Navy People
Present

Another season of the Friday cotillon
dances, under the management of Mrs.
Ynez Shorb White. was inaugurated
last night, and it bids fair to be as
charmingly successful as have been
the others. Nearly 200 guests, mem
bers of the club, gathered in the Pal
ace Hotel, and the attractive little
building was the scene of unlimited
mirth and merriment. A distinctive
feature of the affair, and one which
added greatly to it's success, was the
presence of a large number of army
and navy people, many coming from
Mare Island and the nearby army posts
for the occasion.
The ball room was not decorated,
save for few potted palms, the man
agement refusing to permit more elab-
crate adornment of the interior.
