Warbuton into office as mayor of Palm Beach by an over- whelming majority. social leaders have turned to laying their plans for the Washington Birthday regatta and ball, the latter marking the height of the season.
 If weather saves good offerings for the day of the regatta the shores of Blue Lake Worth will outdazzle the flowers when society dons it's smartest sports styles to watch the competition.
 As for the ball which will be held at the famous Everglades Club, 1t is
 the topic of the hour wherever the

 indicate it will be more brilliant than ever.

 Palm Beach. the old guard is al-
 ways in the picture. Secrecy how

McCleel- an, c. s. Woolworth, William M. Wadsworth. Dr. Charles Temple, A Frank Huston, Dr. Edward Martin. William F. Bode and H. M. Woor- hees.
 It requires good weather for many things in Palm Beach. and the sun- ny skies this week brought out some of the most colorful crowds ever seen in the beaches. Here is what one social leader wore. consid- cred one of the most interesting en. sembles. Long tailored coat of beige with gold leaf design into the weave exceptional ly large hat of natural tone straw, slippers and stockings of beige matching the tone of the ensemble.

WASHINGTON SEES
 l MANY GAY FRANKS
Social Life Of Capital Has Been
 Active One

Washington, Feb. Il R-Wash- ington society cut some gay pranks this week. ranging from the fancy dress ball at the French embassy on through q series of interesting cpl sodes such as only the capital can produce. Weeping hearts were left to those who could not attend the second empire ball at the embassy when the ambassador. M. Paul Clau- del. Mme. Claudel and their two daughters turned back to Napoleonic days for their splendid costumes, and court ladies and gentlemen danced with testers and ladies whose historic names once brought . blush to tho cheeks of the discreet mem- bers of French society.
 Many of the 800 guests sent to Paris costumers for their garb while others trusted New York and Phila- delphia designers to be true to the period. The ambassador wore an elaborate costume which was only rivalled at the ball by that of Mme. Claudel and her daughters. Special characters of the period were not portrayed excepting . few instances. that most brilliant period being rep- resented in . general fashion.
 The exquisite French drawing rooms gave the setting and there was no special effort at . tiresome program or pageant of which society has had surfeit this season. The two French hiers, for whom the ball was really planned. Lieut.. Comman- der Joseph Lebrix and Lieut.. Dieu- dome Costes. stood with the hosts ar" were applauded a they moved about the drawing rooms.
 Next Saturday night the same gay crowd will attend tho red and white ball to be siven by Belgian Ambas- sador and Princess Deligne for their very charming daughter, Princess Elizabeth Deliene. The invitations to the ball give an idea of what the costumes should be.
 The presidents dinner to the Speaker and Mrs. Longworth given Thursday night at the White House brought together the most cosmo- politan group that has graced any dinner there this winter.
