There are fifty-eight different

to describe the Charity Inaugural
, Ball, which last night drew ali of
Washington's Nelite-with the ex-
ception of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge-to the Mayflower Hotel.
This, the browning social event
of Inauguration Day, was from
every viewpoint a success. 1t was
estimated early today that almost
1000 men and women. representa-
tive of Washington and other
society, attended the ball. This
means that somewhat more than
$50, 900 is to be divided between
children's charities and the fund
for firemen's widows and orphans
in the District.
In Splendid Setting.
In a splendid new setting worthy
OF the occasion, the throng made
as merry as the limitations or
space would permit. Despite the
valiant services of the floor COM
mittee, the landing upon which the
tickets were collected was damned
throughout the evening.
An orderly description OF the ball

The streets were slick, and over
them skilled but nervous drivers

Police directed the automobiles away
from the one-way streets.

BITTER At
COOLIDGE :
Disappointed That President
Made No Reference to Debts
in Inaugural Speech
By FRANK e. MASON,
international News Service.

PARIS, March 5.-Disappointnlent
was voiced in the French press to-
day over the failure of President
Coolidge to make mention of inter
allied debts in his address in the in
auguration ceremonies in Washing
ton yesterday. ]"
For months Paris writer's had
been buoying up the hopes of their
readers for some reductions or a
partial cancellation of the French
debt owed to the United States. The
writer's had explained that it was
impossible for President Coolidge TO
help France on the dcht question
until the elections were over and the
Inauguration had taken place.
I'VE should mediate on President
Coolidge's silence rather than on
his words" the Gaulols commented
today, adding:
President Coolidge is not willing
to permit Uncle Sam to play the
role of a providential papa. But
why did he not mention the inter
national debts? Possibly he does
not wish to raise any Incompetent
sible polemics which would block
the way to the inevitable negotia-
tons. Coolidge knows that the allies
need new loans for the restoration
Of their finances"
The Oeuvre was bitter in it's COM
ment.
Coolidge and Dawes took the inau'
gural oath on a Bible" for moth
ing is ever done in the United States
without sanctimoniouS, preachy
trick" the newspaper said. There
is no inspiration in the Coolidge ad-
dress. There is not word on the
question of international debts to
satisfy the cupidity Of listening
crowds. Should we say we expected
anything else from Coolidge. NO.
