BOTH BALLS ARE
LARGELY ATTENDED.
II HERE were quite a few people
at both balls I haven't seen
u for some time. One of my
dancing partners at Thursdays ball
pointed out a man to a young
girl with me. as the best
looking man in the Marine
Corps" and added that he was a
charming young widower with only
one child. and SO forth. / looked
and IL was no less a person than
Dave Barry. Jack Gray. another

He Is going down to his home in

Virginia Eckels, now Mrs. Robert
James Malone; the first time I've

interested in meeting Jack Belts
fnancee. Miss Rosamond Starr who,
with Mr.. Belt attended both parties.
She has been visiting Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Cary Grayson and -. W.'s"
mother, Mrs. John Pryor Tarvin.
She looks like she is awfully nice
and certainly she has a splendid
memory for she has met many
strangers while visiting here and
she seems never to forget anyone.
An engagement of great interest
here is that Of Count de Castelfane,
son of Count Boni de Castellane. of
Paris, to Mile. Paternotre. daughter
of NJ. Jules Paternotre. former Am
bassador from France to this coun-

MISS WHITING MUCH
ENTERTAINED IN PARIS. q
Frances Whiting. the beautifV

Eveleth E. Whiting. who has been
visiting her uncle and aunt. Mr. and
| Mrs. Laurence Benet, in Paris, for a
year. was en.ertaire ed frequently by
the Duchess de Taileyrsnd. who was
just lovely to her. Frances spent
! many a weekend at the beautiful
estate of the De Tsllexrands outside
of Paris. and little bird whispered
to me the other day-one just back
| from. over there-that one of the
! duchess sons was really quite smit-
! ten with Frances. I don't know
! how he could help IT, for she is
l truly beautiful and as nice and as
clever as she is good looking. Fran
ces sailed for home last Wednesday
and will soon be here now. She is
| all dated up, / hear, already for a
number of functions after her ar
! rival-for the next Bachelors. in
Baltimore, for example.
Some persons who will form the
cast of celebrities at the ball have
revealed the characters they will
represent Princess Francesca Ros-
. pigliosi, who has had much to do in
staging that animated historical
signed after one of Brownings IA
miliar feminine characters. Mr..
! Lloyd Warren will impersonate
( Dante. and as such has gone a little
further back into Italian history for
his inspiration but that is historic
license permitted under the circum-
| stances. s..-
SEASON OPENED
FOR HUNT CLUB.
tTHANRSGIvING Day saw the
first meet OF the new Washing
ton and Maryland hunt club.
That, Of course, Isn't the real name
Of the club. They haven't named Il
as yet. but as the organizers come
principally from the District and
Maryland, the name comes as'nesr
describing IL as anything would.
Come to think OF Il, though. to
really describe Il one would have
to include Virginia also. as a num-
Der of Virginians are Interested and
several have been concerned in the
Organization plans
