GIRLS IN SALOME DANCE
Ib-aullful Women Vie in Seeklnjc of
Bizarre and TMquant Effect for
Oriental Trapplnjrx Men Are
Ireed Vp, Too.
SAN' FnANCISrO. Jan. it. tSp
clal.) A scene of Oriental splendor
more beautiful than any vetting erer
before attempted In the annals of lo
ral society and rlYallng- In Ita rich
beauty the deacrlptlona of the scenes
borrowed from the "Arabian Nights."
rreeted the 200 guests who were bid
den to Mrs. Templet on Crocker's bail
tonight at the St. Francis.
There were Just half the traditional
400 at the bail. There wen regal
robes, blx&rre. bejeweled trousers and
girdles prepared for the ocaelon and
they surpassed any costumes erer
worn at the dancing parties of the past
that occupy a place In local social his
tory aa brilliant affairs.
C Arc Eilratuiil.
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.
A feature of the ball was a Salome
dance by six young women attired in
fetrhlng costumes.
The Oriental ball had a setting wor
thy of the distinguished guests. Imper
sonators of the queens of antiquity or
the rulers of real or legendary realms
that have long since passed out of
time. The prosaic ballroom was trans
formed Into a place where royalty
might be entertained In a style befit
ting the pleasure of Kings and Em
perors. Mlalatare Palace Treated.
A Sultan might have reigned appro
priately In the miniature palace that
had been created within two daya at
the St. Francis. The celling of the
room was covered with rare Oriental
embroideries and almost forgotten
Kgyptlan and Persian designs of tapes
try. Around the walla were half curtained
alcoves heavy with Incense, where the
guests lingered between dances or re
mained seated on fine tapestries and
rugs brought from the land of luxury.
Here the Sultans, wtth their favorites,
and the picturesque company of Alad
dins. Cleopatras. Caliphs and other peo
ple of the Cast met for a social hour.
Swarthy attendants, clad In the fan
tastic dress of Asiatic principalities,
lurked stolidly in the pictures.
Feaatala Saggeeta Aiaasabra.
The center of the room was really
the place of extravagant beauty that
lent color and effective finish to the
scene. There waa a fountain with
myriad colored waters falling in a bril
liant spray Into a deep, cool basin, and
the suggestion was of the ancient gar
den of Alhambra. 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.
Mrs. Irwlaa Treaeera 11 ak.
Mrs. Crocker's mother. Mrs. Will O.
Irwin, flashed upon the guests -in Ori
ental trousers of coral pink, veiled with
a brocaded cloth of gold, worn aa a
tunic with breastplates, bodice and
broad girdle of turquoises, pearls and
sapphires. A coronet, one of the most
resplendent ever seen on the Pacific
toast, crowned her display of many
pieces of beautiful Jewels.
The hostess was regal aa Schehera
zade. 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. Breast
plates of pearls, brilliants and sap
phires and a flaming cerise sash com
pleted her costume.
Twrklaa Bride Mtrtklag.
Mrs. Arthur Cheabrough formed a
striking picture aa a Turkish bride,
liar full trousers of turquoise satin
were covered with chiffon trousers In
the same shade and her roatume waa
completed with an Oriental whlte-and-gold-spangled
coat embroidered In tur
quoises. Her head-dress waa a cap
of pearls embellished with a paradise
aigrette.
Mrs. Athole Mr Bean was attired 1n
an emerald green harem robe, with
flowing trousers of chiffon and satin.
In startling contrast was her white
aatln coat studded with Tarl-colored
stones and embroidered in gold. Her
Oertrude Hoffmann rap waa also of
white satin lined wtili emeralds and
set with pearls.
Mla Helen Cheabrough also wore
the rich robe of the harem, her attire
being of old rose satin with full flow
ing trousers of chiffon over mesaallne
and a bolero coat of spangled net. Her
sleeves, of chiffon, loose and flowing,
were held at the shoulders by bandeaux
of pearls.
ra. Aster la Oatdeae.
The rich, yet dignified attire of Mrs.
Terry Kyre. who declined to wear the
conventional trousers of the harem,
formed a contrast to the costumes of
most of the dancers. She appeared aa
Thais In a flowing robe of white Duch
ess satin, with a chiffon overdress.
Her belt and seata were of cerise satin
elaborated with spangles and Jewels
and on her head waa a crown of Jewels
to which was attached a flowing chif
fon veil.
Slew Are Dressed I p. Tee.
No masks were worn, but an effort
to be realistic aa possible was striven
for and the faces and arms of many
of the women were stained in rich
tints to harmonise with their apparel.
The men appeared to as good ad
vantage as their fair partners. With
the men. India aeemed to be the most
favored land for representation and
the Hindu was present In numbers.
From Mahouts to Maharajah, the fol
lowers of Buddha attracted unusual In
terest and were voted as richly ap
pareled as any at the party.
A well-known local physician ap
peared as Omar Khayam. As there'

