The Woman's Army and Navy
League is making its preliminary ar
engagements for its annual ball to be
given on Easter Monday, April "a. at
the Navy Yard.
Capt. GIennOn, Commandant of the
yard, has given the use Of the spaci
Gus sail loft and every effort will be
made to make this ball, in point of
brilliance, one of the events of the
social season of the Capital.
The society recently celebrated its
twenty-eighth anniversary and in all
of these years has rendered splendid
service toward assisting service
chaplains and others in promoting
the welfare and happiness of the en-
listed men OF the army. 1t is hoped
that all patriotic men and women of
the Capital will share their interest
in the society by attending the ball,
thereby making some soldier or sailor
far away happy in the thought that
those al home are thinking Of his
welfare and contentment.
A few committees have already been
formed and others are in process of
formation. Mesdames Sampson. Sllas
Casey, Theodore Jewell. Emma Mourse.
Stimson Brown, Arthur willard. Henry
BarrolL. A. Howard Clark, ]. Living
stone Bayard are among those who
will assist the chairman of the ball
committee, Mrs. Alexander Sharp. For
a number of years Mrs. George Stern
berg was the efficient president Of
the organization. Recently she has
been succeeded by Mrs. E. q. Lisoun,
who is ably conducting the affairs Of
the society.
