WELL. the midwinter ball last night
w was a great success, although lots
Of people turned up missing on accoun,
Of the bad weather and colds, and
grippe. and so on. But those VINO dlo
70 had an awfully good time, ana tne
small crowd gave you a much pettet
chance to see the gowns that people
had on. and there were some stunning
ones there, too. The decorations were
ferns and, as one young man expressed
Il, "some kind of pink flowered plants.
Ellen Mary Cassatt almost matched
them with her pink and silver brocade,
which was awfully good looking and
most becoming. Mrs. Henry Brinton
Coke wore a very striking gown OF a
sort of kings blue, with a long train.
EupeIia Cassatt looked very well IN
salmon pink brocade, and Mrs. Billie
Clothier wore a simple gown OF dark
blue, with a short skirt.
Margaret Berwird was IN white
satin, and Betty Welsh. who, seemed
10 be having q glorious time, also wore
white. Mrs. Berwind had on 5eauti-
full gown of blue and silver brocade'
which, with her silvery hair, was very
stunning. The gown was made with a
court train, and she wore silver slip
pers. Tibby Taylor's dress was also
a brocade of lovely sort of turquoise
blue and silver. Mrs. Billie Forbes
looked very well in black, and 1T was
awfuly attractive with her black hair
and dark eyes. I don't know when
I've heard an orchestra so extra peppy,
and the fact that so many people had to
stay away made the dancing much
easier and less crowded than in former
years.
