SOCIETY NOTES 
For the ball held last Friday night 
at theWhite House in honor of Miss 
Helen Taft, the east room was en- 
larged by the building of a small 
wooden house outside one of the 
windows for the accommodation of 
the Marine Band orchestra, which 
furnished the music. This gave con- 
siderable more floor space for danc- 
ing than at previous White House 
balls. Several hundred young peo- 
ple glided about under the massive, 
ereen-festooned chandeliers. Among 
the guests were Miss Louise Taft, 
daughter of Charles P. Taft, brother 
of the President, who, with her 
father, had arrived as a White 
House guest. A number of Miss 
‘Helen’s college chums and friends 
of her brother Robert were at the 
dance. Beautifully banked in the 
green and red rooms were vases full 
of rich roses which the Christmas 
season had brought to the White 
House. Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen 
received the guests in the blue room. 
A buffet supper was served after the 
dance.
