There will be innumerable dinners
tonight preceding the Russian Ball,
for the benefit of the American refu-
gees at Petrograd, to be held tonight
at Wardman Park Inn. Society-diplo-
matte, official and residentIal-is more
generally interested than in any
event since the signing of the ar
mis- uce. approximately sixty boxes
have been sold. and the tickets have
been going like hot cakes-as indeed
they ought to. for aside from the
fact that the ball is arranged for
the benefit Of a cause that must ap-
peal to all, the tickets represent ac-
tually better value in entertainment
than is often offered by a charity
ball.
The price is moderate, and 1t in
Cludes not merely what promises to
be most enjoyable dance-the My
| ers Davis Orchestra has been be-
spoken for the occasion-but an un-
usually brilliant spectacle; and
whisper it!-supper. Moreover. there
there will be. as special feature
group of Chalif's best dancers in
their remarkable Russian ballet
Brought down from New York for
the occasion.
While the dance is not necessarily n
costume dance. everybody has been
asked to wear some characteristic ma
tional heafdress-preferably Russian;
and as there are a good many owned
in the diplomatic and official colonies
here, II is expected that there will be
a most interesting showing OF all
sorts of headdresses from the most
elaborate of Russian kakoschniks, to
simple arrangements of ribbons or
flowers. The list of boxholders and
patronesses. and the various commit
tees are quite too long to print-com-
prising pretty nearly the whole social
register.
Mrs. Marshall heads the list OF
patroneSses and she will open the ball,
arriving with Mrs. T'omas F. Walsh.
with whom she and the Vice Presi-
dent will dine. The ball has been ar
ranged by group of women who
have nearly all been more or less in
| timately associated with the old i'm
perial regime in Russia, and who have
been particularly grieved by the tragic
happening in the great empire within
! the last two years. This committee
! includes Mrs. George Bakhmeter, Mrs
Edward b. Mclean. Mrs. George
