usHeFed m with the usual formaIity Manager Osborn and his associate, receiving hearty greeting and con sratulations on their return to hote life of this resort..
 The visiting fashionables and resi- dehl smart set, gayly re-enforced by select delegation of Little Rock, ultra swell set did the honors most handsomely by the Hotel Eastman. annual inaugural ball.
 Few larger or better dressed throngs have ever graced a ballroom Ih any Southern city than took DOS session of the Monarch of the Glen last night The stylish Arlington se. turned out practically en masse and It can be added that the fashionable hostelry is housing its usual great mld-January crowd of smar- folks from New York, Chicago, Philadel. phla' St Louis and the other big Northern and Eastern cities. Right nc" The guests at the Arlington make hall or performance of any kihd by attending, or break f. bv staying away. Last night they did thelr full share in making" a smart. S|agger success of the Hotel East mans annual inaugural ball.
 Then, credit is also coming to Hot Springs stylish smart set while the lAttIe Rock fashiOnables who attend. ed must be complimented for the cor. rectness of their attire. As regards lhe resident social colony it once again showed how -ruly wonderful it Is To begin with. there were but lew absentees. The young set never looked more charming. while the old set IS just as young. so far as all ap- pearances go, as it was at other in ausural balls given in the long ago.
 Last night Miss Ho. Springs en- countered Miss Chicago, Miss New York Miss St. Louis. and a host of her other cousins, all looking their finest, and especially exquisitely gowned, as the Hotel Eastman's ball was the first one of he neW '"sea- son. But chic and as handsome as all our fair visitors looked, the dain- ty, dashing Miss Hot Springs cer- tainly lacked nothing in comparison.
 In advance of the great inaugural ball one that everyone attending en- joyed immensely and one that was most gratifying to MT Albert B. Gaines and Col Lyman T. Hay, who are laboring so diligently agains, great odds to give Hot Springs one of the most profitable seasons On record, there was life galore in the main dining room and in the grill A number of the Eastmans early ar rivals, as well as a score or more Arlingtonians and quite a few Ho Springs people. gave dinner parties and Steward Jake Miller left noth- ing to be desired.
 The Hotel Eastman's new orches- tra more than pleased the dancing set, though to an extent it was hand icapped in it's performance owing 10 the absence of Director John B. GIa- ham, He missed train connections at Memphis The program he arrang- ed was a particularly good one and his orchestra did each number full justice, onl va few of the dancers fearing or realizing that Prof. Ora ham was not present.
 Manager and Mrs. Osborn made the finest of hosts, just as they al ways do, and. with the beautiful ball room looking prettier than ever in it's new dress, and the different par lors fairly sparkling in the radiancy of their new attire there was noth- ing missing. Then, the crush was there and, as has already been tod, the venderful crush was wonderfully attired.
