made the presentations.
Isn't II curious how much indi-
viduality q charity ball, given at the
same place as most OF the other char
ity balls OF the season and very SINH
lar as to detail. can have? Each one
] have attended this year has been
distinctly different from the others.
Last nights party was in some ways
the pleasantest Of the lot. II was a
pretty party, for most OF the guests
were young people, OF the resident"
persuasion as opposed to the officials,
and they apparently had on their
smartest frocks.
An Enjoyable AFFAIR.
And II was q thoroughly enjoyable
party, because there was no crowd.
Perhaps the board OF managers Of
the Episcopal Home for Children
would have been pleased to see a
greater jam, but to the guests Il was
a pleasure to be able to dance with
out being impaled every few moments
on a passing elbow or forced, as one
young officer put II at the Southern
ball, to "climb the shins OF a general"
by way OF decorations there was a
frieze OF the flags OF the allies about
the ballroom. and by way OF supper
well. II the Hoovers were there, and
I didn't see them-thev must have
been somewhat scandslized. Several
good things, and no trouble ut all
about getting seated and waited on. |
