Dance at MayfIoWer to Be
Planned Tomorrow.

Inc musical program for the Char
1ty inaugural ball to be held in the
Mayhower Hotel on the night of
| March 4 will be definitely arranged
tomorrow. when the musical COM
| mittee will meet with Mrs John
Allan Dougherty. chairman of the

the famous orchestras that are TO
play at the fete

the United States Navy Band, and w.
]. Stannard, leader Of the United
States Army Band. Roger Wolf Kahn
will not be able to attend, but he has
sent his program by a special rep
resentative
Flood of Requests.
The committee has been literally
besieged during the past few weeks
by personal calls. telephone messages
and letters from young people
throughout the country who expect
| to attend, asking that certain favorite
dance numbers please be played
| To grant every such request the
committee would have to arrange a
program that would run we'll past
breakfast time on March s.
All of these pleas, however. are to
be taken into consideration and in
view of the fact that there will be
five orchestras in as many different
bathrooms it is quite possible that
one may select any kind of dance
music he might prefer and be sure
1t would be found in one Of the pro-
urams at least The general idea
of the program will be planned to
meet such a situation.
Never before in the history of
Terpsichore, perhaps, has there been
an equal to the sight that will awai (
the guests of the Charity Inaugura!
ball. Every effort is being directed
toward making the affair the out
standing dancing event of the century
as well as the most brilliant social
fete blase Washington has ever beheld.
Tickets TO Be Sold.
The music, however, will not be
limited to the swinging crash of the
modern fox trot or the soothing mel
ody of the waltz. Before the dance
program begins one of the orchestras
will present concert program. This
program will begin at o'clock and
continue until 10. when the dancing
will begin.
This afternoon a group of debu-
tantes will station themselves in the
city's banks and offer tickets to the
ball for sale to the patrons of the
banks. Sale of tickets in this manner
will continue through the week. 1t
is believed that such a method Will
make Is possible for persons who
| otherwise might not find time to get
to one of the ticket places to get
their admission cards before the sup
ply Is exhaused.
