Miss Taft was the guest of honor at a
Gotillion last night. given by former

their home. Boundary Castle. There were
eighty dancers, and the cotillion began
at $3.50. which IS distinctly a new order OF
things in Washington society, where the
guests are asked for dancing at lc
o'clock. and eohliions usually begin at /.
after the midnight suppers. Mrs. Hen
derson had just a cotillion, with an in
termssion at midnight for supper Her
| beautiful ballroom was most attractive
in the Cistmas decorations. and the
red banquet-roOm, where supper was
| served, was eq1nly SO. The favors were
of silver and bronze. tied with red rib
bons. and for the flower favor red roses
and carnations were used.
The cotllion was unique in the choice
of figures. as there were comic as well
| as artistic ones. and the comic figures
created the greatest merriment. One
was a cake walk; another a hobble-skirt
| figure, when the men had favors of hob
ble-skirt effect; a grand chain figure,
( two march figures. and a basket figure.
