Western Wallachia apparently Is

IN Al entertainment which achieved
such popularity in Bar Harbor last
summer and again in New York
several weeks ago. There is some
thing undenisbly chic in black-and-
white ball, now that Europe has set
the fashion for the somber hue, and
the limited color scheme offers sug-
gestions for some striking effects in
decoration, quite remote from the
usual scene of brilliant lights and gor-
geoHs-hued flowers. The names OF
such prominent women as Viscount-

Cards were out last Wednesday for
a reception in honor of the President
and Mrs. Wilson to be given by the
Congressional Club on the evening of
February "a. The function will no
doubt be the most elaborate and bril-
liant of series of interesting hospi-
taiities which have marked the social
program of the club this season. Mrs.
Atlee Pomerene is a most able and
charming president and she is assist
ed by group of women whose sue
cess as hostesses has sent widespread
the fame of the Congressional Club.
On Friday afternoons, when the club
rooms are gay with flowers and a
fragrant cup of tea follows an inter-
esting musicale or reading, it is small
wonder that the club is the popular
rendezvous of the official folk.
Another club whose activities are
causing more than ripple in the
fashionable world is the Riding and
Hunt. The club house at Twenty
second and P streets is the haunt of
riding enthusiasts of the Capital on
Thursdays, when musical drill is fol-
lowed by tea and dancing. OF late,
there has been a jumping contest as
an added interest with a handsome
silver cup offered to the winner. Mrs.
w. Sinclair Bowen carried off the cup
last Thursday for the highest record
in the series of competitions. With
