 Washington, December 24.-What are Washington's official and visit ing women wearing at the height of this, the greatest social season the capital has ever knownY The ques- ton has come from everywhere. And so have the gowns. From the far cor ners of the earth they have arrived to make My Lady beautiful.
 As good looking a gown as I have seen any place was the one worn by Mrs. Harding at a dinner this week. She designed it herself too. It was fashioned of heavy soft black satin which had almost the sheen of chit- fon velvet, made on the gracefully draped lines which Mrs. Harding af- fects, and long strands of brilliants, falling from one shoulder and caught at the waist line by jeweled orna- ment, provided the only garniture. The flowing sleeves were of chiffon, with lines of brilliants giving the ef- feet of rain, and there was narrow panel train bloused bit at the waist line Mrs. Harding had dia- mond pins in her hair and wore q handsome diamond pendant in addi- tion to the black velvet band with it's diamond slide which she always wears about her throat.

Fined For Violating Ordinance

j. Fulton Van Voorhis, of 320 Webb
Place, was cited to appear in NUM-
cipal Court last week for driving his
automobile through the Labor parade
on Tuesday evening, in direct viola
tion of the city ordinance prohibiting
such action. At a hearing in the
municipal court Saturday morning he
was fined $5 and costs by Judge
Bolton Van Voorhis claimed he was
not aware that a parade was in pro-
gress, Notwithstanding the fact that
hundreds Of men, led by the Buckeye
Band were marching four abreast
around the square, and all street cars
and numberless automobiles were
waiting for it to pass. This semi
blind gentleman will in the future
probably keep his eyes open and
watch out for future public demon
strations.
