Kenmore Ball Monday
Evening Attracting Many.


The list of guests who will attend
the Kenmore ball Monday evening is
particularly interesting, for among them

the hoXholderS for the ball, belongs in
this group, as do Mrs. Iven Jones, whose
late husband was military attaches at
Bern. Switzerland, and her twin

Washington Lewis and Col. Lewis. Of
q collateral line is Mr.. Fielding Lewis
. Marshall, direct descendant of Fielding
Lewis of Wyanoke, Va, nephew of
Col. Fielding of Kenmore. Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall will be guests at the ball.
In keeping with the historic nature
Of the cause for which the ball is being
given, many of the costumes to be worn
will be ancestral heirloomS from Co
lonial and Revolutionary days and in
their authentic beauty they will add
much to the picturesqueness Of the oc-
caSion. Striking gowns of that period
will be worn by members of the two
societies of Colonial Danes, who are
taking lively interest in this brilliant
event, which opens the December calen-
dar, and will occupy prominent boxes.
