MILITARY BALL AT ARMORY WAS
 GREAT SUCCESS
It. Col. Ives Presents Prizes For Excellence In Marks
 manship

The biggest military ball held in
 this section of Connecticut during the
 past ten years was that arranged in
 honor of Major General Lucien P
 Burpee, president of the Military
 Emergency Board of Hartford, and
 held in the armory last night. Fifteen hundred persons re1in-
 quished tickets of invitation at the
 door and it is estimated that fully 500 additional guests in uniform were present to witness the regimental re-
 view commanded by Colonel Stephen
 P. Cronan, commanding the Fourth Infantry, c. N. G., in Fairfield coun- ty.
 Prizes for regimental, company. team and individual marksmanship excellence were presented by Lieut. Colonel J. Moss Ives of Danbury,
 member of the Military Emergency Board.
 Grizzled veterans of the Civil War, those wearing the blue and gray of
 the Spanish War, and overseas sol diers and sailors responded to the invitations of Col. Cronan. Deputa- tions from the Russian High Com
 mission of Military Experts who yet remain in Bridgeport and from F.s5- ris Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, also appeared in full uniform, making | the spectacle presented at the salute to the flag one of unique character. General Burpee, having found il 1 impossible to. reach Bridgeport in time l for the event., was represented by 1 Col 1ves who came from Danbury with some difficulty over the snow | bound roads. The battalion move i ments and regimental review closing i with retreat are said to have been ably executed in the limited space i provided after the guests had been l assembled.
 Among the military guests were i Major D. Sampson and Captain Mont l gomery, c. s. G.. New Haven, and ! Capt. Samuel Beardsley, member of 1 the Governors Foot Guard, Bridge 1 port; William M. Barnum, represent l ing Elias Howe Jr. Post, No 3, yer erans of the Civil War; General Baldwin; First Lieut.. M. Egeroff and 1 others of the Russian High Commis- 1 sion; Commander B. Smith, Spanish 1 War Veterans; Capt. E. Norman Hall l Veterans of Foreign Wars; Capt. Al | bert E. Merritt, American Legion
 Capt. L. J. Bray, former commander l of the Coast Artillery Corps, c. N. G. 1 Mayor Wilson appeared informally
 and highly complimented the local officers for the spirit which brough,
 out such a large number of the men. 1 One of the marked results of the
 affair was the mingling of all classes | of society in the dance which follow i of the review which is held to be 2 forerunner of community spirit that
 may be built up by semi tior
 of the State Guard under plans lad by it's district commander. Other 1 military-social events, including an | officers and non-commissioned off
 cers' dance are said to be scheduled for the near future.
 The armory will again take on that bright light which for many years has 1 been dimmed, if last nights ball is to be taken as a criterion of future events.

A woman who is the possessor of good looking demi-tail1eur is indeed the envy of her friends. Of course, to make it good looking, or better still smart looking, it should be a combi- nation of simplicity of line and ex- cellence of material.
 What, then. could more completely fill the role than this frock of old blue crepe de chine. It is of the popular chemise type loosely gird1ed with en- broidered ribbon tied simply at the back? A bit of the ribbon is also found on the sleeves. Box plaits, the joy of modfstes everywhere just now, form the bodice and overskirt
