Social Life of Capital Has Been Active One ‘Washington, Feb. 11 (P—Wash- ington society cut some gay pranks this week, ranging from the fancy dress ball at the French embassy on through a series of interesting epi- sodes such as only the capital can produce. Weeping hearts were left to those who could not attend the second empire ball at the embassy when the ambassador, M. Paul Clau- del, Mme. Claudel and their two |daughters turned back to Napoleonic days for thelr splendid costumes, and court ladles and gentlemen danced with jesters and ladies whose historic names once brought a blush to the cheeks of the discreet mem- bers of French soclety. Many of the 300 guests sent to Paris costumers for their garb while others trusted New York and Phila- delphia deaigners to be true to the period. The ambassador wore an elaborate costume which was only rivalled at the ball by that of Mme. Claudel and her daughters. Special characters of the period were not portrayed excepting a few instances, that most brilliant period being rep- resented in a general fashion. The exquisite French drawing rooms gave the metting and there ‘Wwas no speclal effort at a tiresome program or pageant of which society has had a surfeit this season. The two French fllers, for whom the ball was really planned, Lieut. Comman. der Joseph Lebrix and Lieut.
