2 Br SOCIETY. illiant Social Function| Scheduled by The Arts Club Rare Opportunity for Colorful Sctting’s and Cos- tumes Presented in ""Ball of the Americas,” Due January 27. Never before in the history of the Bal Boheme of the Arts Club of Wash- ington has such gorgeous opportunity for colorful settings and costumes been offered as in this season’s ball—"The Ball of the Americas”"—to be staged on Monday night, January 27, at the Wil- lard Hotel. In magnificent modern settings—de- signed and executed in the true spirit of present.day America—is an atmos- phere filled with the impressiveness of the “‘wide open spaces” of the American | continents, and the carnival spirit of all | the peoples of the world who have com- bined through the centuries to develop the Americas of today—will foregather | on that night hundreds of men and | women of the Capital City of the World | to make merry. | And amid all this color and carnival will stand out as the chief feature, per- haps, of all the arts—the big stunt of the ball—known as “The Adventurers,” a lovely, lithesome, lilting thing, writ- ten in scenario form by a member of the Arts Club, at present living in Calif- | ornia, Mrs. Henry Hayes, better known here perhaps as’ Ednah Proctor Clark Hayes, one of the best known writers of | the Arts Club, who is well-nigh famous for her spirit of delightful fantasy. This scenario, the Bal Boheme com- mittee will present in a brief “Revue of | the Americas.” mingling music, the drama, the dance, gorgeous costumes, beautiful lighting, and withal, expert | stage direction by Mr. William F. Baker, who is in charge of the presentation of “The Adventurers” on the night of the ball. It will be, in very truth, a bril- liant, kaleldescopic experience for the hundreas who are present to view it At 11 o'clock. on the minute, the ball room lights will be darkened, the fa- mous floor committee having invited thé | guests to take their places on the side- lines. so to speak. amd for those free spirits who are willing, a splendid seat is offered on the floor that those behind may see. “Continent of the Americas” Listed as Special Feature. Then to the rhythm of music that was born _when the earth was young, | will make his majestic appearance, the Great Manitou, spirit of the Western | Worlds, 1n_his hands a giant globe which, opening, reveals the continent of the Americas The Great Manitou lsughs in pure joy, as the Western | ‘World is born in his arms; and quickly then, & host of Mayan Devil Danc appear, whirling about to the weird cadence of the music and followed by the boy god of the Mayan peoples, the “Peathered Serpent,” with his attend- ants. Then will come the spirit of Lief the Lucky, heralded by the “valky- ries” of the Northern land; to be followed by the spirit of Columbus, at- | tended by three great-winged Victories in gleaming white and gold. | The Mayan Devil Dancers combat | .the progress of these adventurous souls, | but as the Spanish Conquistadores ap- | pear, the Mayan Devils weaken and | flee. Next there is the majestic en- trance of Imperial Spain. at the height of her glory, with attendants in the | | old Southern planter making bets on {|an Old Plantation Dance, to be pre- costumes of the Spanish Infantas, as | r inted by Velasquez. and following them comes Elizabethan Ergland, ac- companied by the spirit of Sir Francis Drake, 3nd a Puritan of the period; and close in their wake, the Buccaneers of the Spanish Main, in search of treas- ure. They range the seas, covering even the great seaboard from Panama m] Maine, with their chest of “pirate gold.” Then will come Canadian France, in a fur-laden canoe, carried by four giant trappers, voyageurs of the Far North— and even on the instant, a change occurs, and the adventurers of the Bal Boheme find themselves in the Argen- tine, with four gauchos escorting two dancing figures, in a “Balle-Argentino” evolved just for this occasion. Indian chiefs file past, with squaws in their wake, and this group will be robed in authentic Indian garb, even including that of a real Cherokee princess. On they come—next appears a group of the hardy adventurers of the plains—the ploneers of the Oregon Trail, with the “famous madonna of th~ trail” in their company: and shortly thereafter, groups of gayly-garbed Me: fcans—{riars, singing rls, guitaris cabelleros and senorits Steamboat Girls Scheduled To Stage “River Race.” One of the most entertaining groups will be the Mississippl Steamboat Girls, who will stage a river race, along the ball room floor, accompanied by the | din of bells and whistles, with a “regul tion” steamboat gambler, and a real the results of the race, en route. Anothe: outstanding feature will be sented by a real old-fashioned Southern Girl in & most up-to-date manner. Then back goes the scene to the Frozen North, as the Northwestern Mounted Police enter, dragging & giant sled, with & huge ice-block imprisoning eight beautiful frost-maidens. Comes Flaming Youth, the adventurer of the Americas and the modern youth of today, bearing in_his hand_the torch of hope. Flaming Youth—even he—seeks for adventure on our shores, but