time. when he entertained last

the commandant, officers and midShip-

have been played In late years. Also
there was q return to the charming
fornlalfty of dance cards, tied with the
national colors of the Chilean republic
and engraved on the cover with the
occasion, the place and the date. There
was also conspicuous sign, Please 90
not cut in during dances" which
showed that the new fashion has not
been adopted in Chile. Yet with this
return to the more stately form, there
was not the less charming informally
in the atmosphere. and midShipman
and more mature officers danced with
debutanteS and matrons until the supper
hour at midnight Many remained up
stairs TO enjoy the dance music and the
almost empty floor.

the reception did not mar the serving
