Daughter" the Verdict of
Chang Yin Tang

Dazzled by the brilliancy of the dis
play coineident to the gorgeous, dainty,
ephemeral ball gowns. 1910 model ex-
plotted for the first time in San Fran
cisco at the Friday night ball at the
St Francis hotel, Chang Yin Tang, Chi
nese minister to the United States,
Lady Chang and members of their suite
were overcome by oriental decorum and
fled blushing from the scene of spIen-
dor. With the diplomat and his wife
as they quit the ballroom were their
reluctant daughters, dra gged ruthlessly
from the lights and frolics and beauti-
full shoulders, while the envoy extraor-
binary murmured the Chinese equiva-
lent for This is. no place for minis
ter's daughter"
Minister Chang. Lady Chang and
other members of the extensive suite
of the party were the specially invited
guests at the ball given. by the -four
and twenty patronesses" at the ST.
Francis Several boxes were placed
at their disposal for use during the
evening. These were filled early.
Now it happened that the night of
the Chinese dignitaries' visit was that
selected by San Francisco society lead
ers as the one on which they would
display their latest Partisan model
gowns. There is nothing particularly
scant in material in the new costumes
but there is question of the location
of the bulk of the silk which may be
ethically discussed. There are sump-
tuous and prodigal trains on all the
gowns, but there is nothing topheavy
about them.
The exquisitely sinuous 'BIue Mouse,
effect was not entirely lacking. Some
social epigrammatist calls them Blue
Mouse" gowns-but that might not be
the name for them. Any way, much Of
the material is lavished on the train.
Minister Chang and his party looked
with Peking curiosity at the dazzling
whiteness of the scene below the boxes
The muffied shoulders of the Chinese
women shrugged uneasi1y at the liber-
ality of material-in the trains There
were few polite, diplomatic words ex-
changed. There was rustic of Chinese
silks, and the Chinese women, with
their muffied shoulders Struggling,
passed out of the zone of the dazzling
social set.
Nothing was said by the gracious
oriental guest as he departed which
may lead to his recall by order of the
four and twenty patronesses. The ball
continued with unhampered zeal. The
social set did not even shrug its snowy
shoulders at the orinetal exodus 1t

Would Act Promptly

1t is fair assumption however, that
should American lives be put in jeop-
ardy, or America9 business interests
action would be taken.
Navy officials today, while admitting
that the marines, which are expected
to land from the Dixie at Colon today,
would be hurried across the isthmus
and put on board the Buffalo, said the
vessel had received no orders to sail
to Corinto, However, it is given out
that the taking aboard of 725 marines
almost certainly means an immediate
sailing, as otherwise the marines would
have been kept on shore until needed

Take Issue With ZeIaya

Questioned today as to the truth of
the several statements made by Presi-
dent Zelaya in an interview, govern
ment officials said the interview was
full of error. Two conspicuous ex-
amples were pointed out. One was
that Zelaya disclaimed the execution of
Cannon and Groce was by his order.
Another was that Zelaya had sent a
communication to the United States
government expressing his Willingness
to allow the United States to name a
commission to investifate all of the
matters in connection with the recent
disturbances to which this govern
ment took exception and he would
abide by the results of their investi-
cations No such communication, it
was said had been received.
