B—3 t By the Wa y_, Beth Blaine =t HAD it not been so0 beastly hot last evening one might have thought, upon entering the Maydower, that it was the very height of the Winter soclal season. Even the approach to the hotel showed definite signs of gayety and excitement, for the streets were lined with policemen all apparently busy look- ing after the thousands of delegates to the Third World Power Conference who were entertained last night at a gala reception and ball. ‘With few exceptions every member of the diplomatic corps was present, each one just about smothered with decorations. The ball room looked very festive, too, with boxes both upstairs and down, decorated with the flags of all the nations represented. The general consensus of opinion seemed to be that the women were extraordinarily attractive and well dressed—which one must admit 1s not the impression usually created by a group of “convention women.” In spite of the fact that nearly every boz was fliled, the ball-room floor was crowded continuously and the visitors seemed thoroughly to enjoy dancing to the music of the Marine Band—whose members lent another cheery note to the scene with their red coats and bright gold braid. _ Peering about at random one glimpsed in a box in the balcony the Trucco sisters, daughters of the Chilean Ambassador, looking soignee and chic as usual; the Netherlands Minister in another box taking the utmost care of seven of his countrymen, who are delegates to the conference; the Belgian Ambassador, looking exceptionally well after his Summer vacation, also worrying a little about his countrymen; Mrs. Campbell Prichett, very attractive in a lovely black net dress and being most efficient with an impor- tant badge pinned to her shoulder on which was inscribed “Committee,” and Mrs. Dougherty, a bit exhausted with the terrific heat and the responsi- bilities with which the chairman of an Entertainment Committee is confronted, In another boxr was Mr. William McClellan, bearing up remarkably well considering all his hard work in conducting such a tremendous function. With Mr. McClellan was Mrs. Robert Whitelaw Wilson, at- tractive niece of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. Mr. Wilson was unable to attend last night’s ball because of strenuous preparations for the coming banquet in the Union Station. Judd Thompson, as well as Mr. Wilson, a representative of the Potomac Electric Power Co., appeared during the evening, followed shortly by Walter White, Mary Cowles, Katy Fechet and Bill McComb. Mile. Marie Therese de Laboulaye was dancing about, looking very sweet in a most lovely flowered crepe dress with a bright red and green scarf about her neck. Caroline Thompson seemed to be enjoying herself thoroughly with Jack Simmons and his brother who is one of the delegates. The guests wandered back and forth from the ball room to the cocktail room—which was jammed to overflowing. There we saw Commissioner Hazen sitting at a table with the Sidney Taliaferros and several gentlemen oute standingly bedecked with medals of all sizes and shapes. Others who finally | managed to get a table in the air-cooled spot were the Royce Powells, Mr. Gano Dunn of New York, president of the J. G. White Engineering Co., an¢ Mr. Prank C. Jones of the Okonite Co. and president of Nema. Standing in the middle of the crowd ome heard almost every language being spoken—French, Spanish, Italian, German—Iots of Ger- man it seemed—also Japanese, and, incidentally, one of the most at- tractive persons there last night was a young Japanese girl dressed in the loveliest pale blue kimono with a most beautiful obi, There are still more functions for the delegates and one can't help but wonder how they cope with everything which has been planned for them. After all, their days are fairly well taken up with meetings of great ime portance to the development of power in their respective countries.
