The ball was rather picturesque
with military uniforms, pink coats,
evening frocks of all kinds, and
formal outfits making a striking
contrast of colors. . Of all the
officers the best dressed, I must
say, were the Chileans. Their
boots were the subject of admira-
ton of both femmes ct bommes.
It's true that the shape of their
legs was not exactly Zigfeldian,
but they are riders, aren't they?..
The list of the invited was quite
a select one. D.. The High Commits

Elizaldi, didn't mind at all the
Washington bellies, especially the

Mexico, Cuba etc., etc., made brief

Morgan, jr., secretary of the show,
was among the notables. George
T. Summerlin had to look around
for long time before he could find
a chair and relax. Commits
sioner Melvin Hazen greeted the
guests with a smile. Dwight
Davis, of the Davis Cup, whirled
with his charming better-half. =.
Col. Louis Johnson, Assistant Sec
retary of War, did his duty nobly in
the receiving line. Harry

was the best one but l can easily
say they were both tops! . The
desire of each band to outshine the
other made them give everything
they had and the result was that
the noble guests gave up their
austerity and went jitterbuggish!
The champagne and the whiskey,
both in profusion, did the rest! ...
The only complaint that l won't
surely make, but that some of my
dear confrere columnists may
make, is that there wasn't much
variety of food, the whole menu
consisting of scrambled eggs and
salads! But who was thinking
of food, anyway! It's true,
though, that if you write about
delicacies you hope nobody will
resent it. But who knows?
Maybe the little sausages or the
little sandwiches melting in your
mouth could get hurt! Mr..
Luttrell showed that he wasn't
only a fine host but also a modest
one. . He not only gave the Wash
ingtonianS a swell party, but he
didn't want the invitations sent
with his name on. He said to the
other members of the Horse Show
committee: "I'll give the money, as
much as you need, but don't say
it's me. It'll Just be a Hunt Ball"

Arrival of the team members,
changed from their riding
