Feature balls, which have come to be so much in evidence in Washing- ton, made the simple, old-fashioned ball of last night all the more dis- tinctive, and, while the Marine Band and the Army Band played for the dancers up to midnight, an_orchestra furnished music for the dance car- ried on by the young set until the morning hours.
