The gowns of Turkish and Egyptian design, each with Its legendary history of romance, were said to be more at tract Ire in their rarlety and eztrara gance than the fantastic creations that hare appeared In recent seasons In London and Tarla and In the capitals of fashion on the Continent. The ball Is said to have surpassed the celebrated affair given by Mrs. Crocker's cousin. Mrs. Jack Gouroud. In New Tork not long ago.

Tail palms and rare exotics were a part of the fountain and garden arrangement different from any schema of decoration ever attempt ed In an occidental ballroom. The atmosphere of the Orient not as it is today but aa It has existed In the Imagination of poets and story tellers, pervaded the fanciful world Into which Mr. and Mrs. Crocker invited their guests.

Her mauve pantaloons were em broidered with gold and silver thread. Sapphires and pearls woven into a sort of harness covered the dress, and from her coronet there fell to her bejeweled ankles a veil of sliver in a suggestion of the flashing scales of a fish.
