Natalia And possibly 250 personages wearing costumes that Utted absolutely into a picture wilier, reproduced fete day scenes from on of the most stately and beautiful in French history. DECORATIONS A theatrical agency furnished "proper lighting" for affair.

Professional singers iu the "gypsy" dress of Louis XVI's clay interspersed the" smoothly moving, program with quaint chansons. Great garlands, of laurel studded with gay flowers, swung from the mirrors, while, ceilings screened with living greon dotted with bright blossoms and orange trees interpolated a splash of exotic color. The blackamoors, in the livery of the of the last Louis, appeared us train-bearers, while ragadons and gigues danced for the of gorgeously apparelled "Madame la Princess" and "Madame la Duchesse" and their cav allers. Then followed the cour. dances.

The young hostess, Miss Hammond, eschewed her familiar daily vogue--the little lady is quite noted for her boyish bob -ind her smartly tailored outfits-in' favor of a splendid costume of yellowish pink taffata set over a coat of soft blue chiffon and completed by a sweeping train silver cloth garlanded' -like the -own' itself with taffeta flowers sparkling with crystals.

Hammond was regal in her crystal-embroidered robe of iiosc to'ne, completed by a train of rose-red velvet lined with silver tissue. Rubies and diamonds and long pendant earring's arid a high coiffure on the head with roses and paradise plumes as embellishments completed a- perfect costume. i But the Hammonds' M-ane Antoinette ball would take a day to describe in toto.
