Gave Their Second Dance

Capital Feeling the Lenten "Gray" As a Calm Between
Two Storms Ball of Nations and the
x Easter Festivities of Army
and Navy League.

Washington, April 5. Washing-

the lenten "gray," which has previ
ously this year, been a real fallacy.
It is the case of a calm between two
storms, following the ball of nations
tnd preceding the Easter ball of the
Army and Navy league. There is
persistent dining and frequent supper-dancing,
with here and there a
dinner-dance at one of the clubs,
but otherwise the butterflies who
make society, and even the host
esses who keep" alive the official
gaieties, are having a resting spell,
with Lent and the absence of con
gress, as excuses. A steady stream
;' of tourists coming from and still
going to the south, keep the hotels
gay and full. Scores of the leisure
class are coming up from Florida,
staying a few days here and then
going on to the White Sulphur and
the Hot Springs.
With the high officials absent, the
succession of the presidency is em
phasized, as the first assistant sec
retary of state, Mr. William Phillips,
is now the ranking official at Wash
ington. The president being abroad;
the vice-president visiting in the
west; the secretary of state abroad,
and the counseUr of the State de
partment, Mr. Polk, at the White
Sulphur Springs, on vacation, the
next in direct succession is the first
assistant secretary. Mr. Phillips is
unquestionably one of the most ex
perienced, capable, cultivated and
charming men of the administration.
Strangely enough, he was first
placed in the State department by
the late Colonel Roosevelt, when he
was president He was then made
third assistant secretary of state,
afterwards being sent as first sec
retary to our embassy in London,
and from there, President Wilson
brought him back here as first as
sistant. Ball of Nations.

fox many weeks to come. Every one
of the allied nations was represented
at the ball, in the beautiful and elab
orate pageant, each nation being
sponsored by the representative
here of the sovereign or govern
ment. When the diplomatic diffi
culties were all overcome and every
thing seemed to be smooth sailing
there was almost a shipwreck on
the rockof precedence, which has
been a stumbling block to states
men and a wreck to diplomats, for
lo. these many years.
This time it was the South and
Central American countries who got
into a conflict. At the first dress
rehearsal for the pageant the heads
of: the groups all got excited. Some
of them even became hysterical, at
the idea of one of them having to be
preceded by what they claimed was
a much less important country. They
could not all enter together, and be
seea at one and the same time, and
the tactful manager of the Central
and South American group, Mme.
Zaldivar, wife of the minister from
Salvador, decided they should be
shown according to the precedence
observed in the official diplomatic
list issued by the State department,
those ambassadors and ministers
who have seen longest service here,
coming first in the order of their
recognition by the State department.
Before it was finally settled, one
beautiful South American lady who
represented s country naving an
ambassador here, almost gained her
point of precedence when poor little
Panama began to weep and retired
from the scene, tears streaming
pinkish tears, too, which were ruin
ing her charming complexion. Then
the other countries wept until Mme.
iaiuivar wisncu ncr nusuanu nau
never entered the diplomatic serv
ice of his country, so distracted was
she. They wrangled and wept, and
hatted their rehearsal, until a charge
d'affaires of one of the countries in
volved, arrived and read out the or
der nf nreeedence to the warrine na
tions, when the atmosphere cleared
up and everything was carried out
along those lines.
' The prize for the beauty of the
group went to Italy. Serbia was the
choice of the people, but the judges
were told that the Scandinavian
group had professionals in it, there
fore it was disqualified. Early this
(week the 'management decided to
nnll the Hitisf artinn and award
the prize where it seemed more to
"belong. There were no professionals
among the Scandinavians. The man
agement demanded the return of the
silver run bv Italv. and it was hand
ed over to Scandinavia and public
announcement made of the transfer.
, Fortunately " everybody was good-
natured and polite about the snatch
ing of the prize from one to present
it to the other, and anyway, more
than $5,000 wit realized for the
worthy charity and a beautiful spec-
sand people. Miss Ruth Hitchcock