none is left. Both earth and sea are conquered. only youth and beauty remain. So with his tdrch he melts the block of ice, and the frost maidens come forth, clad in icicles and joyous at their release by the hand of Youth. They play gayly together, ~when — suddenly —8& new sound is heard—the whirring of wings in the skies. One conquest vet remains, and doffing his r folly, he stands revealed as Tim test adventurer —the modern aviator. Then from out the clouds, before his dazzled eyes, there appears the shining figure of the spirit of aviation. “ship of the skies,” breathless with her flight, end clad In silvered splendor, offering in her hands the symbol of achievement | in the uncharted spaces of the air. Youth leaps to greet her, while all the adventurers of past ages surrender to him with & mighty “hail. Turkish Ambassador Listed With Nation's D;stinguished Men His Home in Washington | Noted as Among the Most Hospitable of the Diplo-| matic Establishments. So many_changes have occurred re- cently in the staff of the Ambassador from the Turkish Republic, M. Ahmed Moutar, that of the large and interest- ing personnel accompanying him to | Washington in December, 1927, only | the counselor of embassy, M. Ahmed | Bedy, remains in residence. The Turk- | ish Ambassador, one of the most dis- tinguished of statesmen, trained under | the formed Ottoman empire and for 30 | years in the diplomatic service, has re- | cently decided to take over local cus-| toms In the matter of names. Accord- ingly as so much confusion has ensued over the use of the designation “Bey,” which means only mister or monsieur, that hereafter it will be dropped from all names and the French prefix for monsieur _or madam will be used instead. Invariably in stating the name of the ladies of the Turkish embassy, | madame preceded and Bey ended, which meant in reality, Mme, or Mrs, and | therefore, as the ambassador is exact | she knows it already in the academic War, and painstaking he finds it simpler to| comply with local custom and be M. Ahmed Mouhtar, minus “Bey.” One of the most hospitable e lishments in Washington is the em of the republican government which has succeeded the autocratic empire of the Sultans. Located in the elegant home of Mrs. Arthur Lee in Massachusetts avenue near Seventeenth street, the drawing room of the Ambassador, though proclaiming & bachelor home, is | at the same time one of the most friendly and least formal rooms. It is filled with signed photographs of digni- tarfes, the austere Kemal Pasha, Presi- dent of the Republic, holding the place of honor with many of cabinet ministers scattered about with attractive family pictures. M. Mouhtar lost his wife last | Summer and his family now consists of two married daughters, Mme. Ferika Enver of Smyrna, and Mme. Fabire Nebbitz of Stamboul. They and their group of handsome children with beau- tifully framed photos add much charm 1o his living room.

Ahmed Bedy, counsellor of the embassy, and Mme, Bedy, who serves | as hostess for the Ambassador, have & | charming &partment in the Hay-Adams House, and here also are located all the other members of the Turkish embassy resident in Washington. The beautiful home of the late Rudolph Kauffmann, on Military road, which for two years | made an ideal domicile for the staff of | the Ambassador, with the ladies of their | families, has been reluctantly relin- | quished in favor of & more central locs tion. Mme. Afifeh Bedy now speaks Eng- lish and has become familiar with West- ern ways, and in & quiet, dignified man- ner she mingles in diplomatic society, and has, besides, many friends in resi- dential circles. She s a member of a prominent family of Constantinople, and, though young—being still in her twen- ties—she is among the progressive wom- en whom President Kemal Fasha relies on to keep the republic abreast with modern times. Mme. Smiye Sabit, who is now visiting relatives in Stamboul fter closing her home in Rome, where she and the first secretary, M. Nuri Sabit, just arrived in Washington, have | been living for three years, also will have an apartment in the Hay-Adams House. Mme. Sabit is young and pro- | gressive also. and her first task will be | to manage English conversationally, as | way. Turkish Ladies Here Conform | To American Social Customs. | Although _ there are momentous | changes in Turkish policy in regard to women under the regime of Kemal, | | there is nothing spectacular about the Turkish ladies in Washington, They call and receive calls, and although they | have not yet set aside a day at home, the visitor on“the specified days is al- | ways certain of a cordial welcome and | will enjoy a delicious repast of Turkish dainties. The Ambassador has not been in robust health this Winter, and he is, besides, keeping & period of mourn- | ing. But he has some hospitable plans in contemplation when the social calendar is not so erowded and the members of | the social seumot s0 hurried for leisurely | enjoyment. Meantime this diplomatist works daily in learning English, and he can engage in conversation of & gen-| ommissioner Dougherty, will be at| .

