| who have labored hard for weeks to-
ward the success, which replenishes the

| among the families of southern veterans.
All Washington seemingly, resident and
| transient, came to help along the cause and
incidentally to have a good time. The two
ball rooms were thronged to the walls. the
first one where Miss Mamie Randolph Heth,
| president of the society received in its
name, and the second where dancing was
| in progress from 8 until this morning,
| with only the interval for supper as a
| pleasant break. Palms and ferns and trail
| ing vines gave a festive touch to each ball
| room, the Marine Band playing the dance
| and the eth Cavalry Band the promenade
| music.
