The Navy Relief Society aids | the families of the enlisted personnel of that branch of the service, the Marine Corps included, and is not a member of the Community Chest in any city. ‘The Stars and Stripes had the places of honor in the ball room and signal flags and those of various branches of the Navy and Marine Corps were hung from the ceiling, and behind the box of the Secretary of the Navy the admiral of the Navy and the As- sistant Secretary, as well as the com- mandant of the Marine Corps, hung their individual flags. Added to. the colorful decorations were the brilliance of the Navy and Marine Corps dress uniforms and the bright colors of the women's gowns. The Marine Band and the Navy Band alternated in play- ing for the dancing, which was almost continuous. ' “The Harbor,” an innovation for this ball, was & popular “haven” for the “stormy” dancing floor, and there the dancers rested and were refreshed, a group of matrons from the Navy circle serving the cocktails.

Standey, wife of the chief of naval operations; Mrs, John H. Russell, wife of the major general commandant of the Msrine Corps,and Mrs. Joseph H.
