and probably the gayest week. At
the embassies and legations dinner
parties were given very generally
either on Christmas night or Christ

For the rest everybody in Washing

of the dances have been preceded by

Monday night and came to a brilliant
close last evening with the annual
Christmas ball at Rauscher's for the
benefit OF the Children's Country
Home.
It's curious how each of the long
list OF charity balls, given at more or
less the same places, attended by
more or less the same people, man
ages to have a certain distinctive
flavor OF it's own. The Christmas ball
is by way of being the "smartest"
benefit of the season and perhaps the
best dressed" of all the balls. IT
never brings out crush like the
Southern Relief ball or the Children's
Hospital ball, which from time imme
mortal has been known to Washing
ton as the Charity ball, which is the
reason, perhaps, that the ladies wear
their loveiiest frocks and their hand
soonest jewels. Moreover, it is always
one OF the merriest balls of the year
because it always attracts so many of
the lads and lasses home from school
and college.

NOT EXACTLY LIKE
THE GOOD OLD DAYS,

Enough going on to be sure, to keep
one from any possibility OF boredom. But
Vet it's far cry from the good old days,
when the President received all and
sundry at the White House. when every
Cabinet hostess held brilliant reception
and had all the pretty girls Of her ac'
quaintance assisting her, when every
inatron with any pretense to position
or influence received more or less in
oily. and when every man who
counted at all In the social world but
toned himself into his Sunday clothes
and went calling. Everybody who
had any excuse for doing 80 wore
uniform, from the diplomats--who
opened the day by calling at the
White House and then went on to

tons gave an air of pageantry to the

BALL FOR BENEFIT OF
CHILDREN's HOSPITAL

No matter how many calls on the
purse may be made each year in
the name of charity there is no
danger that the Children's Hospital
will fail to meet with generous sup
port. This great philanthropy makes
a peculiar appeal to public SYM
pathy and the annual ball is sure
to be great success. This sea-
SON despite the extraordinary num-
her of dances which have marked
the social calendar, the keenest in
terest has been manifested in the
ball, which will take place Mon
day evening. anuary 10. at the New

which includes Mrs. Thomas r. Mar

NO NEW YEAR
BREAKFASTS LISTED.

This year. of course, there can be
no New Year breakfast. as Secretary
Colby is in South America. And
equally. of course, there will be no
sort of function at the White House.
Even did President Wilson'S health
permit such an exertion, he would
not be inclined to revive in this, the
last year of the administration, a
custom which he discarded on coming
to the White House. 1t was pictur-
esque. this custom Of the Presidents
sk aking hands with all corners from
the representatives of the sister
powers of the United States and the
highest officials on down to the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker. 1t was. moreover.
typically American in spirit, sur
vival of day when life in Wash
ington was simpler and the Chief
Executive could keep in closer touch
with his people. SO there was gem raj
rcgret--and some wrath--when the
historic New Year reception was con-
signed to oblivion by a President who
was no respector Of precedents--and
now one wonders hopefully will
President Harding revive the CUSTOM
s.
1t was really the war which gave
the coup de grace to the official cele-
bration of New Year Day in Wash
ington, for while our men were light
ing overseas big official receptions
did not seem to be in the best OF
taste. One might look for a renais-
sance of the cuStom, now that peace
is here, but, no, the Bakers ana the
Daniels are apparently the only
Cabinet homes where there will be
New Year parties. They even kept
alive the custom of being officially
Tut the war, for their receptions were
more particularly for the officers of
the army and navy who CHANGED to
be on duty in Washington--and en-
tertaining for the soldiers and sailors
was another pair of shoes.
Mrs. Baker has decided against
making a formal function of her re-
ception. and consequently Will not

ing-rooms. 1t was there, you prob
ably remember, that Mrs. Haywood s
daughter, Miss Doris Haywood. was
married to DR.. Howard Hume several
years ago and where she had had
her coming-out party season or
two before.
Although Mr.. and Mrs, Brown have
but recently come to Washington to
live, they have made many friends
here, and the marriage of their
daughter to Mr.. King is an event of
no little interest. She's a charming
girl and very generally beloved. and

heart for her on account OF the way
she has stuck to her work among the
cOnvaleSCents at Walter Reed Hos
pjital, now that the war is over and
so many people have forgotten that
there was a war. Mr.. King is a Cali
fornian by birth, but is now making
his home in New York. He is a
member OF an importing Arm which
has interests in Central America, and
shortly after the New Year he and
his bride will sail for Guatemala to

GAYETIES SCHEDULED

New Year Eve will have it's wonted
measure of gayety--and perhaps q
little bit more. The ball which Mr.

give wonderful parties. Many OF the
diplomates will undoubtedly be
among the guests invited to watch
