Rather than interfere with the Bal Boheme of the Arts Club of Washing- ton, which early in the season exempted the night of Pebruary 8, the Bachelors, an organization of society men which has already given two dances this sea- | son, postponed their cotillion until a later date. The White House reception to the Army and Navy also was sched- uled early, to take place the night of the 8th, and as no White House event is a movable feast, Gen. Horton, who is president of the Bachelors, had the date for the third cotillion changed to a later night, The Bal Boheme—the Seven Sras‘ Ball—will be one of the most luridly beautiful events the Arts Club has ever | given, and to break the monotony of & | down-stairs supper, such as has been | (Continued on Page 2, @olumn 8.
