It was on his "specific re ; quest" that planners for the Jan. 1 21, event have planned "co ; equal" balls in four locations i three hotels and the National Guard Armory to ease the jam ! packed crush remembered all too well by President Eisenhower, at the last inauguration. But despite Mr. Eisenhower's intervention, there still is doubt in some quarters as to whether i the move will save formal gowns I from crushing: protect lightly j clad toes from tromping; or free I ball floors for dancing instead of ! elbow-to-elbow standing. I Ever since the first ball in 1309, when Dolly Madison tap ! ped her toes to gavottes and min- utes, inaugural committees have ! had difficulty in keeping attend ance within bounds. $12 A Head i There reportedly was just as much trouble keeping that 1809 j ball down to 400 party-goers 'at $4 a head as there was in j Y Knot Twirlers 'Announce Event Thursday Night Y Knot Twirlers will hold a square dance Thursday, Decem ber 27, at the YMCA with Doug Fosbury as caller.

December 21. 1S56 trying, unsuccessfully, to keep attendance at the 1953 ball down to 15,000 at S12 a head. Other obstacles have given the fair sex trouble through the years at the fancy dress events. A blizzard came to town along witn tne celebrants oi uranis second inaugural, and accounts of that ball relate that "ladies who braved the weather ignored all vanities and appeared in the warmest wrappings they possess ed." They kept their wraps on, incidentally, even on the dance floor. The threat of civil war at Mr. j Lincoln's first inaugural report edly dampened the spirits of "even the gay butterflies of a Washington season" for the ball that followed the sweariryj-in. In 1913, the ladies had no ball to enjoy and one report indicates it was his wife and not President Woodrow Wilson who called it off. The report claimed that Mrs. Wilson "could not bear the thought of modern dancing at her husband's inauguration." Historic Gowns But despite such difficulties, the fair sex always has centered planning around the premise j that "the gown's the thing." The First Lady's ball gown, besides being the center of attention on the gala night itself, also goes down in history. Showing all too well how ! fickle dame fashion is would be parade of the First Ladies ! cowns from Dollv Midison's buff-colored highwaisted velvet ensemble to Mrs. Eisenhower's 1953 full-skirted pink peau de soie, jewelled with 2,000 glitter ing stones. Mrs. William McKinley faint ed at the 1897 Ball. And her gown on display in the Smith sonian Institution still shows a black mark on the right side of the white satin skirt which was caused by her fall. Mrs. William Howard Taft re vived an Empire fashion at the 1909 ball. Her white silk chiffon gown, with high waist and long, clinging skirt, had been sent to Tokyo to be emboridered in a goldenrod pattern outlined by silver thread and crystal beads. AT 9:30 A.M.
