One may have wondered why the
ladies who were running it chose to
announce this years ball for the
benefit Of the Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital as the wei
come Home" ball But having
Eamed il, they had to live up to the
name, and they certainly did their
best to turn their ball Wednesday
night into a great and joyous
hurTah for returned soldiers. 1t
seems quite possible that when they
first named it the projectors of the
Welcome Home Ball had a faint
hope that 1t might be a welcome
home to the President and Mrs. Will
son.
You see the Eye, Ear and Throat
Hospital had been one of Mrs. Will
sons pet Charities--even back in the
days when she was still Mrs. Nor
man Gait. II memory serves, she
was chairman of the ladies' board
about the time she married the
President. Certainly she was on the
bOIrd, if not at the head of it. And
since she has been in the White
House she has kept up a very lively
interest in its affairs.
Last season it gave its ball early
the first big ball of the season. on
Thanksgiving eve. In fact il was
the first big ball given in Washing
ton after the United States entered
the war. And. as this year. Mrs
Woodrow Wilson's name headed the
list Of PntrOnesses. Moreover, the
President and Mrs. Wilson were

young girl guests it would be inhu-

gave up the girls.
TO a suggestion that with the con-
slant round of dinners that were be-
ing given in their honor. ii would
seem more reasonable for him to be
''dined out" than danced out" he
responded blithely that dining was
more or less a habit with him, and
while he tried to indulge it only in
moderation. he really missed 1t II he
didn't dine at least once a day. That
night they were dining at home-al
most the only night they did-eXcept
