BRILLIANTLY and gloriously the head-dress ball given 
at the Oceanside hotel, Magnolia, last Friday evening 
by the Woman’s American Supply League with Mrs. 
John Hays Hammond as its president, has gone down in 
history as quite the most successful function that the 
North Shore has seen this season of 1916. The music 
of the dance has died away, the lights have failed them- 
selves, but the memories of the ball live and will live. 
So, too, will the radiance and sweetness of its sponsor, 
Mrs. John Hays Hammond

Ball, at Magnolia, 
AND BOSTON 
Mrs. Hammond leave an indelible imprint upon the hearts 
of all who had the pleasure of her smile. Twas this 
charming lady who espoused a noble cause, and who by 
her magnetic personality melted formality, and who real- 
ized a handsome sum for the little crippled children, suf- 
fering from the effects of the national scourge, infantile 
paralysis. 
The ballroom was beautifully decorated with gorge- 
ous gladioli and greenery, given and arranged by B. ‘Ham- 
mond Tracy of Cedar Acres, Wenham, which brought 
forth a deal of admiration upon all sides. The hotel 
orchestra stationed in the balcony furnished delightful 
music for dancing. 
With a loud burst of music at 10.30 the ball opened 
with the forming of a grand march lead by Governor 
McCall and Mrs. Hamomnd, followed by Prince Songkla 
arid Mrs. McCall, 
Lord Aberdeen and Mrs. John Wood 
Blodgett, Mr. Blodgett and Lady Aberdeen. After tak- 
ing their places in the centre box, receiving was in order, 
followed by dancing. 
Mrs. Hammond wore a beautiful Watteau gown of 
shimmering blue green taffeta with touches of. silver 
lace on bodice and inset in skirt, veiled with blue and 
flesh colored tulle. Her head-dress was a powered wig 
and shell pink rose and coquettish neck curls. Beauty 
patches added their charm. Her only jewels was a 
beautiful string of wondrous pearls, and she carried a 
Watteau fan. 
Lady Aberdeen’s gown was of rich Irish poplin of 
wisteria tones with trimmings of Limerick lace in cobwe) 
n-ttern, very delicate and beautiful. She wore her Vic- 
torian court head-dress, three ostrich tips of white held 
to a beautiful Limerick lace by a diarond pin. A dia- 
mond tiara and diamond necklace were her jewels. 
Mrs. John Wood Blodgett of Pride’s Crossing, who 
acted as executive chairman of the ball, was becomingly 
gowned in a creation of gold cloth with stripes of Nell 
rose, rose sequins formed ‘the bodice and a beautiful rope 
of pearls was her adornment. Mrs. Blodgett’s powdered 
tresses lent the tone of Colonial days. 
Capt. Rush, Commandant, Charlestown Navy Yard, 
with his officers in full dress uniform added the pleasing 
military touch. Count Reginald Ward of London was 
a notable figure, wearing his papal medals. August 
Benziger, the Swiss artist, and Count di Cellere, the 
Italian Ambassador, were other notables. 
Through the courtesy of W. 5. Warren, Jr., man- 
ager of the Oceanside, Mrs. Hammond’s appeal for as- 
sistance was responded to very generously in the’ use of 
the ballroom, music, refreshments and service of em- 
ployees. Keith’s vaudeville house at Boston sent Miss 
Mildred Maconber, poetic dancer, Van & Schenck, sing- 
ers, and four members of the theatre orchestra. 
One of the loveliest Colonial ladies at the head-dress 
ball was Mrs. George A. Dobyne of Boston and Magno- 
lia, who wore a beautiful black liverty velvet gown with 
princess lace and court train. Her powdered wig was 
very becoming. 
Mrs. Howard S. Lowry of Kansas City 
nolia was quite unique in a Holland lace cap. 
was of apricot chiffon satin with cream lace. 
an ostrich fan. 
Mrs. Charles Adams Potter of Philadelphia and 
Magnolia occupied Box K. Mrs. Potter’s head-dress was 
that of an Egyptian princess, a silver crown with veil of 
white lace. Her gown was of white embroidered net 
over silk with bandings of silver sequins.
