Several hundred guests
danced to the strains of Meyer
Davis music, from 10 o'clock
until 6 next morning. All had
simply a grand time. In spite
Of the very bad night, every
one came-they all knew this
ball W: something that should
not be missed.
From Washington came a
bus that had been chartered,
bringing 40 debutantes and
young men. They were late in
arriving, as they had slipped
off the road in the snow and
had to be pulled out, but
finally got there. Among those

pretty Subdeb was Miss Ethel
Worthington, of Washington,
who came with her sister, Mrs.
Keith Luke, who was a last
year debutante.
Just before IL o'clock favorS
were passed, of horns, whistles,
shakers, and every kind of
thing that would make a noise,
and the place rang with Happy
New Year" and songs of all
kinds. Miss Barrett quickly
changed from her long full
white dress into a white and
blue, trimmed in silver, and
appeared for dancing as a Rus
sian princess.
The night was black and
cold outside, but all was gaiety
and happiness inside. They
danced until daylight was creep
ing in at the windows.
All of the Virginia girls looked
beautiful. I wish I had room
to describe them.

Such fun as there was trying
to guess who the masked figures

laughter at different ones when
they were recognized.
It would have been a hard Job
to judge which was the best cos
tune at this ball, there were so
many beautiful and well-gotten-

Barrett was splendid. His red
hair had been dyed black, a
mouStache, goatee, side whis-

wore well, made him into a stun

There was also a real princess
there, Princess Gagarine, dressed
in a yellow costume, and her
two sons, Prince Alexis and
Prince Dmitri.
Miss Randolph Richardson
wore a white cellophane dress
which was most attractive.
