PEcole des Beaux-Arts. Proceeds
will go to families of artist-soldiers,
who have been left in distressing cir
cumstances because of the war.
But decidedly the most interesting
innovation on the ball list of the
season is the brilliant function which
the diplomatic representatives of
Latin-America will tender to the Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson on Wednesday
evening. The ambassadors, ministers,
and charges d'affaires will be the hosts
and the Pan-American Building is to
be the appropriate setting for this
most distinguished function which
will have an attendance from
the most exclusive circles of Capital
society. While essentially a state
ceremony and insured all beauty and
perfection of detail, much formality
incident to such distinguished honor
guests will be waived "in accordance"
as the hosts announce, with the we'll
known democratic spirit of the Presi-
dent and the cordial, but profoundly
respectful feeling in which the ball is
given to him and his bride by the
sister republics of America"
