front side of the skirt In the back
just little to the right was an eight
inch panel of red velvet that looped
under the hem of the skirt. Around
her neck, Mrs. Longworth wore a
diamond chain ending in a Maltese
cross of large emeralds and dia-
monds. She wore emerald and dia-
mond ear rings and on her right
arm was an old-fashioned black
enamel bracelet. On the left arm
she wore a watch on a black silk
ribbon.
There were a number of stunning
gowns worn there that evening; also
several that looked like they came
"out Of the ark" such as one usual
ly sees at the SoutherrS Relief Ball,
generally worn by charming little
old aadies who go to parties about
once a year. The Congressional Club
parties are lovely parties; are real
functions given with much care and
thought for details. The decorations
are always charming and the sup
per elaborate. Mrs. Charles B. Ward
who is president OF the club. is very
handsome and always wears stun
ming clothes, and presides delight
fully.
At supper time the receiving party
gathered around a small table and
ate and Chatted together. Then the
Pennsylvania contingent who had
slipped away from the Pennsylva-
mia SOCiety's reception for awhile, |
stole the honor guests. the Mar

for a while. 1t was given at the

Speaking OF the Congressional

wife of the Representative from
Kentucky, has received a special
honor in being selected as one of
the six women appointed to serve
on the new executive committee of
the Democratic National Committee. |
Mrs. Cantrill rendered important DO
litical service during the recent |
campaign, but mainly as an assist
ant OF her husband, and 1t is siEnIfi- |
cant that in the list of appointments
George White, the chairman, SEEM |
tngly has paid special tribute to the
women strong in indirect as well as
direct influence in public affairs.
Tuesday evening was quite as
busy as Monday-all of the week
was as full, in fact. In addition to
the dinner parties galore, there was
the big ball given by Mrs. Charles
Boughton Wood for her niece, Miss
Antoinette Graves-Tony Graves, as
the young people call her - at
RausCher's, a lovely affair that kept
up until breakfast time; the last Of
a series of dances given by the navy
and Marine officers in Washington;
a huge party and a jolly one, and |
the Riding and Hunt Club musical
ride, drill and supper dance. Those |
are always such fun, those parties, |
though not so popular as usual right
now because of all the other things
that are going on. Nevertheless,
there were quite a few smart and
interesting people there, and I had
such good time I hated to leave
for the other parties. The music
was just fine.

The Remount Association had an
other of their series of informal
horse shows last evening at the
Riding Club and it was as interest
ing as the others were, which is
saying a whole lot. Those shows
are really splendid and attract large
and interesting crowds l was SUR
prised to learn, though, that If a
horse wins prize in one show he
cannot be shown in another. OF
course, I'm no authority on the sub
ject, but to me that seems to be
a mistake. For instance, "Jeff," Per-
shing's horse, which is always a
great attraction, won a ribbon at
the first show and cannot be shown
again. Many people would go there
inst to see Jeff. There is no charge
of admission for the shows.
The latest fad seems to be society
boxing matches. Anne Morgan put
one over. in New York with great
success, and now Baltimore has Just
