Mrs. Gay Looms as
Leader in Social Set.


Leader in Social Set.
Senator and Mrs. Edwin j. Gay, of
Louisiana, also are settled already;
but they, too, were connected with
the present Congress. the, Senator
having been elected to fill out the
uneXpired term OF the late Senator
Broussard. which runs until 1921. The
Gays have been made much of since
they came TO Washington, and I ven
ture to predict that Mrs. Gay will be
a leader in the official set. She is
young, chic, good looking and has.
what ! once heard aptly termed, a
"'winsome approach
Senator Gay comes into politics by
inheritance. His father, who was at
one time the richest man in Louisiana,
was in Congress for some years. He
was a brilliant man and very much
in demand but, by reason of some
curious paralytic affection. he was
unable to lift his arms above his
waist. Consequently. when he dined
out he used always to be accompanied
by a man servant. who stood behind
his chair and assisted him with his
meal.
Senator and Mrs. Gay have taken
the apartment at the Connecticut
which was formerly occupied by Sen
ator and Mrs. Charles 3. Henderson,
the Hendersons moving into a house
in Connecticut avenue.

ago. FOR many years Miss Lee stood
with Miss Mamie Randolph Heth.
president of the society, in the re-

the happiest features OF the ball. On
Monday evening her place was taken

daughter Of Gen. Albert Sidney John

Extra Session Of
Congress ExDected.

The Sixty-fifth Congress goes out on
the fourth of March, but so far moth
ing definite has been settled about
when the new Congress VIII convene.
In the natural course Of events it
would not meet until next December.
but nowadays events may be trusted
not to axe their natural course and
il is almost. foregone conclusion
that there will be an extra session.
Probably it will be called as soon as
is practicable after the end of the
present session.
With spring coming on and a Wash
ington summer staring them in the
face. it seems probable that the new
Senators and Congressman will, for
the most part, put of seeking per-
manent homes until next season and
that their wives will either remain
al home or be content for the present
with quarters at one or another of
the hotels Senator-elect Henry W
keyes CT New Hampshire and Mrs.
Reyes are an exception to this rule.
They already have leased the john
ston home. Newlands street, Chevy
Chase, and will take possession on
their arrival in Washington. The
house has recently been occupied b.
Major and Mrs. Horace ". Armstrong,
who have returned to their home in
Chicago, now that Major Armstrong
has been released from the service.

Southern Relief Was

The big cnarity ball Of last week
was the Southern Relief ball, and it
well, it was A typical Southern Relief
ball as to arrangements. The crowd
the largest OF the season, with the
possible exception Of the Russian bail
was, however, not quite so typ
icaily Southern Relief crowd. &"
One noted a few quaint costumes
which had evidently been brought out
+ camphor for the occasion, a. well as
lovely old lace and old-fashioned fam
lily Jewels, and here and there one
could pick out an elderly gentleman, a
quaint little old lady. or a rosy slip

one ball year, and that tho Southern
Relief. Confederate uniforms, pathet-
ically few nowadays. also gave q
touch.of traditional atmosphere to the
picture, but on the whole the assem-
blage was very much like the usual
charity ball crowd.
a seated supper was served in truly
hoSpitable Southern fashion: but.
truth TO tell. everybody seemed 20 be
possessed with a desire to SUP. and so
large was the thronS that even with
the best Of management everybody
could not be accommodated. The over
Flow took refuge in a certain white
tiled restaurant near by where, in the
wee small hours gay parties in even
inE dress may frequently be seen rub
bling elbows with workm men and shar

cakes.

read a most amusing paragraph
about Miss Bones recently in one of
the weekly publications. II stated
that she had returned TO the White

chatelainc. and was giving series of
dinner parties. Frequently entertain
ing the members of Mrs. Wilson's
family as the Mistress of the White
House was accustomed to DO when
she was at home" OF course, there
isn't a word of truth in this nonsense.
Miss Bones hasn't been at tho White
House since some weeks before the
President and Mrs Wilson sailed for
Europe, and probably won't come
back TO Washington until they do al
