Beginning with ith famous “Golden Apple ball two | years ago. notwithstanding various | dancing receptions and other social features that have served to bring Sbrinedom into the social limelight, the Arab Patrol boys have put forth eXceptional efforts to make the an nual ball the piece de resistance of the year. This year. it is declared. a particularly auspicious start opens the way to poss| ies not hereto- fore dreamed of, and the 1921 ball promises to be not only a worthy Successor to those which have pre- ceded it. but to eclipse them all in elaboration, special features and gen- eral splendor. The executive committee of the gen- eral committee on the 1923 Imperial Council session for Washington, after a cursory survey of the fleld, it is said, is prepared to report to the gen- eral committee that there Is every Teason to believe the project of bring- ing the Imperial Council here in 1923 ‘will be successfully carried out. The proposition has met with unusual en- couragement both in Shrine and busi- ness circles, it is said, and nothing now remains to be done, in the opin- fon of the executive committee, but to organize for the campaign and push the project to its limit. Already plans are being outlined for an_extraordinary ceremonial ses- sion of Almas Temple in May, when it is hoped to have a magnificent ceremonial enhanced by the pres- ence of guests of honor of the high- est national standing in Shrine and other circles. TIllustrious Potentate Henry Lansburgh says he will have no misfire this time, but that th next ceremonial, of Almas Templ . he believes, wil surpass the one of March 21 as much as that did its Ppredecessors.

Hope b FASHION CREATIONS OF THE STAGE. MISS IRENE WILLIAMS As Erminle wore a’quaint erinoline with a bonnet to match. BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. THE theaters last week offered a veritable treat to musical lovers as well as to followers of the drama. “Hearts of Erin," at the Belasco, was a deligh‘ful little play woven around Irish Iyrical songs of the type that will always be popular, and “Erminie” af- forded a setting for some choral work number being sung without accom- paniment. The most beautiful music, though, was to be found in the ap- pealing story of Franz Shubert, the composer, which was told in “Blossom Time,” at Poli's. Through every se- lection the audience could vaguely sense the familiar themes of his mas- terpieces, and several of his composi- tions, such as the “Serenade,” “Mo- ments Musicale” and the “Unfinished Sonata” were rendered without de- viation from the originals. From a fashionable, as well as a musical standpoint. the plays were of unusual interest, for all showed pe- riod costumes, and as the modern trend of style is back toward the “old-fashioned gown,” one may ob- serve the origin of many of them. In fact, it is sald, that New York modistes received their inspiration for the revival of the crinoline from the very costumes which were worn in “Erminie. It is also said that Miss Willlams, who sings the title and Past Grand Ward. be roll call night. Degree Director William R.

The outstanding color note green, but there were touches of gray and pale yellow combined with 1 The practically exclusive use of pastel shades in the entire produc- tion was of interest, as contrasted with the brilliant tones so popular with modistes today, and perhaps the comparison was highly favorable to “Erminie.” The tight bodice of Miss Williams' frock was of green silk, and it was trimmed with fluting of a slightly decper shade. The puffy sleeves had double gray lace ruffles to edge them. and more lace was appliqued around the skirt, as was also a wide flounce of deep green.
