In brief. this Is the legislative
status with only a few dayse Of the
session left, though there are any
number OF odds and ends awaiting
disposal, among them the case OF
Senator-elect Ware who has never
taken his seat in the senate, though
he was elected in 1925.
IL is certain that a determined at
tempt will be made TO dispose of the
interior department bill and the
second deficiency bill. They are
appropriation measures. and unless
they are approved, 1t will mean they
have to be taken up at the special
session Congressional leaders and
President-elect Hoover are under
stood to be anxious that the COM
ing session be devoted strictly to
farm relief legislation and tariff re-
vision.
The radio bill has a good chance
for passage. since 1t has been ap-
proved by the house and the oppo-
sition 70 IL in the senate is not
thought to be strong. The final de-
cision in the Ware case. however. will
probably 20 over until next term.
principally because Ware is iii in
Florida and can not appear before

At the costume ball given last
evening by Mr.. and Mrs. Roy L.
Neuhauser, there was a rant
echo of the Bal Boheme in the
decorations and the costumes
worn by some OF the guests but
the party had many original ana
clever features.
There was dancing both up
stairs and down. but the drawing
room was the favorite spot, Tor
there, under the artist mana OF
the hostess, had been built up
the inside Of an Arab shelk
tent. hung with rich embroideries
and distinctly atmospheric
under its dim colored lights. The
host wore the Bedouin robes In
which he had Commanded the
floor committee at the Arts Club
bali-white bOurnous and rich
tunio of striped silk. Mrs. Neu.
hauser was also in Oriental dress
of purple and rose and gold, with
jeweled head.gear, which proved
most becoming.
She was assisted in receiving
by her cousin and guest, Miss
Mary Elizabeth Easton. of Cali
fornia, for whom the dance, last
night was given. Her garb was In
distinct contrast to Mrs. Neu-
hauser's---a sort of glorified skat'
ing costume of rose colOred wool
and blue-with a becoming little
blue cap.
