Annual Event.

Washington's annual Bal Boheme
at the Willard Hotel tomorrow night
from 10 to 4 o'clock, with Mrs. Roose-
welt as leading sponsor, offers one glo-
rious night of illusion amid the ro-
mantle enchantment of the East, for
the theme of this-the twelfth annual
ball of the arts-is laid ''in the ORR
ent," both for decoration and pageant
spectacle, being characteristic OF those
lands from east of the Suez and west
of the Golden Gate.
The Arts Club will transport all
comers from the mundane atmosphere
of a Wintry city in America to the
dwelling place of the nabobS, the sho-
guns, the mandarins and the grand
lamas, Shahs, their retinues and ha-
rems, and other inhabitants Of these
tabled lands of the East in bizarre
raiment bedecked with brilliant jewels
will greet the eye Of all beholders at
the Bal Boheme, and seductive strains
Of music of the Orient will thrill the
senses as the gorgeous pageant sweeps
along the ball room floor, while tower
ing above will be the gates of Tibet,
fianking one of the giant multi-armed
deities of the East, "a feet high, with
resplendent panels along the side
walls and at the very center OF the
room four tall towers of shifting light.
The rich colors Of the Orient used
In the design Of the ball room will be
reproduced in the raiment Of the
pageant people and in the Floor Com
mittee itSelf-33 of the finest men in
stature and dignity that the Arts Club
boasts-whose majestic entrance will
open the bal, as always. Marco Polo
himself, revisiting the Orient, gives
but a vague idea of the gaiety and
charm of the pageant professional,
which opens majestically with bugles
and military fanfare, announcing the
entrance OF Kublai Kahn and his re-
tinue, umbrella bearers, belled mes
sengers and barons of his court.
Dancers from Persia, from Java,
from Japan, from Siam, Nautch dane

BY SALLIE v. II. PICKETT.

The Presidents dinner to the Su
preme Court, the feature of the off
cial program for this week, will seen
a little tame when compared with tht
exciting events of the past sever
days, but it is indeed an imposing
sight to see these dignified justice.
Of the Supreme Court and state
ly danes put aside all frivolity
and take the Presidents hospital
ity seriously. Some other distin-
guished men of law will be in the
company, and as usual with each
state dinner this season a musicale
will follow. These latter events are
not the tiresome things of some years
past. but delightfully."- informal events
with the President and Mrs. Roose-
velt meeting the guests, and Mrs
Roosevelt tarrying in the state suite
until the guests all depart.
Without change, except for the
Vice Presidents dinner, the White
House program has thus far been
carried out, and there yet remain
three events of paramount interest.
There will be lull of a week before
the Speakers dinner is given the night
OF Tuesday, February 10, and the other
two events are receptions. President
and Mrs. Hoover instituted the Gus
tom of placing reception on the list
Of state events in honor of the Off
cials of various departments and Fed
eral agencies, and Thursday night,
February 81, there will be one of the
largest receptions of the season, with
New Dealers, just come to Washing
ton, adding the same degree of in
terest as did the new members of the
Senate and House at the reception
last week. On the night of February
% the state list of entertainments
will close with the brilliant Army and
Navy reception
The congressional reception Thurs
day night was little less than a real
triumph for the President. Not in
years have so many Senators and
Representatives been received. many
OF them stopping to speak a few
words with the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, who receives almost as
much homage as does her husband.
There were almost as many Repub-
licans as Democrats In the throng
OF more than 1900 guests, older
members Of the two august bodies of
Congress introducing the new men,
bers with genuine gusto. There was
an informality and friendliness good
to see.
Not only were these solons of Capt.
tol Hill glad to accept the President's q
invitation to the reception in their
honor. but they took their families
and friends. Quite change from
times when vari-colored tickets of ad-
mission were issued, a color for each
reception and Bridget McCarty and
her leige lord smiled on the Presi-
dent and the First Lady under the
guise of the accommodating Senator
or Representative who gladly gave
up their gold-embossed invitations to
their cooks and buffers. But there
was an excuse if not a mitigating
reason. White House receptions were
events of extreme bodily discomfort
even after the restoration of the man
sion in the Theodore Roosevelt ad-
ministration, and little less than alb
solute torture before that time.

Mr.. and Mrs. Van

After search that lasted two hours
after dark last night, all that was left
Of Bobby was a series of tracks and
a line in the snow made by dragging
leash.
Bobby was 3-year-old black cocker
spaniel, presented to Mr.. and Mrs
Cleve Van Driesen, 1884 Varnum street,
yesterday by Postmaster William M.
Mooney, as a fitting playmate for
Texas, the spaniel they already owned.
Soon afterward Van Driesen, who
is a division chief in the general ac-
counting Office, decided to take the
two dogs out for a walk on leash in
Rock Creek Park. Bobby broke away
and Texas followed. Van Driesen
tried to call them back but only
Texas came. For almost an hour Van
Driesen tried to follow the tracks
that were now being obliterated by
the snow. Failing, he returned for
his wife, and together they set out
with flashlights to search the park.
But even this proved futile and about
$3.50 pm. they gave up the search.
