Christmas Ball
Fitting Climax
To Day of 10y
BY JEAN ELIOT.

May the Christmas ball for the
,enefit OF the -Children's Country
iome become Rs permanent a fea-
.ure OF the Washington season as
he Charity ball-for the Children's
Iospital-in early January and the
southern Relief ball in February!
certainly the dance helps to bring
'hristmas Day to a Joyous conclusion
md with each repetition-there have
1een two or three before the ball at
tsuscher's last night-grows more.
'opular.
But what a change the war has
wrought in Washington-shall ! say
audiences or congregations? At all
events one enters a ballroom nova
lays to find oneself in a sea OF
strange faces, and 1t takes time to
discover that ones familiars are real
ly there among the throng. This was
true even last evening at a ball
which is SO essentially in the hands
OF resident society as is the ball for
the Children's CountrS Home.
Service Men In Majority.
This is always a pretty party, with
smart young matrons in their pret-
test frocks, debutantes. their arms
full OF Christmas bouquets, and slim
''flappers" home from school to make
up the, feminine element and beaux
ito match" in assorted ages. This
year, OF course, most of the beaux
were in navy blue, the army olive
drab or the sundry variations thereof
worn by the marine corps, the navy
aviation corps, and other branches OF
the service.
We'll, 1T is, good to see you back!
And so you're in the service now. A
captain? Fine businessT" There's a
sample OF the cline of conversation"
one heard all about last evening, for
the usual crop of Christmas visitors
was in evidence and most OF them in
uniform. 1 saw Capt. Alfred Rob-
bins, U. s. NJ c., back on furlough
after a two years absence in the
West; Spencer Gordon, home from
Chicago for the holidays; the good
looking Lieutenant Chenoweth, OF the
Engineer Corps. who used to be sta
toned at Washington Barracks; Bob
bic Bell, and scores of others.
Handsome Mrs. Ormsby Mccain
mon, who has been a war widow"
for months now, had her stalwar.
husband, Captain McCammon, Signal
Corps, U. S. A., II you please, with
her. He has recently beenNtransferred
from the ambulance corps. They were
with Mr.. and Mrs. Josph Letter. who
also had Mrs. Letters mother, Mrs.
John R. Williams, as their guest.
Only Two In Receiving Line.
All OF which brings me back to the
place where 1 should by rights have
started, the receiving line, II one may
so designate Mrs. Letter, president
of the board OF the Children's Country
Home, and Mrs. James F. Mitchell,
who stood together to greet the
guests. Mrs. Letter wore q stunning
gown OF midnight blue broeaded vel
vet, cut en- train and garnished with
a wee bit of duchess lace, and Mrs
Mitchell had on a delightful emerald
green frock, fashioned OF brocaded
satin. They made a pretty pict1re
standing together, with a British Of
ficer or two. or other masculine no
tables in the offing; and I submit that
the absence OF a long line was q re-
lief to everybody.
Jewels? Yes, I know Jewel cases have
been emptied for this ball in other
years, but last evening they were not
