All of the officers attending will be in uniform and the military and | naval attaches of embassies and lega- { tions have all been invited and will wear | their uniforms. Polo togs carrying a blaze of gay color will be worn by members of the team and the ball room itself will be trans- | formed into a polo field with goal posts and other things which bespeak the sport, while the beau of the ball will be “Hunter,” the favorite mount of the chief of cavalry, Maj. Gen. Guy V. Henry. “Hunter’s” life reads like a romance. A veteran of the World War, he came through without a scratch. After the war, when the 3rd American Army oc- cupfed the Coblentz area in Germany, Gen. Allen, its commander in chief, rode “Hunter” on European polo and hunting fields.

After the war, “Hunt- er” came home across the Atlantic and was sent to Fort Myer, Va., where he is now finishing his long career. The meet- ing of the veteran American commander and his favorite mount at the polo ball promises to be one of interest. This dis- tinguished horse, which now belongs to the stables of the chief of staff of the Army at Fort Myer, Va., will be permit- ted to attend the polo ball as a reward for having been voted the best playing mount of the War Department string during the past season. He will view the colorful affair from a box stall equipped in a style befitting his coura- geous record of 19 years on both battle and polo field. Richard Tauber, famous Mozart singer, will star in five talkles, of which he will also be producer. THE PARROT 1643 Conn.
