DebutanteS Entertained
At Black and White Bal
Unique Lighting Effects Add to Annual Affair
for Capital Buds-Prominent
Guests Attend.

Soft lighting presenting the effect Of
silvery moonlight gave an enhancing
atmosphere to the gala Black and White
Ball last evening at the Mayfower
Hotel. Seldom has Washington seen
a more charming picture than was af-
forded by this artistic lighting, which
not only enhanced the beauty of the
young women who will shortly take
their places as hostesses In society in
the Capital, but also made many of the
debutantes of yesteryear look almost as
young as their daughters.
The fete, which was inaugurated sew
eral years ago by Mrs. William Laird
Dunlop. jr, is one of the outstanding
annual events given for the young
women making their formal bows to
society. Carrying out the traditions of
this popular fete, the debutantes wore
white evening gowns, with wigs, some
Of silver. others of white, platinum and
cel1ophane, and a few with their own
treSSeS sprayed with silver. The buds
of other years were in gowns of various
hues, making a striking contrast to the
al1-white costumes of the debutantes
and the black and white evening attire
Of the gentlemen in the company.
The ball started promptly at 1890
O'Clock. with the debutantes standing
in the receiving line with Mrs. Dunlop,
who wore gown of black chiffon velvet
with touches of white velvet on the
sleeves and at the waist line.
Prominent Guests Attend.

tions President and Mrs. Roosevelt will
make in the general plans for the re-
ception are not announced. but what
ever they do will be in keeping with
the dignity of the occasion. There will
be a goodly family party in the blue
room, with perhaps the Presidents
mother, Mrs. James Roosevelt; Mrs.
Dali. the daughter of the house. and
her sister in law, Mrs. Donner Roose-

the Roosevelt family, socially speaking
Last night, in the crystal room at lhe
Ritz in New York, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Emlin Roosevelt gave their daughter
Miss Margaret Roosevelt, her second
coming-out party. The first party was
early in November, when family re-
ception was held to which the old
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt were
invited, while the party OF last night
was far more youthful. Later in the
evening Miss Roosevelt attended the
first and very exclusive Junior Assembly,
an invitation to which means safe
social landing, not that it would make
any difference to this particular bud.
She is the granddaughter OF the late
w. Emlin Roosevelt, and after this glad
fling will probably spend the rest OF the
Winter with her parents at their Winter

For the third time in major case

International Labor Defense will go
into court next week to challenge the
right of the white ruling class Of the
south to exclude Negroes from juries.

as the defense is demanding, wit
nesses will be called TO support a
motion TO quash the indictment
against the nine innocent Negro boys
on the ground that Negroes were il
legally excluded from the grand jury
which handed down the indictments,
and are Systematically excluded from
all juries in Alabama.
On similar grounds, the Fuel Lee
