of entertainments already given and

Longworth and Mrs. Longworth
were among the first of the official
set to open house in Washington
this season.
Senator and Mrs. James Wads-
worth, of New York, were second to
the Longworths in opening their
Washington home and they have en-
tertained more already this season
than they had for the past three
years. When the father of Mrs.
State John Hay, was in the Cabinet

as Alice Hay, was one of the reign
ing bellies of society here, and after
her marriage to Jimmie" Wads-
worth. son of the upstate New
York Republican Representative, be-
came noted among the charming
matrons. when her husband was
elected to the United States Senate.
But with the coming of the new set
with the invasion of Wilson into
office she gave way to the new clique
which the change brought with the
administration. Now that these are
to retire, the Wadsworths are again

Noel Ball
Real Event
NoUeL Idea to Raise Funds
Carried Out
Well.

THE debutantes were all very
much in evidence at the Noel
i House ball Wednesday night,
the unique affair was dubbed The
Christmas Advertising Ball" Who
ever thought of the idea was surely
clever, for it furnished not only a
plot" one might say, for the ball,
but brought in funds for the Noel
House aside from the sum raised by
the purchase of tickets and boxes.
For you see, the firms and busi-
nesses and commodities advertised
at the ball by costumes or signs all
paid the Noel House for the adver-
tisement they thus received.
These things were advertised by
signs around the wall and by some
of the guests, but chiefly by a pag-
cant of handsome young girls in
picturesque array, each adorned
with a sign or two. The particle
pants wore long flowing pink dra-
peries of soft crepe. They made a
tour of the ballroom in a double
procession to appropriate music and
then mingled with the dancers, some
of them retaining their colorful cos
tunes.
Certain nationally known COM
modities and firms were represent
ed by maids and matrons in appro-
pirate dress-Mrs. Charles B. How
ry and Mrs. Charles Wilson, for in
stance. wore bright colored kimonos
and stood for an Oriental house
which Is known from coast TO
coast-the fancy costumes adding
no little to the colorful effect of the
scene.
For the beneft of the settlement
other patronesses wore the names
OF the modistes from whom they had
purchased their gowns. An H street
merchant contributed 800 for the
privilege OF having his name ap-
pear in gold letters across the front
of a superb gown of fame colored
velvet worn by Mrs. c. c. Calhoun,
who organized the entertainment;
and a Connecticut avenue firm re-
eeived the same advertising from
one Of its patrons, who wore a
handsome black gown.
A dance especially for the debu-
tantes. in which most of this seea-
sons buds took part, wearing the
frocks IN which they made their
debut. was also included in the pro-
gram. The buds, with their part
ners, had the floor to themselves for
one whole dance. And don't you
know there were so many of them
the floor didn't appear at all empty
And Miss Pauline Gran, a charming
young Washington girl who Is go
ing on the professional stage. gave
an interpretive dance which showed
great artistic ability and brought
round after round Of applause.
