Republican Senators who wan
dered past the Presidential Dining
Room of the Mayflower Hotel
Wednesday evening - and there
were lot of G.. o. P. bigwigs in
the hote) for Senator Taft's after
noon reception - cast envious
glances at a certain table for four.
There sat goodlooking Republican
National Committeeman Harry
Darby of Kansas, who prior to
noon on Wednesday was member
of the United States Senate, sur
rounded by three ladies who were
hanging on his every word. They
were none other than Mrs. India
Edwards, vice chairman and di-
rector of the Women's Division OF
the Democratic National Commit
tee; United States Treasurer Geor-
gia Neese Clark, former Demo-
cratic National Committeewoman
from Kansas, and liberal colum-
mist from Kansas, Doris Fleeson!
What the paSSerS-by didn't know
was that the three woman had
asked Harry out to dinner as a
farewell to his senatorial stay in
the Capital. How many Republi-
can Senators can get that kind OF
attention from that camp? The
gals put it all down to H. DIS per-
sonal charm and friendliness to
everybody. and they add that even
the Democrats think he's done a
good job as Senator. What will
the Senator's think when they see
me with India?" Harry asked his
bubbling hostesses. They'll think
you have her working for you"
quipped the other two.
After dinner they escorted him

A prospective bridegroom in
quires: Just what flowers am l
supposed to pay for at my COM
ing wedding? There seems to be
a great difference of opinion on
this score"
1t is impossible to give definite
directions because customs differ
in different localities. Even so, the
bridegroom always buys the bou-
tonnieres of the ushers as well as
his own and that of the best man.
In many communities he also buys
the brides bouquet as well as the
corsage she wears away. 1t is in
correct, however, and very unfair,
to expect him to buy the flowers
carried by the bridesmaids. And,
of course, he never pays for the
decorations of the church.

Society News
Scottish Spirit and Color Highlght
St. Andrews Society Tartan Ball

That the band-Tiny Meeker'S
could strike up the authentic
Scottish air for the reel is a story
in itself. The performance re-
quired q lot of homework for the
orchestra, but the society agreed
that 1t passed its final examina-
ton with flying colors.
Tiny Meeker's Scottish Bond
Mr.. Meeker and his men spent
one long night simply listening to
phonograph records Of Scottish
dances to get the proper intona-
ton and shading Of the music.
Then came hours of practice as
the musicians mastered the ex-
acting and very rapid passages of
the music. Last night the hard
work paid off. AS the intricate
music poured forth without a flaw,
the evident pleasure of the dancers
was ample recompense for the
musicians work.
After a session Of round dane
ing, the Petronella and Rory
O'Moore were danced by the in
defatigable guests, followed by a
few less taxing modern dances
the samba and rumba.
Just before the intermisSion, the
st. Andrews Choral Group, Or
ganized especially for the ball by
Mr.. Neil Mcleod and directed by
Mr.. Robert Hawksley, a noted
choir master, brought a hush TO
the hall with their singing of
ALTON Water" "f00 Pipers" and
"Eriskay Love Lit"
Rested up by the intermission,
the dancers once more took to
the floor to change and inter-
change partners to the rapid pace
of "The Dashing White Sergeant"
"a dance not unlike our Paul
Jones.
Then came more modern dane
ing-which was spaced through
out the evening in a Al ratio
with the Scottish numbers-and,
finally, the band came sweetly
forth with "Auld Lang Syne" and
the dancers. one by one stood still
to sing one of the loveliest of all
Scottish airs
Arranged by AII-MoIe Group
The gala ball, commemorating
st. Andrews Day, was arranged
and run by the Messrs. Frederick
w. Turnbull, John D. Evan,
Thomas N. Kindness, Robert
Mackenzie Waggaman, George L.
MacElroy, Andrew Fraser and the
Rev. James G. Graham.
These gentleman, with no ex-
perience in giving a ball and al
most entirely independent of the
ladies. proved once and for all
that you should never underesti-
mate the power of man.
Starting off with the philos-
ophy that all you need for dance
is a room and orchestra and
plenty of people. the gentlemen
ended up with those ingredients
plus all the extras In the way OF
decoration and entertainment
that usually mean "the woman s
touch"
The all-male st. Andrews So
ciety now hopes that the ball
will become an annual affair
And. judging by the reluctance
with which guests left the ball,
this shouldn't be hard TO ac-
complish.

so after the show they took their

Washington-for the first time
in it's long and colorful history
saw a "balla NOR ma gaidheal o
raoridh" "a big highland ball last
night and with it something new
in the way of color.
The main ballroom of the Shore
ham Hotel, scene of the st. An
drew's Society Ball, was trans
formed for the night into some
thing from the highlands. The
pipers played, the heather bloomed
and lads and lasses, some decked
out in the ancestral tartan. divided
their time between traditional
Scottish dances and round dane
ing.
Tables Surrounding the dance
floor were marked with place cards
bearing on one side the White
Cross of st. Andrew and on The
other The Red Lion of Scotland
rampant. Sprigs of heather on
the place cards were reminiscent
of the moors. Sadly, however
this heather was imported from
California moors rather than Scot
tish ones. And the flag of the
society with the White Cross blaz-
ing forth from a blue field was
displayed prominently beside the
standard with its yellow field anc
red lion on the right of the band
stand.
More Than 400 Attend
AS more than 400 st. Andrews
members and their guests entered
the ballroom, two pipers in full
regalia were stationed by the door
to pipe them in. The pipers
Mr.. James Garrioch and Mr.
Thomas Cow, moved to the center
of the ballroom little after
9 o'clock-hour for the dance to
begin-to play for the grand
march.
The Scottish atmosphere was
greatly enhanced Immediately be-
fore the grand march by the
Washington Scottish Bagpipe
Band whose lively airs set many
a foot tapping before the dance
officially had begun.
Lead by Mr.. Lindsay Howell
president of the society. the
couples in the grand march di-
vided and came together in
formations of fours, eights ano
sixteens with splendid precision
and when finally their lines
broadened to the width of the
floor and could broaden no more
the band struck up a lively walt
and the ball was on.
First Scottish dance on thu
program was the lifting Eight

by members of the society whit

direction of Mai. lain Taylor ol

dancers and many of their ladies
