other night, "I am sick of charity

1t? None of this winters balls have
brought out the crowds as they all
did last winter. for while the war
was on people felt they ought not
to dance unless it was in the name
of charity, so grasped every such
chance.
Washington's entire social world
was not only present at the ball
but were allied with it in some
way. Hardly a family in society
but had some member taking part
in the function. l am sure it must
have been the first time that all
of the diplomats accredited to this
country by foreign powers united
in one effort to raise funds for
local charity. Many of them have
worked together while the great
war was on, for some war relief
work, but not for a charity that
concerned only the nations Capital.

The costumes for the various groups

The pageant went off without a
hitch. 1t started on time and there
was not q minutes delay or a dull
moment until it was all over. Even
the judges did not take long TO pro-

Not since the great war plunged
the world into sorrow have so many
diplomats gathered together at one
time in Washington.
The ball was opened with a Eor-
geous pageant of groups of young
people representing the allied and
neutral nations arranged under the
supervision of prominent women OF
society and the diplomatic corps,
some member of the corps arrang-
ing the group of the nation to which
she belongs, thus giving an accuracy
and interest to every group such as
only could be obtained here in
Washington.
The countries represented in the va

faces and the unmistakable lines OF
the willard ball room made II pos

1t was a lovely ball In every sense
and one of the best managed affairs
ever given here; even the supper was
well managed and everyone could eat
in comfort and leisure without hav-

Of the Red Room for ages awaiting
their turn, as is so often the case

The diplomats certainly held the
center Of the stage last week. The
week opened with diplomatic
wedding and two days later the
Ball of the Nations for the benefit
OF Neighborhod House brought out
the entire Diplomatic Corps. A di-
plomatic reception at the White
House could not have attracted
more. for all of the ENJOYS of other
nations now in the city were to be
found in the willard ball room last
Wednesday night. Members OF the
Diplomatic Corps were hosts at din
ner during the week and also honor
guests at a number of large dinner
parties. Some of the diplomats have
been coming and going to and from
town while interesting news about
others has been circulated during
the week.
The wedding last Monday of Sc
norita Maria de Bonillas, one of the
unusually attractive daughters Of
the Mexican Ambassador and Nine.
Bonillss and Lieut.. Giuseppe Cop
pola, of the Royal Italian army, was
a very beautiful event and followe ed
the Spanish customs. The guests
made as distinguished a company
as could have been gott<a together,
with many officials and representa-
tives of the smart resident set in the
Capital there as well as the ambas-
ssdors and ministers of foreign
countries TNw in Washington. A
loyelier setting for the wedding
would have been hard to find than
the picturesque mirrored ball room
at the Mexican Embassy in street.
In past years those mirrors have re-
feeted many other gatherings just
as brilliant as one one that met
there last Monday.
The members of the Italian Mill
tary Mission to which Lieut. Cop
pola is attached, came to Washing
ton from their headquarters in New
York for the occasion. After the
wedding trip the young couple will
go to New York to remain there un-
til the mission sails for Italy. Its
departure is scheduled for some
time in April. Among the witnesses

Medicine,

Ocilla, Ga.-Mr. j. H. McNellI. a
resident OF this place, says: II and
my family have been users of Thed-
ford's BlackDraught for years and
never yet found its equal for liver
and stomach troubles. 1t is without
doubt the best medicine for head
ache, indigestion and such ills on
the market. ] firmly believe il a
family would use it regularly they
would never have any fever, as it
keeps the liver active and is so easy
to take. We have never had any
fever in our family since we began
its use, although We live in low
country in Southern Georgia.
I use it in broken doses for indi-
sestion, gas or sour stomach, but
for colds | use full dose"
When you feel bad all over, stom-
ach not right, bad taste in your

about--Thedford's Black Draught.
