The Charity Ball.

The verdict OF everybody who visited Masonic
Temple last evening was that the calico ball
there and then given for the benefit of the
Chldren's Hospital was one of the most elegant
and agreeable entertainments ever given in the
city, both In the quality Of attendance and the
general effect on the most fastidious eve. Very
rarely has there been gathered together any,
where so many picturesque and really beautiful
costumes, whether reference is had to the STYLES
OF the material selected or the tasteful and an
propriate manner in which il was fashioned in %
dresses appropriate for the occasion. Out of all
the ladies present, perhaps not more than a do
zen wore dresses of other than the prescribed
material, and these, rich, snowy, and elegant as
they were, actually suffered by contrast with
the more picturesque and gayer patterns and
colors by which they were surrounded.
The attendance, which, as intimated above,
was very large, included the best families resi-
dent and visiting here, and it is not too much to
say that all were delighted with the evening
throughout. Each committee had done its
whole duty, and every thing was done that could
be done to make the ball a success. The deco
raticns were magnificent; the supper thou Oh
very properly not an eXtravagant one, was am pie
ana we'll served the music was the best that
could be had; and everybody was in the best of
spirits. Consequently great success it was.
we are pleased to learn that the entertain
ment Will net quite handsome sum to the ex-
ceHent institution for which 1t was given aud
that the contribution of articles suitable for the
inmates OF the hospital was both large and yaIa-
able. Indeed IL is understood that the directors
are SO wen satisfied with the results of the affair
that they have determined to set apart the
evening ofthe first TuesJ Jay after Easter of each
year in future for a similar entertainment O.
