Bicentennial week in Washington and especially Monday, February 22, must ever linger in the minds of the citizens as its most momentous event since its foundation. Especially was the ball at the Mayflower a thing of beauty which must ever filter through the minds of those who saw it as a beautiful pic- ture. Then there was the pageant “Wakefield,” with its brilliant opening Bunday night, the All States ball Mon- day night and the dignified, beautiful ball of the New England States on the same evening and which carried with it MI‘S.
