A personality around whom the ball might revolve was needed and someone suggested ebullient Elsa Maxwell, who was much in the new^s as an entertainer and amusing hostess.
But teaching old-fashioned parlor tricks to salon society was one thing; and being host to several thousand dancers and spectators in the huge Kansas City Auditorium, another. Elsa took one look at the assemblage, almost fainted. Committee members, for a time, felt they would have to
