as well as several delightful musicales

species OF indoor sport during Lent
several things stand out as par
ticularly noteworthy and chief among
them Is the reception which the Army
and Navy Club gave for General
Pershing. This was a gathering OF
the clans both of the Army and the
Navy. between 1000 and 5000 strong.
and 1t was reminiscent of the old
time Army and Navy receptions at
the White House from the spirit of
cordiality and good fellowship which
prevailed.
IL was a sort of reunion. too. this
Washington's Birthday party, for
many officers came from a long dis
tance especially to be present and l
heard one man after another exclaim
that he was meeting friends he had
not seen in years. The guests were
limited to members of the club and
the ladies of their families-but the
crowd was SO great that one sus-
poets the families" were stretched a
bit. Be that as II may. II was a no.
table assemblage and a happy hearted
one. with the olive drab rubbing ell

PROPHEsYING A
GAY WEEK.

Although there will be no pomp
and ceremony connected with the in
auguration. there will be much gay
ETY. this week. for there will be a
great deal of private entertaining
and many large dinners. In place OF
the inaugural ball, so conspicuous a
feature Of past celebrations to well
come n new President, the Child We'll
fare ball will offer opportunity to
enjoy a really brilliant social event
This ball, to be given on the evening
OF March 4, will serve the double
purpose of aiding a great charity
and of bringing together representa-
ives Of diplomatic. official and resi-
dent society to welcome the many
distinguished visitors who will be
ready to enjoy dance after what
probably will be the most quiet day
in the history of all the twenty eight
previous inaugurations.
All the boxes for the ball have been
sold and the demand for tickets from
out OF town has been steady The
tickets are on sale 1T all the hotels.
Under the direction Of Mrs John AL
ian Dougherty, who is chairman Of
the ball committee the arrangements
that contribute to the success of the
evening have been cacried out in a
way that will assure the touch Of
novelty and charm quite unattai ma 5le

This week the new Administration
will have things all its own way. but
during the last week entertaining for
the departing officials has been the
order Of the day. Each day has seen
a party for one or another OF them,
sometimes several together. Some of
the retiring officials are receiving
handsome gifts from their associates

too, are coming in for their share of

both handsome and beautiful. 1t was

made are unusually interesting. The
