LA FIESTA

De todas maneras, retratados ambts en-
ell grupo que habia precipitado la caida del
Presidente Diaz; senalados como EoiLbres
de primera fila de la Revoluci6n, para los
elegantes de la sociedad mexicana que sc
reunian en- la Residential de Oscar Braniff
la noche del 81 de diciembre de 1921, no
dejaban de ser ell punto de atraccitn, de
interes.
Hacia dos meses que ell general villarreal
habia abandonado la Secretaria de Agricul-
tura, mientras que PAM continuaba desenl-
Fernando la cartera de Relaciones, cuando
sc efectu6 tan memorable fiesta en- Ia re-
sidencia de Braniff.
No era numerosa la concurrencia que
asistia a la fiesta, pero era, 81. 10 mas gra-
nado de la vieja sociedad metropolitana;
eran los restos de aquellas damas y sque-
Hos caballeros que por ultima vez habian
lucido sus riquezas Y su poder durante las
suntuosas recepciones de sophomore de
1910, con motive de la celebration del pri-
mer centenario de la Independence de Me
xico.
ALI estaban los representatives de las
principles familias de la Capital, Y ell que
mas y ell que menos, despues de diez amos
de tragicas visiones, significaba ell antique
poderio economico mexicano derrumbado
por la revolucion.
Despues de la media noche, y cuando va
sc habian repartido abrazos v felicitaciones
a diestra y siniestra, y cuando va ell reloJ
marcaba los primeros minutes del nuevo
ano, los duenos de la casa anunciaron una
sorpresa.
Todos los concurrentes, movldos por la
curiosidad, sc pusieron en- Marcia hacia ell
oropelesco comedor de la Residential de los
Braniff. Despues de que todos los huespe-
DIES levantaran la copa de champana, como
para alumbrar la felicidad del aiio que ha-
bfa entrado, ell anfitrion daria la sorpresa.
Y asf fue, en- efecto. Apenas terminada

bedecked stage and plans are being made for c musical program that will remain in sthe memory of those attending for many many months. A short concert will be followed with Q minuet dance ex- ecuted by four couples who will be attired in Colonial costumes. Tho dancers will be augmented to dou. ble their number, and in the man. nerism of days bygone, they will present the entire membership Uf the floor committee, who will wear the customary tuxedo. The reccp. tion or floor committee will num- Der 32 men.
 One of the unusual features for an event such as this will be the selection of costume judges. The officials will be selected from the ranks of skilled dressmakers who are familiar with the styles that they will be called upon to judge. In the past the judges who were men experienced considerable ditfi-' culty in making the proper selec- ton due to their unfamiliatity with ladies dress. in both group and individual classification.

The activities of the second day will include a pic- mic at Lakewood park. Ladies prize singing and the distribution of prizes.