A N, e Mrs. Binghnm Entertains At Congressional Club Mrs. Hiram Bingham, wife of Sen- ator Bingham of Connecticut, was | greeted by a large audience at the Con- gressional Club Friday afternoon when she gave a violin recital. Beginning with “Sonata No. 1” from Schubert, she then played a difficult “Afr on the G String” from Bach, then a rollicking “Gavotte,” by Lully, fol- lowed by “A Melody From the Opera Orfeo,” by Von Gluck. “Kol Nidrei,” an adagio by Buch, was brilliant, A tender tune, “Songs My Mother Taught Me." from Dvorak, was followed by a de lightful —number, “Madrigale,” y Simonetti. which she repeated as ar encore. The last number, “Le Cygne.” from Saint-Saens, closed a very de- lightful program. Mrs. Bingham was most ably accompanied by Miss Char- lotte Klein. Though slight of build and rather delicate looking, Mrs. Bing- ham played the entire program without resting and sustained her notes true and sweet to the end. Miss Mary Madden read the poem “Aux Italiens” very effectively as an introductory number. Long before her marriage Mrs. Bing- ham studf®d the violin under famous masters in London and on the continent and through her early married years she found time to practice her beloved instrument. Not the least of the dis- tinction which attaches to Senator and Mrs. Bingham is that they have seven sons. All of them love music, and from their infane Imost, they have admired their mother’s ability to draw poignant strains from the violin. All play some variety of musical instru- ment and they can organize a fine or- chestra in the home circle. One of the sons printed the attractive program used yesterday afternoon at the Con- gressional and he also had a hand in selecting the numbers. Mrs. Porter Hinman Dale, president of the club, was a gracious hostess, and Mrs. Edward Keating, chairman of the entertainment committee, presided. The opening number was a dramatic recital of Bulwer-Lytton's memorable poem, “Those Who Carry On," by Miss Mary Wadden. Miss Wadden has been visit- ing the family of Representative Ed- ward W. Pou of North Carolina, but will leave tomorrow for her home in Madison, N. Dak. She is a nationally known lecturer and dramatic reader, and gained much celebrity through her lecture on Jeanne d’Arc. Practically the entire list of national officers of the Congressional Club at- tended the reception yesterday and a fair proportion of the members had guests. Mrs, Peter Goelet Gerry, whom Mrs. Dale succeeded, received an ova- tion when she dropped in to congratu- late Mrs. Bingham. Former Senator and Mrs. Gerry have been occupying their home in R street. but leave for New York on Sunday evening. Andrieus Jones of New Mexico was an- other guest who was heartily welcomed. Among those present were Mrs. Roscoe C. Patterson of Missouri and her guests, Mrs. Frank E. Sheldon of Kansas City and Mrs. John W. Lyman, sister of former Gov. Hadley, who has also been visiting her. Mrs. Percy Quin, Mrs. Joseph Manlove and Mrs. James S. Parker were others who had out-of- town guests. Mrs. George H. Moses of New Hampshire and Mrs. John Mc- Duffie, wife of the Representative from Mobile, Ala., presided at the attractively laid tea table. :Capital City Choristers List Benefit Card Party The Capital City Choristers are giv- ing their first benefit card party of the 1920 season at the Carlton Thurs- | day ~evening, January 23, at 8:30 o'clock.
