In an enchanting moonlight light- ingz effect the annual stately black and white ball, inaugurated several years ago by Mrs. William Laird Dun- lop, jr., for the debutantes of the sea- ®on, was given last night in the ball Tooms of the Mayflower Hotel. With ‘Washington's bouquet of rosebuds, in their most becoming white gowns, theri hair powdered or silvered and adorned with sprays of fragrant gardenias, and the popular bachelors in full dress with gardenia bouton- nieres the picture is each year one long, to be remembered and last eve- ning's fete did not vary from the rule. In addition to the white costumes of the young women who are making their formal debuts this Winter the other guests were requested to wear black and white and with but few exceptions they adhered to the re- quest. Each year Mrs. Dunlop adds a new feature to this charming ball of hers, and last night for the first time, trumpeters dressed in costumes of black and white sounded attention— announcing to the guests that the opening of the ball was close at hand. The debutantes of the season and a number of debutantes of other cities atood in line in the great ball room of the hotel to greet the guests. Senorita Alfaro Has Place of Honor.
