Bachelors’ Cotillon Most Brilliant of Winter's Series. The last of the Washington Bache- lors® cotillons for this season was given last evening in the Mayflower Hotel, and was one of the prettiest and most delightful of the three. The guests were received in the Chinese room, and the ball room was gay with flags of all na- tions, the Stars and Stripes occupying the most conspicuous places. Maj. Reg- inald Foster presented the guests to Brig. Gen. Willam E. Horton, United States Army, retired, president of the organization, who then introduced them | & to Mrs. James J. Davis, wife of the Sec- retary of Labor. Mrs. Davis was as- sisted iIn receiving by Mrs. Allen, wife of Senator Henry J. Allen of Kansas; Mrs, Wilbur J. Carr, wife of the As- sistant Secretary of State; Mrs. Thomas Sim Lee, wife of the first president of the Bachelors; Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose, and Mrs. Willlam Jeffries Chewn- ing, jr, wife of the treasurer of the Bachelors. Mrs. Davis wore a becoming gown of steel blue transparent velvet, made in a semi-fitted model, the skirt long and flaring and the bodice finished in a square neck finished by a wide band of delicate lace. She wore no Jjewels. Mrs. Allen was in a gown of ecru lace over silk, made long, the lace hanging in graceful draperies below the hemline. The low waistline was marked with a deeper shade of tulle and a nar- row band of rich brown velvet finished the V neck line of the bodice. She wore a string of pearls about her neck. Mrs. Carr was in green velvet, the skirt, full across the back, being longer than in the front, with a wide fitted girdle of the velvef. The bodice hac. a deep cape- like collar of fine lace and she wore pearls and diamonds. = Mrs. Lee was in & white embroidered jusi-cloth gown with a handsomely em- broidered shawl about her shoulders.

'y all wore long white gloves, as did the members of the floor committee, and judging from the num- ber of long gloves worn by the ladies of the company, even to the debutantes, gloves have again become the fashion. Although white gloves predominated, there were many pairs of long black gloves, and Mrs. James Haley wore a steel-blue shade of undressed kid glove as a contrast to her black taffeta gown. A living valentine, set in a quaint valentine frame, was immediately op- posite the entrance to the ball room, and from her dainty setting Miss Mil- dred Huston, debutante daughter of Mr. Claudius Huston, gave to each lady a red heart box filled with marshmallows. She was assisted by Mr. Willlam N. Jardine, jr., who was also in Colonial costume. Miss Huston’s costume for the valentine was a dainty frock of tulle made in moderately narrow ruffles shaded from white to pale lavendar with ruffies over the shoulders. A band of deep purple velvet with long sash ends marked the normal waist line. Fairy wands in all colors of the rain- bow, each tled with gauze ribbon streamers in the same shades, and wee sleigh bells at the top, were the favors for all the guests. No boxes were rold, those who did not wish to dance the figure sitting to watch the picture. The wands were waved in mid-air dur- ing the march and the bells caught the rhythm of the music, while the lights were lowered and the scene was a veritable picture fairyland. Miss Barbara Vandenberg, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Arthur H van-| denberg, with Gen. George O. Squier, and Mr. and Mrs. Chewning, jr., led the cotillon. Miss Vandenberg's gown was of silver pointe d'esprit, the bodice fitted with square neck line and the skirt longer in the back than in the front, with flounces of the pointe dl'esprlt. She also. wore long white oves, Mrs. William Laird Dunlop, jr., who has done much to make thepngchelol’s' Cotillon a success, wore a gown of lace fashioned semi-fitted blouse with a full flounce on the skirt which fell into a short train in the back.
