DEBU TAN TES
FROLIC AT
FANCY BALL
Fete Given by Mrs. Flea
nor McParlin Davis to
Present Daughter

Gay creatures of fact and fancy
met last night in the familiar
Mayflower ballroom at the fancy
ball given by Mrs. Eleanor Nc
Parlin Davis to present her
daughter, Miss Catherine McPar-
lin Davis. The daughter OF the
late General McParlin, U. s. A.,
who was medical adviser to Presi-
dent Grant. Mrs. Davis spent
her own girlhood in Washington
and wished to bring out her
daughter, educated abroad, in her
old home. She has many friends
here who are giving her daugh-
ter warm welcome and q few
of her own contemporaries were
present last evening. For the
most part, however, It was
young peoples party, with most
of the debutantes present and
many buds of last season and
next.
One end Of the ballroom had
been transformed into a flower
decked drawing room and there
the debutante received with her
mother. Miss Davis had chosen a
Venetian costume perhaps the
most becoming ever devised for
woman. 1t was fashioned OF black
taffeta, with close fitting bodice
and with the skirt banded in sill
yer embroidery and lace and built
out over wide hoops. A white
wig, and black tricorne hat,
with lace veil looped under the
chin and falling to the waist at
the back, completed an enchant.
ing picture.
Mrs. Davis wore gown of fine
black lace over silver on modern
lines--in effective contrast with
the garb of the 1870 period worn
by Mrs. Morris Soper, who stood
with her in line for part Of the
evening. This costume of black
silk--with a hustla-Was authentic
in every detail even to the black
feathered bonnet. the wee fan OF
mother of pearls and the small
black lace parasol dear to our
grandmothers.
A score OF enchanting figures
stand out in ones memory of the
wfnsome debutants group Miss
Marion Jardine, daughter of the
Secretary OF Agriculture as a
Spanish senorita, wrapped in an
embroidered Spanish shawl and
with a high comb in her hair.
Miss Faith Phillips as Night, sill
yer stars and crescent moons
decking her short black satin
frock. Miss Elise Alexander, a
handsome Russian peasant maid,
and Miss Frances Virginia Wag-
gaman, a Russian lady of the
court circle, with ieweled kakosh-
mix topping off her green ieweled
gown.
Coming : on from the Pan
American, where she had ap-
peared in recital, Nine. Sofia del
Campo, made an effective entrance
with a group of Washington
friends. The costume, which had
been made by famous Paris de-
signer especially for her concert,
was very much in the picture
a graceful gown of the second
empire period of white satin and
fine creamy lace-and she wore
her dark hair In the familiar
curls made famous by Eugene.
Miss Peggy Tyner in the garb
of a Chinese maiden. Miss Susan
Guigard, as Joan of Arc--all in
a coat of silver mail-Miss Anna
Robbins as q balett dancer and
Miss Julia Robbins in boys dress
were others glimpsed in the color
full company.
Mrs. Davis had entertained at
dinner before the dance for the
group of ladies who assisted her.
After midnight there was a
seated supper, the guests linger-
ing afterward to dance we'll into
the small hours of the morning.

Latina M eri an music,
played a return engagement
last night, when a gala re-
cital was given IN honor
Of the delegates to the In
ternational Conference OF
American States on Concil-
iation and Arbitration. The
numbers chosen were the
ones for whose repetition
there had been the greatest
demand. The program was
presented before such a dis
tinguished audience as can
be assembled only in a great
capital and went out to a
tremendous radio audience
over the most complete ra-
dio hook-up ever turned over
to the Pan American Union.
Memorable Event
Consequently the concert, for
which DR.. Leo S. Rowe, director
general of the Pan American
Union, was one of the memor-
able events of the program of
entertainment for the visitors
from Latin America. Not only
was there a thrill to the music,
but the fete had q beautiful
setting in the Hall of the
Americas and the audience was
representative in happy proper
ton of diplomatic, official and
resident society.
Guest Artists
The program was presented by
the United Service Orchestra and
three guest artists, Nine. Sofia
del Campo, Chilean soprano;
Dyla Josetti, pianist, who halls
from Brazil, and Ennio Bolognini,
Argentine 'cellist-all internation-
ally known. Not only has Nine.

gave a charming recital last
winter at the home of the Chilean
Ambassador and Nine. Davila.
She was a picturesque person
last evening in a white gown
of the period OF the Empress
Eugene.
The European nations were
notably represented at this fete
for the delegates of the Amer.
icas. Among those in the diplo-
matte group were the ambassa-
dor of Peru. DR.. Velarde; the
Ambassador OF Mexico and Nine.
