The New Year Is ushering in a new
club in Silver Spring, the Junior
Hostess Club. 1t will hold its first
official gathering tomorrow evening
at the home of the president, Miss
Ruth Maddox, and her sister. Mary
Elizabeth Maddox, at 87o9 Georgia
avenue.
The organization, with a member
ship of about rs girls, was born as
the result of an idea of junior host
esses of the Silver Spring USO that
something should be done for lonely
soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital
and other Army stations after the
USO closed its doors yesterday.
Although a petition was sent by
50-odd servicemen who still need a
place to go" on off duty hours ask
ing continuance of the USO Club,
the service club was obliged to close
at the end of the year.
So the girls, who had volunteered
as hostesses at the USO Club during
the evenings decided, under the di-
rection of the USO Club director
Mrs. John Kelley, to form a club of
their own, where the boys could visit
during recreation hours and enjoy
music, dancing and games.

College from to pm. Thursday
at the Women's City Club, 1873

Plans for future expansion of the

mately $50 students, will increase to
about $50. Plans call for a new

Another page has been added to
the unwritten narrative, Friend
ship Hospitality" A page more full
of gayety and excitement and color
than any that preceded it during
the past four years. For last night
Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean, whose
generosity is legend, was hostess
at one of the most beautiful parties
ever given at Friendship.
Guests began arriving for dinner
shortly after 8, and many still
were there until the early hours of
the morning Following dinner SUI
preme Court justices, cabinet officers
and Senators danced to the music of
an orchestra brought from Baltimore
for the festive occasion. Nor did the
hostess take up the rugs to make
room for the dancers. An espe-
cially constructed platform of con-
siderable dimensions was built over
the center of the drawing room floor
and was kept well polished all
through the evening.
Mime. Martins, wife of the Bra
lillian Ambassador, whose sprained
foot has curtailed her activities for
weeks, braved the dance floor as
often as possible Assistant Secretary
OF State Spruille Braden did the
Samba with Mrs. Joseph E. Davies,
who was one of the lovelieSt and
most popular ladies at the party.
Equally popular was her daughter,
Mrs. Willard Tydings, who made a
handsome twosome with her Sena-
tor husband.
Rear Admiral Emory S. Land led
many pretty partners about the
dance floor, and Mr.. Clarence B.
Hewes likewise "tripped the light
fantastic" frequently. Mr.. William
L. Bait led his wife around the
floor and pleased her no end with
his dancing. 1t seems the lady
promised to study bridge If her
husband would take his dancing
more seriously. So promptly he en-
rolled with Arthur Murray.
Treasury Secretary Fred Vinsor
and Attorney General Tom Clark
and their wives joined first one
group and then another, and the
late evening found them in the
cardroom playing bridge. A buffet
supper also was a feature of the
late evening and was served espe-
cially for those invited for after
dinner.
In the dining room, flaming red
roses and shaggy white chysanthe-
NUNS decorated the long onyx table
and were cleverly entwined about
the silver candelabra. Some OF
these same flowers were used in the
adjoining rooms and masses OF
poinsettias and palms made a low
wall around the dance floor. Nina
ture Christmas trees with colored
lights were set on small tables
around the room, where guests sal
on comfortable divans and chairs
between dances.
The hostess wore gown of black
lace over a soft pink foundation
and a pink maribou cape. Besides
the famous Hope diamond, she hao

tions over to their -in-law and
daughters, Mr.. and Mrs. John

Happy New Year! Welcome 1916,

Happy New Year! Welcome 1916,
and it certainly is welcome. For the

strings tied to the bundle of Joy that
burst open last night and spread all
over Washington. With an eye to
the future, society finished OF the
past year In the gayest celebration
any one has seen in a long time.
There were no dampened spirits in
the home town last night, at least
not of the dreary variety.

Sulgrave belonged to the party given
by Mr.. James Preston Parks and
Mr.. Deane Rucker. In the center of
the table was large clock covered
with tin horns, hats, miniature storks
and babies. The hours on the clock
were marked by green and white
ribbons which ran from the center
to each guests place. At the words
of the hosts, each guest pulled his
ribbon, breaking the paper face of
the clock, and found an intriguing
present on the other end. The
presents were a surprise to the hosts
as well as the guests who included
