Fancy Dress Lends Color
to Many of Season’s
Most Successful Fetes;
French Embassy Dance
to Be the Climax
FANCY balls are having a
tremendous vogue in
Washington this season.
Early in the year the pic
turesque grand opera ball
brought to life heroes and
heroines of music drama. At
the more recent Assembly
Ball the costumes pictured

The Arts Club’s famous Bal
Boheme on January 30 will
be set in medieval splendor
and for ‘ ‘divertissements”
will have a revival of the
jousts of the Aliddle Ages,
comic and yet picturesque in
effect. Guests will be al

fancy in the choice of cos

the period chosen to give a
medieval cast to the entire
fete.

TW O more bis balls are in
prospect, which will have a
flavor of the picturesque —the
Madri Gras Bal Masque to be
given on the evening of February
17. at the Mayflower for the
benefit of the George Washing

Mrs. Henry F. Dimock as chair

THERE have also been many
private parties in fancy
