a nd nf
fact 1t was a ball; not a dance.
More than 700 guests were present

and really lots of fun. 1t was

programs a nuisance; you are al

and men have great difficulty finding
their partners.
The Geddes party was preceded by
number of dinner parties, among
those entertaining being the one for
which Gen. Bethel, militay attache
of the embassy; Air Commodore
Charlton and the naval attache. Capt.
Blake acted as hosts at Rauschers 8.

guests-before the ball, the guests
going on later to the embassy.

dance in December in compliment to
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Frederick Bohen, of Des
Moines, who will come the middle
OF this week to be with them for a
month or so. Mr.. and Mrs. Syl-
vanus Stokes attended the ball
too. They gave a dinner re-
Gently for the Argentine Ambassa-
dor. That, too, was followed by
dancing. The Stokes party was very
much the same crowd as belongs to
the smart One Hundred Club which