Duchess of Connaught and Princess

"The Duke of Connaught's impres
sions of America." are given in consid
erable detalf In a "statement" prepared
while on his railroad Journey between
Washington and New York. Royalty
Is not allowed by court etiquette to be
quoted in the first person or to give
interviews, and the -statement" Is
therefore in the third person, one of
the Duke's aides acting as his proxy.
Part of the statement, as published
here today, follows:
"The Duke has been very much grati
fied with the reception accorded him
in New York and saya that they could
not have made more fuss over him if
he had been the President or the ex
President. "The Duke approves of the easy ways
of Americans and Canadians and does
not mind In the least being called
'Dukey,' as he is sometimes by persons
in the street. He prefers the demo
cratic manner to the stiff formality in
England.
Neat Wesaea Commented Oaw
"He also has noticed the neatness In
dress of the average woman in the
streets, the general air of prosperity
and the richness of the costume of the
society women.
"At a dance Wednesday night he waa
astonished at the vivacity and beauty
of the young women present and the
display of wonderful jewels. The Duke
had never seen such a collection of
brilliant gems at any court function.
The turkey trot.' which was danced in
a modified furm, amused the dis
tinguished visitor very much.
The Duke has not heard anything
about the King and Queen of Kngland
visiting the Cnited States when they go
to Canada, but he thinks they will want
to come after they have heard his ac
counts of the people, their warm wel
come and the Interesting things to be
seen in the L'nlted States.
"The Duke wishes It to be entirely
understood that his visit to New Tork
waa his own Idea, following an invita
tion given to him by Mr. Held in London."

WIFE NEAR BREAKDOWN
MRS. HOWELL'S CROSS-EXAMr-
NATION IS POSTPONED.
Husband Says 92 50 He Saved Her
on Business Deal Is All Money
She Has Given Him.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26. (Special.)
Mrs. Margaret Armstrong Howell, of
Spokane, was too ill to appear in court
today and cross-examination by her
husband's lawyers was postponed. The
condition of her health Is worrying her
friends. It is reported that practi
cally all the time she is In hysterics or
on the verge of prostration.
Fvery effort Is being mml" by her
friends to keep her mind off the guar
dianship proceedings and her marriage,
but their efforts are far from suc
cessful. Miss Howell, a niece of the husband,
George Howell, was placed on the stand
today to contradict statements of wit
nesses that Howell had been in a cer
tain restaurant in an Intoxicated con
dition. The niece is cashier in that
restaurant. She said If her uncle had
been drunk he would not have been
allowed to remain In the restaurant.
One witness testified that Mrs. How
ell told her that she had (riven Mr.
Howell $20 out of which to buy a pair
of shoes and that he had not given her
back the change. Howell then took
the stand again and said that his wife
had given him Just $250, which he
had saved her on a business deal, and
that it was all the money he had ever
received from her. ,
