The room, following the age-old tra

and behind the box of the chief of
naval operations and the major gen

were the flags of those officers. The
Navy Band Orchestra and a section
of the Marine Band Orchestra played
for the dancing and the floor from 10
o'clock until some time after the mid
night supper was well filled with
dancers, enjoying the excellent music
and the floor.
The Vice President. Mr. Curtis, with !
his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and j
Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, arrived
shortly before 10 o’clock and were es

with which she wore black slippers and
black gloves.
The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs j
Adams arrived early, the latter taking
her place at the head of the receiving
line, while the Secretary, escorted by
Admiral Butler, went to their box. Mrs.
Adams stood for some time with her
cloak, a pale violet velvet wrap with a
deep collar of sable fur about her, the
room being kept cool for the comfort
of the dancers. Many handsome eve
ning coats and capes were in evidence
during the early hours of the ball, par
ticularly in the boxes and in the row
of seats about the room.
