Some Innovations.
No sign OF host and hostess. This
was the first innovation of the Manns
dinner dance and then they began dan
cling before dinner!
You see 1t was a masquerade party
and to carry out the idea there were
no greetings. The guests as they ar
rived simply joined the group OF
dancers, with Mr.. and Mrs. Mann
somehow among them. And then when
1t came to dine, places were found by
number.
1t was so pretty to come up the stair
way and find the great hallway filled
with a colorful group of merrymakers,
some of them pretty, many OF them
amusing, and all with a touch of orig
inality about their costumes. The house,
too, was gay in it's dress of spring now-
ers, and there were two great tables
for the sixty guests.
They danced before and after dinner
and in between the courses-oh, 1t was
all great fun.

May Adams, in a fetching black and
white Pierrot costume, had everybody
quito mystihed. and somebody gave a
flip to the interest in her identity by
spreading the report that she was a
Baltimore woman-rich, beautiful, and
twice divorced.
II was only near the end OF the even
ing that the others found out who she
really was, and there was one yelled
lady. an Indian princess, who retained
her incognita to the end. think 1t was
Mrs. Victor Blue, but nobody was quite
sure.
Come as Twin "Dinahs."
Mrs. Theodore Baldwin and Miss
Judge came as twin "Dlnahs," with
| their faces blacked, and made a most
| impressive entry. running across the
J room and swinging their busters. Then
there was Mrs. Hsmpson Gary as a Mt
tie girl, her glorious hair hanging way
below her waist.

Girl, and Mrs. Horace Westcott, a won
