One of the brilliant entertainments 
of last week in Washington was the 
costume ball Mrs. William F. Draper 
of Manchester, gave at her home on 
Farragut square, Thursday night, for 
her only daughter, Miss Margaret 
Preston Draper. The decorations 
were of the 18th century atmosphere, 
even to the quaint boquets on each of 
the supper tables. Mrs. Draper wore 
an empire gown of white satin with 
broad stripes of black velvet, and her 
daughter, representing a court lady of 
the time of Louis XV., was in pink 
and blue taffeta with white lace, both 
with powdered hair. Miss Helen 
Taft represented a colonial dame in 
pompadour taffeta and lace, and her 
brother, Robert Taft, a gentleman of 
the same period in brown brocaded 
velvet combined with golden brown 
satin and white lace. Miss Esther 
Slater, who is making her annual visit 
in Washington, Miss Julia and Miss 
Alys Meyer, Mr. and Mrs. James F. 
Curtis (Laura Merriam), Mr. and 
Mrs. Preston Gibson and Mr. and 
Mrs. Joseph Leiter were others among 
the 200 guests. Before the ball there 
were numerous dinners.

Not Quite TRUTHFUL. 
Most of us have seen fake adver- 
tising and perhaps marvelled at the 
audacity of the writers. Wonder has 
been expressed by us that the govern- 
ment did not stop it, but did it ever 
occur to you that the United States 
is also an offender in that respect?

ters seen in public places advertising 
the life of “ease and luxury” to be 
found in the United States Marine 
Corps. On these posters we see il- 
lustrated a life of care-free abandon, 
with apparently little real work, the 
nearest approach to it being to look 
serious occasionally when on parade. 
But the life of the average enlisted 
man in the Marine Corps is quite 
another story. He finds quite all the 
work he desires, and if he joins the 
service with the lithograph posters in 
his mind, he is due to have the illus- 
ion shattered sorewhat. Isn’t this 
fake advertising ? .
