BRILLIANT BALL
GIVEN IN ALABAMA
Officers Stationed at Camp Sheri-
dan Dance With Girls in Old
Costumes in the Minuet

Cities that are situated near training
camps have more of the joyous side of the
war spirit than there can be here. when so
many of our own soldiers are away and un-
able to get back even for the Christmas hol-
days. In Montgomery, Ala. the officers from
Camp Sheridan can come into town for
dances and entertainments. and there was a
brilliant ante-bellum ball given there recently
by the Cradle of the Confederacy Chapter,
United Daughters OF the Confcderacy. The
city auditorium. which was the scene Of the
affair. was gayly decorated with United States
flags and flags of the Allies. The grand
march was led by Governor Charles Hender-
son. assisted by "the first lady of the State {"
The assisting couple were Lieutenant Stanton
Hertz and Miss Clair Hertz. unique fea-
iure of the march was that without exception
every girls escort was IA soldier.
There were many old and beautiful cos
tunes worn. and the days of our grand
mothers were truly revived. Perhaps the
Oldest costume at the ball and one of great
interest because of its historic connections
was that worn by Miss Elise Rutledge Smith.
The gown was of heavy white satin, hand
painted in rich red roses. IL belonged to
MISS Smiths great-great-gre reat-grandmother
MFS. Daniel Horny, who was a French Iu-
guenot and came over the same vessel
from France with Chief Justice and Mrs
John Jay Mrs. Horny and Mrs. Jay became
close friends on this ocean voyage and Mrs
Jay, who was quite an artist, painted the
gown and presented 1t to her friend Mrs
forry II IS 1855 years old and is perfectly
preserved
Another pretty costume was worn by Mrs
Russ Smith and belonged to the late Mira
James Thomas. and was worn by her ar a
White House reception during President
Polk's administration
