. This distinc
tive feature of the occasion was great
ly appreciated by the male guests
who commented considerably upon
the charming appearance of the ladies
and their splendid imitation of Colo
nial costumes.
Another odd feature of the occasion
and one of attractive interest to the
men was the smoking nook or den
which was Mayor Dougan hobby
and which he had arranged in the
room to the south of the main hall.
The enclosure was set off by pretty
stage settings, the scenic effects be-
ing enhanced by the mellow electric
lights and here in comfortable rock
ing chairs the smokers enjoyed their
havannas while they praised their
host for the happy thought by which
such scheme was evolved.
Dancing was the chief attraction
and with a smooth hard floor and ex-
cellent music provided by Miss Hun
ter, Mr.. Rittmayer and Mr.. Moore
those who relish the terpsichorean art
had free rein to exercise their grace
and skill
1t was not until late hour when
the guests retired, feeling that they
had enjoyed the banner event of the
season and expressing the hope that
their gracious host and hostess had en-
joyed the event as had those who had
been the recipients of their hospital
