Washington, March 4.-The gowns
at the inaugural ball tonight probably
surpassed those worn on any other
similar occasion. Mrs. Taft's sown
was one of the handsomest models ev-
er seen in Washington. A. severely
plain underdress Of heavy white satin
formed the foundation. Over this
was draped with consummate skill the
gown of white chiffon on which an ex-
quisite pattern of golden rod, the ma
tional color, was embroidered in sill
yer. The golden rod design was re-
peated in the embroidery Of the long
court train. Point lace formed the
sleeves and served to trim the decolle-
tage. She wore pearl dog collar and
diamond aigret In her hair.
Miss Helen Taft wore a girlish gown
Of white embroidered mousseline de
sole, made with extreme simplicity.
Knots of pale blue ribbon gave an ar
tistic touch to the frock. Her abund-
ant light hair was simply coiled and
she wore no jewelry.
Mrs. Sherman's gown was one OF the
most beautiful costumes seen at the
ball On foundation OF heavy white
satin q tunic Of white lace heavily en-
broidered in silver and crystal fell in
graceful folds. In place Of q decolle-
| tage the upper part Of the bodice show
ed a draped scarf effect Of the silver
| tissue, and the silver crystal motifs
were repeated in the long train and
closely fitting sleeves. She wore a
single diamond ornament In her Golf
fure and a diamond brooch. Mrs
Sheriff. Sherman. wife Of the son OF
the incoming vice president, wore q
white lace directoirc gown over white
satin, a diamond necklace and other
diamond ornaments. Mrs. Thomas
Sherman, another daughter-in-law. ap
peared in a white lace princess gown
with pearl and diamond ornaments.
