TALKS and TALES With and About CAPITAL’S GUESTS As Macbeth would say, “Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. Yea, even if that day be the last of the perlod generally recos- nized as a year; for no sooner had the cuckoo chirped the midnight hour than a fresh twelve-month burst through the shell and blinked its baby eyes on a nervous but hopeful world. And such a welcome as was extend- ed the newcomer, especially here in the heart of the nation, where it seemed as though the entire popula- tion, Irrespective of race, color, creed or condition vied with each other to greet the little stranger. As per usual, the great hotels of the city were the chief centers of attra tion, and at several of those down- town.so immense were the throngs clamoring for table room that more than onme maitre d’hotel had to cry | out for assistance. Following time-honored custom, the management of the New Willard Hotel left nothing undone that would augment the pleasure of its guests at } the annual dinner dance held on the tenth floor of the house, and most in- spiring as the sight en, at the witching hour, more than a thou- sand gayly dressed men and women showered each other with (‘unfr,:n. casion While all * this was going on up- 's more than 200 young people. :‘.:l‘l-l:\h‘l"'\ké in the Willard room for the annual dance of the Delta h!zn. 3 Phi Fraternit chose their own method of paying homage to the newly crowned ng, and, while their entertainment ~was closed one, judged from the s ounds merriment that wafted through the pu}rlh» Iy they. too, did all possible to w the new year, * Y Across the street the New Ebbitt notable camping ground for ‘many ew.

Large crowds filled every available space, and, notwithstanding the fact that tables had been “ days before, happy revelers continued to flock to both houses to participate in the dancing. * ¥ * Around at the Lee House, which fast becoming a miniature “wigwam for many of Tammany Hall's bravest, | Resident Manager Shanahan did all possible to make things attractive for his guests, and here, too, the 1924 youngster was properly ushered in. ERE A brilliant gathering assembled at the New Hamllton, where the large dining room and dance hall were beautifully decorated for the event, and it was not until early’ morning that the last guest had sought the solace of sleep to revel in dreams of an evening well spent. % x % A hurried trip up to Meridian Man- sions, the recently opened 16th street hotel, disclosed more than 400 guests assembled for its initial New Year celebration, and well were they re- paid, for. aside from the enjoyment of a brilliant dance in thé spacious ball- 100m of the beautiful house, hand- some souvenirs were given all to com- memorate the occasion. * % ok ¥ Because of its vast space the Wardman Park Hotel unquestionably entertained the largest outpouring of merrymakers. Fully 2,000 couples took advantage of the attractive pro- gram arranged by Elmer Dyer, man- ager of the inn, and Irving Boern- stein’s stringed orchestra was still Playing “Three O'Clock in the Morn- ing.” when the clock in the offic registered 4:30. N The place was simply deluged with confettl, and seldom have such noisy nolse-makers been heard since New Year celebrations fifst started. Mr. | ver presented all the guests with | souvenirs. . | The night also witnessed the open. Ing of a new cafe when L'Alglon, a 1I8th street and Columbia road, breathed its sweet baby breath on a Joyous com. | munity. This new addition to the city's fast-growing list of high-class restau- rants is owned and operated by al local company, and if well-wishes ex- | tended those behind the enterprise by | the large attendance at the New Year celebration last night are a criterion, | then success Is assured. * % ok & But of all the care-free revelers who sang, danced and made merry none was more blissfully happy than one pretty little chestnut-haired girl down at the Hotel Washington, a dainty ingenue, who played her first part in a real, honest-to-goodness New Year production-at the Shubert- Garrick Theater last night—Florence Peterson. ‘When segén._ earlier In the day the Bonnie Lore of Zona Gale’s “Mister Pitt” was so thrilled over the pros- pect of opening in Washington that it might have been the Fourth of July, 80 far as she was concerned.
