The entertain- ment accompanying what was termed a ball was so brilliant and all-satis- | fying that those with and without religious compunctions were well satisfied without dancing, ‘while others of less religious feeling re- mained until long after midnight to dance. It started with the well served Oriental or Chinese .dinner in the Willard room, where ropes of lighted lanterns from the chandeliers and umbrellas shading the side lights gave & suggestive setting, while many of the guests were in rich costumes of China. Chairs were arranged in the large ballroom to accommodate those watching the play, and after that the dunces from “An Evening of Mah- Jong” filied an hour with artistic beauty.

Sze and Mrs. Mason Gulick, chairman of the committee in charge of the benefit. Mrs. Frazer wore a Chinese costume of old rose, embrofdered in small figures, and a black headdress and Chinese shoes in blue and oyster white. Mme.

Mrs. Gulick's costume was of canary yel- low, embroldered in oyster white and dark blue, and she had an ornament in her hair of pearls and crystal which hung In a fringo over her fore. head. Col. L.
