JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
Nancy Wynne Attends tile Victory Ball She Hears of the
Return of Captains Chestpn and MacSherry and of Lieu
tenant Daniel A New Ball Looms on the Horizon
WKLV, my anticipations In leuard to
last night's bnll were not oxaRgorated.
It was one of the most beautiful affair
T have attended for many a Ion day. Tha
tableaux weio truly magnificent. Such
Bood-looklnp women and courtly men, and
the costumes of the guests! Well, my
dears, you were most of jou there, and
ho lou saw them, too.
Wasn't It Inspiring to see the wounded
men7 And aren't they game? "No, Indeed,
keep your seat; I don't mind standing,"
they would say as they supported them
selves on their crutches, and jo felt us If
you almost had no right to two whole arms
and two- legs. They Just hate to be made
heroes, don't they?
Some of the costumes were the deatcst
things I have ever seen. Edwlna Ilruner
Wethorlll's, I think, stood out rrvpre than
any. She was one or the ngures in me
foregiound in Madame Flush's tea part
You knew. Edwlna Is very tall and has the
most worderfut golden hair which rlpplei
naturall as If It wero inarcclcil cvciy day
(and I know for a fact that It's never
waed). She wore a hoop sklit, cowicd
with the loveliest gieen silk, on the wide
hem of the skirt being 'little bows and
floweis in self co'or. The bodice was the
long pointed one of 1860, and the decollet
uge was cut straight across the shoulders
.and neck and was llnlshed with a bertha
of exquisite lace. In her hair were thiee
or four tiny pink rosebuds.
Mrs. Chaillo Willing had unite the
largest leghorn hat It has eer been m
experience to see. She was seated In tlin
striped chair In the tableau 'Tlower Mar
ket of the Revolutionary dajs." Mrs. Blllle
tteeves was in that, too, and her frock of
lemon-colored silk. She had the most e
qulslte little headdiess of fine embroidery
and tiny rosebuds, and with her dark hair
thb effect was simply perfect. Both Hannah
andMargare. Wright were lovel Hannah
In a gteen frock with rich embroidery and a
watteau shepherdess hat trimmed with
pink, a'nd Margaret In a flowered frock
oer n hoop skirt and with the daintiest
wieath and dingly grases around her
' head and back of her euis.
Hope Beale Cromwell's frock was beau
tiful. It was pale lavender brocade flow
eied and vas edged with silver lace. It
was a bit too long, so phe had difficulty in
dancing later.
Gretchen Clay's gdwn at "Mrs. Bushes"
was Just sweet, and she looked handsomer
than I had ever seen her. It was one of 1
hose semi shoit walsted dresses of melon
pink and had a tiny band of deep-green
velvet about the waist as a belt. Her hair
was parted and she wore lone green Jade
earrings. The touch of red in her hair
and the green of the earrings was simply,
ravishing,,
Mrs. John Converse wore a lovely flow
eied, pannlered gown and watteau shep
herdess hat .Ml these frocks were In
the tableaux and the women danced In
them at the ball afterward. Scaicely any
of the guests wore costumes, but the gowns
of the present day were simply goigeous.
Catherine Coxe, however, woio her moth
er's wedding dress, an old-fashioned
evening frock, with the high back, low
square front, tight sleeves und huge bustle.
Her train was so long she could not man
age it to dance. 11 was the loveliest old
, creamy silk, having jellowed in the twen-tj-flve
or thirty jeais since It wasimade.
Catherine's delicate face, with Its perfect
features and lovely coloring was a picture
In itself. I have seldom seen any one look
lovelier.
Altogether It was absolutel successful
fiom start to finish, and the women who
got It up deserve .all .he ciedlt In the
world for making such a beautiful affair.
The Governor made a. very inspiring
speech and the gcneial dancing began,
after a most wonderful dancf by the Indian
Chief and Princess White Deer.
RETURNING fathers are having quite a
time this week inter lowing infants
they have not sen. Bless ou, there's
Captain RadcllfTe Chestoh, Jr., for in
stance. You know he returned last Sun
day on the Leviathan. He has a small son
eight months old whom he had not seen,
for small Radcllffe, 4th, was born In July
after the captain had left for the other
side. Mrs. Cheston was Sjdney Ellis, you
temember, a daughter of the William
Strutters Elllses.
Another father who was veiy-happy to
' ' see his small sou for the, first time is
" Captain ulclard MacSherrj. 1 thlpk the
v ( MacSherry baby is neaily seven months
old, but I am not sure of his age. lies a
boy, too, an'1 a perfect lamb. Mrs. Mac
Sherry was Miss Dorothy Wilbur, a daugh
ter of the Rollln Wilburs, a. d she and the
baby have been living with the Wilburs
until Captain MacSherry's ieturn. He ar
rived home on Tuesday of this week and
had to make friends with the new small
son, as did Captain Cheston.
Still a third happy father to see his
little boy for the first time is Lieutenant
Channlng Daniel, who leturned from over
seas last week. He Is still under hospital
care on account of the injury to his ami
and has not been discharged from the anny
as yet. He is stationed at Camp Meade
and has been able to come home and see
his wee son, who brags of two months as
to age. His name is likewise his father's,
r"tiflnnlnr W T)nnll. .Ir- Un TVunt1 vi
f will remember, was Katherine Veiner.
It's such a pleasure to be able to wilte
. s of the happ things for the returning men,
. isn't it? It's so good to have them home
once more.
WITH the Victory Ball a thing of. the
past, we can look to the party week
after next, which is to be very enormous
''and will take in the whole of the Bellevue
Stratford's balhoom and dance room space
for the evening. It's to be tha Bull Tri
umphant, but it's not to be a costume
affair and the tickets will cost one-tenth
of the price of the Victory Ball; In oilier
v "fiords, "one bone."
This secend affair, the women of the
Emergency Aid tell me, Is but a link in
-k the chain. (Now, doesn't that sound too
poetical for an thing? I'm Just crazy
'l about that) To continue Jinking: 'tis but
a link in the chain that is being woven into
the-grpwlntr fund for the Victory Me-
mi&fcL Jhlt mwWitijn, 'Vim vw be
dancing in the balhoom, .Ijnlor Rooms,
Rose Gardens, Clover and Red Rooms, and
there will have to be, naturally, any
amount of orchestras, and I understand
there aie to be specialty dunces and all
kinds of "talent." Some paily, say 1.
