VEILED PROPHETESSES, TOO,
INVADE THE CAPITAL

The festival Of the fez is in full swing
and bloom in Washington. The Yelled
Prophets brought a distinctly agreeable
and brilliant contingent with them to
Washington. as they are accompanied by
their wives and daughters. 1t has been
a long time since Washington has en-
joyed such a picturesque invasion as the
Yelled Prophetesses, who gave tone. col
or, and animation to the red parlof and
corridors Of the New Willard last night
and at the city's theaters. The ladies
were the wonder and admiration OF the
rest of society, and certainly nothing
has been seen here for a long time as
peculiarly dashing and interesting as
the multi-colored headgear of these
wives and daughters of the Yelled
Prophets. Ten to one the souvenir fezes
of the lady visitors will become an au-
tumn style, as they are charmingly be-
coming and carry with them the air of
dash and bravery so dear to the femi-
nine heart.
The big event in which the women of
the Yelled Prophets in Washington fig
ured last night was the reception ten
dered to the visiting lodges by the ladies
Of the KallipoIis GrOttO. The notable eff
feet of the costumes at the reception was
the variety OF the leZ. 1nlS varied with
the lodges souvenirs which were pre-
sented by the various lodges. Some were
white with brilliant gold lettering and
some red with white lettering and gold
lettering. All were graced by waving
dancing tassels, which gave an animated
note to the assemblage OF the visitors
and their Washington friends.
Where all was so attractive, it is per-
haps invidious to select any of the lodges,
but 1t is a fact that the local lodge
outshOne the others in gorgeousness OF
their fezes, which was peculiarly its own.
This feZ consists Of the usual Turkish
cap, but Ornamented with an extremely
pretty tassel of heavy royal purple silk.
This accorded harmoniously with the
color scheme Of the reception room, the
walls OF which were decorated with red
hangings, on which were disposed here
and there magnificent purple chrysanthe-
NUNS.
Aside from the mystic and beautiful
headdress of the Yelled Prophecies, the
gowns of many of the visiting ladies and
their hostesses of Washington were re-
markable for their costliness and beauty.
There was a lot of good-natured rivalry
among the handsome wcmen at the re-
ceptiou is to who deserved the palm of
beauty par excellence. Miss Anna Lem
hart, a striking brunette of New York
City, had thousands of admirers who
would have voted for her IL they had had
