flood of music throughout the evening,
two Orchestras having been engaged
for the affair."
The class of 1928, which will be
hosts to the Seniors and Alumni and
a few undergraduates, is making ev-
cry effort to produce winning affair.
This class came into the University
just after the war and the men have
proved to comprise a very excellent
group.
In attempting to produce something
which would be different, the con-
clusiOn was reached that two orches-
tras should be hired. Consequently,
the Original Six" and George Mad
den's Orchestra" have been instruct
ed to appear at the hotel, the night of
the affair, with their finest sextets.
The latter orchestra will play the
grand march, which will be started
promptly at 8 o'clock. The dance will
continue until two o'clock, it was
stated, yesterday.
The duBarry room of the hotel will
be engaged and at the intermission it

cHERRY,TREEs BLOOMING.
Others Around Speedway Expected
to Blossom Soon.

The advent Of spring with its past
week Of warm weather finds the Jap
arese cherry trees around the tidal
basin in full bloom. and with favor
able weather those around the drive
way which circles the point are ex-
pected to be blossoming in about two
weeks.
There are twenty-eight varieties of
these trees in Potomac Park. and
some bloom from one to two weeks
later than the others. This accounts
for the difference in the time the
trees blossom. The late blooming
trees are considered the most beau
tiful.
Tourists who pass through Wash
ington on the way to their homes
from winter resorts in the south have
been known to postpone their trips
to enable them to witness the trees
in bloom-one of the things about
Washington which has become ma
