S “Tacky Ball” Last Night Resourceful [o} Spirit of Halloween Prevails at Dance for Debutantes. HE spirit of Halloween and that | of the gay nineties period pre- vailed last evening at the dance given at the Mayflower Hotel for the debutantes of the season. Mrs. William Laird Dunlop sponsored the party, which is given annually under the name of the “Tacky Ball” by the self-styled “girls on the shelf.” One might easily have thought he had stepped into a gay nineties party with all the costumes of that period and even those of an earlier period, going back into the Civil War and reconstruction period, with the im- personation of many of Margaret Mitchell's characters from “Gone ‘With the Wind.” The ryhthm of the colored orchestra playing old songs of the Civil War and gay nineties soon instilled a feeling of the olden days. The typical election ballot boxes into which the votes were cast for the most authentic and most amusing costumes were presided over by President Roosevelt, impersonated by Mr. Clarence Dodge, jr., and by Lan- don, impersonated by Mr. Smith Blair, jr. At midnight the guests were asked to remove their masks and make known their identities. A gay nineties drop was used as & background of the stage and the en- tire Italian garden was appropriately decorated as a setting for the barbe- cue supper, carried out in similar fashion to ones served at the Wilkes estate, around which Margaret Mitch- ell's story is woven. Mrs. Dunlop received the guests, with a group of the post-debutantes assisting. Miss Margaret McMullen, chairman of the Hostess Committee, impersonated Ellen O'Hara, mother of Scarlett, the main character in the book. Miss Mary Senate Howes, the “cabi- net” bud of the season, was chairman of the debutantes, appearing as Bea- trice Talterton, and Miss Ruth Dove, also of the debutante group, was among several Scarletts. Miss Henrietta Talbott came as Cathleen Calvert and Miss Margaret Sampson as Mrs. Sally Fontaine. Suellen O'Hara, portrayed by Miss Mary Agnes Young, and Miss Carrie Roper Fulton came as Melanie and Mr. Charles Thomas Clagett as Rhett Butler. There were Roosevelts and Landons and motion-picture characters. Among others attending the ball were Capt. James White, U. §. A.; Lieut. Sidney Wooten, U. 8. A.; Mr. Robert F. Kelly, Mr. Bruce Aitchison, Mr. Otis Wingo, Miss Gloria Gros- venor, Miss Bette Hartz, Miss Suzanne Kappler, Miss Virginia Randolph, Miss Hebe Reynolds, Miss Gertrude Pearson, Miss Henrietta Talbott, Miss Mary Agnes Young, Miss Martha Tal- ley, Miss Sally Mitchell Le Fevre, Miss Patricia Ridsdale, Miss Silvine Clagett, Miss Catherine McKane, Miss Florence Coffin, Miss Evelyn Elizabeth Radeker, Miss Vallette Sullivan, Miss Margaret McNeal, Miss Polly Wirg- man, Miss Jean Gilbert, Miss Eliza- beth C.
