to the gay little maids from school.
Thus the Inaugural Ball, with it's
triumphal recognition of rank. wealth
and social achievement, comes to be
the matron's night to shine-and not in
reflected light, lest indeed, it be the
glamour of her husband that sur
rounds her.
And the truth to tell, most Of the
women at to-night's ball were amply
able to stand by themselves as types
Of high-bred, intelligent, high-spirited
Americans, with quite enough of per-
senal qualities to be reckoned with on
their own account And they were,
judging from the devout attention paid
many of them from the foreign con-
tingent.
And, by the way, this function was
the first national affair at which many
attaches Of the diplomatic corps have
officiated and was provocative of much

nearly all the other stunning gowns,
was cut round. Mrs. Chaffee wore

Among the ladies of the diplomatic
corps none was more fascinating than
the dashing Baroness Mayor des
Planches, wife of the italian Embas-
sador, who chose a pale yellow net,
bejeweled with sequins of mother of
pearl. The foundation of this gown
was of pale yellow satin, fitted snugly
to the figure. Over this was a slip of
white chiffon and then the fine
meshed net. At the hem of the skirt,
which was gored close to the hips and
f1ared generously at the foot, a broad
band of the sequins was introduced,
below which fell a soft, fluffy fiounce

decorated with a fall of rose point

stays in Washington long enough.
Among the many deductions to be
made from the most effective gowns
at the ball are these: The skirts are
close-fitting about the hips; faring
toward the hem; the Princesse gown
prevails, many showing petticoat of
lace on contrasting material; the
bodices are cut round-not square, as
has been threatened; few sleeves are

This lace elaboration was carried up
to the bodice, which was simply fin

pale blue satin fell back in soft folds,
while the long seams at the back and

woman, Of much dignity Of carriage
and of character-which, by the way,
seem to be closely allied. Her gown
was of heavy white Duchesse satin,
embroidered in roses, with a spun
gold thread. To impart a suggestion
Of slenderness the bodice and skirt
bore the same scheme of Ornamental
ton, consisting of a mass of tiny ruff
f1es of Brussels applique, beginning at
the corsage, narrowing to the waist,
then widening on the front panel of
the skirt to the hem. Outlining the

which peeped two fluffy tulle ruffles,

feet several ruffles of mousseline over

the smart gowns, was cut low on the

dressmakers-was simple blouse ef-

trains from the North, East South and
West have brought to the national
capital thousands representing the
wealth, beauty. brains and chivalry Of
the country to mingle with official life
centering about the White House.
Tonight, however, it is the old
Pension building, rather than the
Executive Mansion, upon which every
eye in Washington is trained, for be-
meath its vast roof the Inaugural Ball
IS on-and in full swing. Splendid in
al truth is this great social function
Of a great nation-diplomats from all
the world powers, a-glitter with gold
and gay with decorations; officers Of the
army and navy, resplendent in braid
and bullion, and hundreds Of superb
~ gewned women, types from every
part Of the nation, are gathered be-
meath one roof. For a fortnight the
solemn old Pension building has been
given up to the decorators and cleo
tricians, and tonight even the archi-
tect who built Ii would scarcely recog-
nize his handiwork, for little remains
visible of its interior features save the
broad upper gallery that overlooks the
lower court, and the marble columns
that support it

floral setting of an inaugural ball so
splendid, closely rivaling the famous
Bradley-Martin ball of half dozen
years ago.
All this formed the background for
some OF the handsomest and cleverest
women Of the nation. gowned as beft
so brave an occasion. And every
gown that could be seen-and un-
happily there were many in the crush
that met with the misfortune Of OBJ
scurity-were masterpieces Of the
dressmaker's art. 1t is at such affairs,
where are gathered the women Of all
sections of the country, that a fair
estimate may be formed Of the COM
posite American woman as she is So
cially-her manner Of dress, her de-
pertinent, her personality.
And tonight the diction has gone
forth that the. American woman does
know how TO dress, how to depot
herself with grace and dignity-and
that her personality is her fortune.
For thus many of the foreigners, who,
TO be sure are diplomats, have unani-
mously agreed. and assuredly we are
willing to take their word for it.
Mrs. Roosevelt, as first lady Of the
land, stood at the head of the re-

severe style in admirable manner, both
as to texture and design.
