Of all the Easter festivities?and there are plenty of 'em?the Easter balls are perhaps of the greatest gen eral Interest. They are varied as to details and diverse in their appeal. Tomorrow evening, Easter Monday, the Robert E. Lee Chapter, U. D. C., will hold its annual Dixie ball at the New Willard. Its attendance will be drawn principally from the large con tingent of Southerners resident in Washington, with a sprinkling of dip lomats and official folk to add bril liance to the assemblage. And on Wednesday evening the Easter ball of the Women's Army and Navy League will be given?also at the Willard. Before the war this annual dance, which always brings out one of the most representative crowd* of the season, was given in the sail loft of the nary yard?picturesque but a bit uncomfortable. Of late, however, that has been unavailable and the dance haa been held uptown. In former years It was an Kaster Monday party, aTid probably this time It was put Off until Wednesday because the Willard had been pre-empted by the Robert E. Lee Chapter. Moreover, it was Just as well to avoid conflict with the Junior League party at Rauscher'* to morrow night. Too much competition wouldn't help any of these benefit balls. This Is the next to last of the Junior League's series of "small and earliea" ?the last one will be held on April 23 ?which have met with success be yond the dreams of the league mem bers. Held fortnightly through the season, these delightful little dances have been attended by the smartest element of the younger set and have netted a goodly sum which is to be divided among the local charities In which the Junior League Is Inter- ] csttd. Louise King and one of the J Denys girls are to be in the recelv- j ing line at the dance tomorrok, with j Mrs. Francis S. Nash to play pro- J priety. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Ellis will give a bufTet supper before the party, and Mr.i. Wade Ellis, the Misses Downing and Mrs. Sturtevaut will also entertain. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's name heads the list of patronesses for both the Dixie Ball and the Army and Navy Ball. There is even a faint hope--a very, very faint hope?that the Presi dent and Mrs. Wilson may be present on the latter occasion. It Is hardly to be expected, save that It Is the un expected one has learned to expect from the White House. For so far President Wilson has done nothing more exciting In the way of social Intercourse than take long motor rides with his wife and his doctor, and have an occasional old friend to lunch with him?the new Secretary of State and Mrs Colby are to have luncheon at the White House tomorrow, by the way. However, this is one of the balls which the Chief Executive and his wife have made a point of attending | in former years, when they were In town, and there could be no more fit ting moment for the President to make his reappearance In official so ciety than at this ball given for an "See Rli and See Hefter" Prestige and perlenee do not grow o v e might.
