With Victory Ball.
THE POLO BALL hal first to
Be Transferred from the VIII.
lard to the City Club on account
Of the fire which put the hall room
Of the hotel out Of commission
and then IL was postponed on ac-
count Of the death Of Major Gen
eral McAadrew. II IL. however.
set for wednesday evening: and.
despite the postponsment. lids ta'r
to BE- an exceedingly festive occs.

Hard upon its heels--on Friday
evening. May IL. to BE- sxsct--wil!
come the fancy bell out 1T Ward
man Park Hotel. which Is being
organixed-liks the series OF aft.
ernoon dances which has been 60
ing on at Rauscher's all week
to swell the George Washington
Victory Memorial fund. This. too,
was postponed, but more from a dc.
s:.s to gather In some Of the visi.
tors from other cities who are as.
semblins for the horse show than
for any other reason. II will be
a fitting close to the opening day
of the horse show and. since it is
being given under the smartest
patronage will probably bring out
as brilliant an attendance AS any
benefit ball Of the yea,
TOO bad. however. thA' there
should be such a c!uttering
up Of the calendar that day. Thurs
day is the evening selected for tt
presentation Of Peg de Mon
Coeur"--doesn't that sound funny
"a French version Of the familiar
Peg o. My Heart" which is to
be put on At the Masonic Tem.le
auditorium by a group OF young
people who are clever at theatrica!s
for the benefit Of disabled French
soldiers.
And that's the evening, too, that
Mrs. Walsh has selected for a
moo Might cruise down the Po-
tomac.
The pity Of il 10 that Mrs. Walsh
is inviting the very people who
are interested in the Victory ball
and in the performance Of Peg"
and in the horse show: and they
are tearing their hair, for they
don't want to miss any Of 'em.
Miss Louisa Hoar, the talented
daughter Of Mrs. Frederick II. Gil.
lett. has the leading role in Peg"
and. imagine. IL rather running
things since she has had q lot Of
experience with the clever Vincent
Club shows in Boston. Wilmot
Lewis, the London Times repre-
sentative in Washington: Miss
Elizabeth Hanna, Miss Anna Mont
gomery, Mira. John Biddle. Christ
ian Herter. V. de Sokolovski. and
Lynch Luquer are others In the
cast.
Mrs. walsh has chartered the
steamship Majestic for her party,
and the plan Is for the vessel to
cast off At 5 o'clock. returning 10
its pier along about 12:ao o'clock.
Supper will be served aboard, and
there will be dancing, music. and
all sorts Of allurements.
MRS WALSH, by the way,
would seem TO have con.
tributed more 10 the say.ty Of
the nations capital than any one
person in the last year. Early last
spring she inausurated . series
Of moonlight dances in the roof
garden which she had built atop
her big house in Massachusetts,
avenue; and she has been giving
informal dances on Saturday eve.
ninss all through the winter. In
addition to two big balls. one for
Princess Bertha Cantacuxene and
the other for Miss Helen Leseuer.
she has had q srist Of important
dinners and a dinner dance or
two. And, moreover, she has
made q practice OF being at home
after s o'clock pretty nearly every
afternoon. with an orchestra play.
ing in the ballroom and every
thing all set" for dancing. so 1t
has been quite tho thing all winter
to drop IN At Mrs. Walsh's in the
afternoon for a round or two and
