teenth street yesterday afternoon and
evening. For each presentation a
brilliant company assembled. At one
end Of the ballroom a sort of tented
stage was arranged from which the
mannikins issued, and down through
the middle on a sort Of elevated be-
rugged aisle they promenaded and
showed their wonderfully beautiful
garments-not merely up to the
minute. but quite little ahead of 1t,
and in the loveliest material and most
artistic colorings.
Earlier in the day the mannikins
had sold liberty bonds at the Shore
ham. under the direction Of Mrs.
Longworth. who is handling the wom-
ans liberty loan drive so far as the
hotels are concerned. And they are
quite the most stunning aggregation
of young women Washingto has seen
for some time-not merely good look
ing. but smart looking" beyond
words.
There was some especially good mu-
sic in the course of the promenade, -
and Ponce, the child marvel whom
