The Washington herald., 1907-04-02

The bail given by Mrs. James Wads-
worth at Rausehers last night might be
counted as an end Of very brilliant sea-
son, or the beginning Of what promises
to be an equally brilliant one, though not
so formal. since society has announced its
intention Of staying at the Capital far in
TO the summer. The supper and dancing
rooms We're were decorated most artistic
ally. though simply, with palms. which
made Il fitting background for the sum
faery costumes CT the women 1t is a
notable fact that ali bali gowns just at
this period are sheer. diaphanous. and
boufant, suggesting the spring season.
Mrs. Wadsworth looked particularly
handsome in a costume of white satin.
deliberately trimmed with black chantiily
with which she wore pearls and dia-
monds, while Miss Wadsworth's frock Of
pink chiffon velvet. built on rather simple
lines. was extremely becoming TO her
type.
There were some 800 guests present In
eluding the diplomatic corps. the sena-
tors and Representatives who are still in
town, other officials Of the government,
and the members Of society to shom the
passing of Congress has no meaning
There were several dinners given before
the bah. the most notable of which was
Miss Keans. the guests at these fune-
tions coming in late.
The cotilEon began after supper which
was served I'm courses at some forty small
tables, beautifully decorated with spring
flowers. and was led by Capt. Gilmore
aud Miss Wadsw0Tth. The favors were
happily chosen. those for the women be
ing work bags fancy boxes, coral neck
laces. paper lilies, and parasois, while
the men acquired coin purses, cigarettes
knives, and address books. Some OF the
figures were especially unique and must
have tested the inventive genius 0f the
leader.
