To Center About
HarbOr.

n ACH day one hears more and
r. more intriguing details Of the
IL coming Navy Relief Ball, sched-
uled to take place in the sail
loft at the Navy Yard, Tuesday eve
ming, March /. With q magic touch,
Mrs. Joseph NJ P. Wright, chairman
OF the Decoration Committee, is turn
ing not only the sail loft, but the har-
Dor, into something too fascinating.
The harbor that night will represent
a. little French village with both indoor
and sidewalk cafes. Cigarette girls
and hostesses In lovely costumes, de-
signed by Mry. Frederick Bell, will
wander about among the tables and
the milk bar will be tended by equally
attractive milk maids in costume.
Strolling musicians will add to the
charm of the party, while the sail loft
will be the popular spot for dancing.
There the walls will be covered with
murah by Mrs. Wright and gay draper
les Transforming the hall into q thing
of beauty. The dance floor is believed
to be one Of the best in the city.
In olden days. and for many years
in succession, the Navy Relief Ball
took place Thanksgiving night. Though
originally it was given in the sail loft
for q number Of years it has taken
place at the Willard Hotel. Again it
returns to the more appropriate setting
of the Navy Yard, due in great part
to the efforts Of the wife Of the COM
mandant Of the Navy Yard, Mrs.
George +. Pettingill, who has great
Imagination and visualiSed the possi-
bilities the loft presents for such
party. q.
There are more Interesting and ex-
citing details to be given out at .

Friday, week ago, in spite of the

1.400 people left the Grand Gen.

week end and the next it is impos-

IN any skiing center except through

was time to write concretely Of this
mania, which has driven ordinarily
sensible people up into the snow

work like wood choppers, feel like
eagles and possibly break their

SERVICE CLUB
HEARS ADDRESS
BY M'MULLEN
INTERESTING SESSION OF
ORGANIZATION CONDUCT
ED IN CHURCH ANNEX ON
TUESDAY EVENING

Notable Was the session of the
Stone Church Service Club held
Tuesday night in the church an
mex, with Colonel James D. Mac
Mullen, u. S. A, the speaker OF
the evening.
From the first to the last word
in his address the colonel held
the attention of his hearers, es-
pecially when his discourse
touched the theme of war.
The speaker stressed the fact
that no one who had seen war
had any desire for a like expert
ence, and also made plain the
fact that preparedness would be
our only defense against agrees
sioh,s should aggression come.
Among many interesting rem
iniscenses of the campaign in
PaleStnieI during the world war,
he spoke of the total absence OF
any reliable maps on which plans
might be based. Every officer
Vas feouired to make an inten-
sive study of the Old Testament
for suggestions and information
as to the terrain to be en-
countered.
Especially did this assume
great importance when an officer
reading of the battle between the
armies of Saul and those of the
Phillistines, received the hint of
a covered approach to the town
of Micmash, and upon revealing
this to his superiors, their plans
were altered and an easy victory
was had by the use of Saups
strategy. 1t was wonderfully
instructive as well as highly en-
tertaining talk, and provided his
hearers with much food for in
tensive thought.
Guests present were Colonel
MacMullen, Sam D. Cole, and
after enjoying delightful repast,
the club adjourned for a session
at shuttle board, and explained to
any listener who could be cor
nered, how it was that the
Masonic Shuttle Board experts
were so, lamentably able, to van
quish the members of the Serv-
ice Club.
