BALL
BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Pre-Lenten Season Closes With
Reception at the Wash
ington.

A fitting climax to the gay pre-
lenten season was the assembly ball,
given in the Washington last night
by the young bachelor members Of
the social set. Palms and ferns were
grouped to form rest hooks in the
corners, and to partly conceal Fran
zen's orchestra, of New York, which
furnished the music.
All sorts of dainty favors were dis
tributed during the cotillon, led by
Stuart A. Young and j. Nelson Car
ter. An innovation was the continu-
Gus supper, served from 1880 to |
O'Clock. The guests went leisurely to
supper when the mood suited, and at
no time was the supper room crowded.
This idea will probably become a per-
manent feature.
The patronesses were: Mrs. John
d. Battin, in blue satin and gold bro
cade; Mrs Howard E. Ogle. who wore
pink chiffon over pink charmeuse,
with touches of old blue satin, and
carried pink roses: Mrs. Chauncey G.
Parker, gowned in gold lace, adorned
with knots of blue velvet, and carry
ing American beauties; Mrs. Roger
Young, who wore lace robe over
pink satin, with touches of blue vel
vet and carried gardenias, and Mrs.
Harry Durand, whose costume was OF
white brocaded satin, with chiffon
over dress adorned with rhine
stones. Mrs. Durand's flowers were
American beauties.
