 necessary medium of exchange a what must be conceded was a yer, reasonable price. No loss was sus tained in the purchase, for the silve was immediately distributed in liquid ation of balances. The United State! as seller has suffered no loss, nor ha it made a gain; it occupies the posi- tion of having rendered an accomoda tion, that amounted to service of in estimable value. As the Director ot the Mint puts it, see his report fol 1920, p. 8:-"The Government vii neither gain nor lose by the sale anC repurchase of the silver" If, how ever, sale was made without repur- chase, it is not unlikely that the Gov ernment would sustain an actual loss, as it is doubtful whether the silver sold was accumulated at $1 per OF, or less. On the other hand, if it should collect the amount due and devote the proceeds obtained to purposes other than was contemplated, such action would constitute plain violation of the letter as well as the spirit of the Act, and would be a breach of faith which could not be justified. The pur- pose of the Act was that the Gov .ernment should neither gain nor lose by the transaction, and the purpose should be carried out; to do otherwise, would be misappropriating a fund which is in the nature of trust.
 THE POSITION OF THE
 AMERICAN MINER
 The principal loser in the transac- tion, however, and the one against whom an act of injustice would be per petrated that cannot be justified by any principal of business morals or governmental action, would be the American miner. The bare statement of the reasons should be sufficient to carry conviction.
 As an, act of war necessity, the door to the open market of the world was closed to his product by prohibiting export, fixing the price at an imposed limit and forbidding transactions above the set limit. For all practical purposes, his property was comman- deered to the service of the Govern ment. Not only was there an absence of objection to this necessary action, but the fullest cooperation possible was given the Government in. so do- ing, upon an express understanding, however, failure now to carry out which would amount to a repudiation that no one could or should seek to justify. Not alone would the miner have suffered the deprivation of the opportunity to conduct his business free from burdensome restriction dur ing, he war, but the release of the millions of ounces of silver from the Treasury cannot help but make itself felt n the exchanges of the world fo, an indefinite time in the future, until an absorption of the excess amount has taken place. ....

very thoroughly British even If she was

Of white taffeta brocaded in gold, with

She had a wreath of gold leaves In her

almost too kaleidoscopically brilliant.

olive drab gave tone to a company
made up of butterfly girls and women in
rainbow hues, and men recruited largely
from military and naval circles of many
nations, as represented in the diplomatic

contributed brilliant note of color, and
everywhere there were bright colored
ribbons and glittering orders to give
further gayety to the scene.

run so largely to black evening gowns
that they seem almost to have reversed
the period when it was the mems black

foil for their brilliance-that night blos-

attractive. Louisa Hoar was In white,
too, crepe embroidered In crystals and

white.
One OF the few black gowns was Mar

black lace, long and full as to the skirt,
with frill of black lace outlining the
bodice of silver cloth. Her hair was

skirted gown was Annette Ashfords, a
luscious affair made on picture lines OF
apricot taffeta. One agreed with the

her mother seem to swing back and forth

Ball at British Embassy.
Probably the peak of the weeks en-
tertaining was on Wednesday and its
climax was the ball at the British EN-
bassy In honor of the Admiral and the
officers of the Raleigh. 1t was busy
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Laugh1in had
entertained Admiral Pakenham at
luncheon-or did they call it breakfast? :?
Mrs. #. T. Gaff entertained at tea for
him. He himself gave brilliant din
ner on the Raleigh. He had the British
Ambassador and Lady Geddes. Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Coontz in fact, quite an Of
ficial dinner. And they had such a
good time that they were bit late
reaching the embassy for the reception
and ball. 1t was a peculiarly brilliant
scene because the masculine element
was almost entirely naval or military
and in the fullest of full dress uniform
with all the trimmin's. including several
bushels of decorations.
You may imagine that this ball at
the embassy was both picturesque and
