F 10 SOCIETY. New York Society Plans Indian Benefit Program. Completes Arrangements for "Old Frontier™ Ball With Setting of Covered Wagon, “Bad Men," Tribal Dances and War Paint. NEW YORK, April 5—With debu- tantes practicing the dances of Min- nehaha and ypung men of the smart set learning how to wear blankets | ind head-feathers in the most becom- ing manner, society is engrossed in preparation for thg Indian and old frontier ball, which will take place on April 22 at the Hotel Plaza. Face powder will be discarded for war paint, and the war-whoop will be heard over the booming of the tom- tom at the intensively realistic scene of border days to be presented. Even the papoose and covered wagon will have places in the ensemble, while minfature campfires will smoke be- fore tepees. ever before has New York been confronted with an event of such novél attraction. By sekillful con- triving the ballroom will look like a dance hall of the northwest of a half sentury ago, with old-fashioned bar and beetle-browed two-gun men in the rear. Thers will be fantastic decorations of Navajo blankets and skins of wild beasts, while repre- sentatives of several tribes of red- men will weloome the guests. The | Pipe of peace and the modern cigar- | ette will be smoked in joyful accord. | indlan food will be “served from dishes on oflcloth-covered tables, but it is whispered'that knives and forks will roplace the finger cutlery of long ago. For Bemefit of Indians. The ball will be dedicated to the benefit of the association, which has as its alms the promotion of the wel- fare of the Indian and the securing of just treatment for these wards of the government. The officers are Irv- in& Bacheller, president; John Col- ier, 1 lard Straight, treasure: ginla Furman, assistant treasurer; A. A, Berle secretary. Invitations bear the request that Zuests wiil attend in costumes as hunters, trappers, Indians, cowboys, cowgirls, Mexicans, tenderfeet and picturesque ploneers. The dancing will include primitive and modern steps, while there will be a cabaret of stage stars. Some of the promi- nent names which appear among the list of patronesses are Mrs. Lewis lin, Mrs. Hamilton Fairfax, Mrs. John King Van Renseelaer and Mrs. James Muhlenberg Bailey. On the cxecutive committee are Robert In- gersoll Brown, Mrs. Herbert Stockton, Miss Margaret Brown, Mrs. Ingersoll Swasey, Capt. B. S. Jolley, Edwards | Simmons “Hall, Morley Queen, Ed- mond J. Stone and Miss Marjorie Cleveland. Debutantes Will Dance. A bevy of debutantes will bs seen in the corn dance, which is one of the most beautiful and graceful of the Indian ceremonials. This modern ver- ®ion of the rite, which was given in former times to insure a plentiful harvest, is being diligently practiced under the tutelage of native In- structors. A spring horse show, one of the most exclusive equine events to take place in_many a long day, was held by the Riding Club at its home on 58th street, east of 5th avenue, last Wednesday. There were a limited | number of entries and several superb breeds were shown. Riding Club Election. At a recent election of the Riding| Club Dallas B. Pratt was named pres- ident to succeed the late Walter P. Bliss. Mr. Pratt is the fifth president of the club, membership in which is: considered équivalent to admission to the innermost circie of society here. H. W. Hollister, who_ was for a long | period treasurer of the National | Horse Show Assoctation, was head of the club from 1881 to 1901. James T.! Woodward, who succeeded him, re mained almost as long as head of the organization. Samuel T. Peters was his successor, and when he died in | 1921 the office was bostored upon Mr. Bliss. His death occurred in January. An announcement that has brought | a thrill to the members of the smart set is the news from Lenox, Mass., that the Duchess of Roxburghe, for- merly Miss May Goelet, will build a villa on the tract of land which she owns near. Laurel Lake. ican dychess has many friends here, and was one of figures of Newport colony before and after her marriage. Her estate at Lenox is adjacent to that of Robert | Goelet. Should the structure be com- pleted In time for the fall hunting season, it is predicted there will be many gay and interesting house par- | ties there. Countess Departs After Fetew. After being the center of a series of fetes, the Countess de Rodellec du Porzic departed her home in Brest, much regretted by the smart set here. The countess is a soclal | favorite and won a high place in the | regard of all By her hospitality to| the A. E. F. veterans while in the; seaport town on the arrival or de- rture from France. Her visit here this season has been marked by a round of entertaining in her honor. Most of the time that the Countess du Porzic has been in the city she has been the guest of her siste A Charles The associations and descent of the sisters extend over half a century.
