NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 17 
I nolia came to a climax on Saturday night at the 
Oceanside ball. With opening-opera-night splendor the 
foyer, the verandas and the big ball room revelled in the 
sumptuous gaiety of the assembling of famous voyageurs. 
Fashion began early in the day whipping groups together 
for dinners in cottages and clubs and at the hotels, and 
merrily drove the throng along in big motors to arrive at 
the Oceanside doors at nine. Fashion began earlier than 
the day of the ball, however. The monarch succeeded in 
reaching his followers in every land that they might be 
represented. The Imperial Ottoman Empire accepted in 
the distinguished and brilliant person of His Excellency 
the Ambassador Youssouf Zia Pasha. His daughter-in-

Miss Carrie Fellows, and is now one of the most import- 
ant international hostesses.

the guests. Marquis Cusani Confalonieri, minister from

and made in the extreme dernier hip flounce cri.
