PARIS. jan 6.
w nth the festivities of the h0li-
NV days a thing of the past
Parisians are turning their
thoughts to the Riviera, though the
thes dansants, dinner dances, theater
parties and charity balls seem to have
taken on so much new life within the
last fortnight that there is no stopping
them, and the attractions at Monte
Carlo, Nice and Cannes have not so
far been alluring enough to cause
Parisians to do more than think or
talk of going later.
The charity ball that promises to be
the most interesting of the season will
be given on January II. so the great
est exodus for the south will not take
place until after that date. This big
Franco-A American ball is being organ
lied by two former American women
who have married into prominent
French families, Nine. Taufflieb (Julia
Cetlin), wife of the French General
ard Senator from Alsace, and the
widow Of Mr.. Trenor Park. and Nine.
Paul Dupuy (Ielen Brown). wife OF
the Senator. AS both women are
prominent in French society and
equally we'll known among the Ameri-
cans the ball will draw an exceedingly
smart set.
The charity organizations which viii
benefit by the event are two deserving
bodies which have been maintainej
largely through the individual support
of these two Americans. both of whom
were active in various relief works dur
ing the war. and have since devoted
themselves to the Oeuvre Sociale Fran
co-Americaine, which helps the poor
families of the 18th and goth Arrondisse-
ments of Paris, and the Societe de
Charlie Maternelle as their postwar
work.
Military Bands to Play.
The ball Is to be given In the salons
of the Ministry of Finance in the Louvre
and Is bound to be a most gorgeous
spectacle, owing to the fact that these
salons, which rarely have been opened
to the public except on very special oc-
casions, are considered the handsomest
OF those of any of the Government
buildings In Paris. The Garde Repub-
licaine will play throughout the evening
In the big hall at the stairway of honor
in that wing of the Louvre. and there
will be other military bands in the
various halls. while jazz bands will fur
nish the music for the dancing.
The President of the French Republic
and Nine. Millerand have given their
support to the ball, and the American
Ambassador. Mr.. Myron T. Herrick, IS
acting as the president of honor. The
committee of honor. including Marshal
Foch. NJ. Leon Bourgeois. President of
the Senate: M. Raoul Peret, President
OF the Chamber of Deputies; NJ. Aristide
BRAND. President of the Conseil; NJ.
Barthou. M. Marraud. NJ. Doumer and
M. Leredu, Ministers Of the various de-
partments of the Government and Gen.
Berdoulat. the Military Governor CT
Paris. have all taken tickets and have
given their promise to be present Prac
tically all OF the foreign Ambassadors
and their wives are on the committee
of patronage. Because of the great
interest that Is being taken by the most
distinguished persons OF France, all OF
the dignitaries OF Europe now in Paris
will be present. and 1t promises a scene
well worth seeing.
