The CALICO BALL.-The ball which was Civ
at City Hall last night, in aid of Preble
Chapel was decided success in spite of the
inclement weather; there were perhaps not
quite as many present as on former similar oc-
casions, but there were enough bright faces and
pretty costumes to give a most gay and festive
appearance to the hall. We cannot but deplore
the fact, that the good old custom of wearing
fresh, pretty calico dresses to calico balls, is
gradually dying out; but such is the case, and
noticeable feature of last evening was the num-
Der of ladies who danced in ordinary street cos
tune which gave the impression that they had
just dropped in for call, but finding ball in
progress had determined to stay and enjoy it.
The gentlemen were mostly in dress suits,
some few wearing checked or striped shirts, but
the greater number simply DOMINIC calico neck
les.
The dancing, although advertised to COM
mence at o'clock, did not begin until half-past;
but being once started it was kept up until a
late nour. The music for the evening was fur
nished in most acceptable manner by Chand-
ler's Band, which sustained its we'll earned rep
utation. The galleries of the hall were well
filled with spectators, who evidently enjoyed
the gay scene beneath them as much, perhaps,
as did the dancers themselves.
The reception room was filled with small Ia
bles. covered with neat, but inexpensive table,
cloths of white paper, from which the guests
partook of a most substantial, as well as elegant
supper, which was brought them by very pretty
waiter girls, who with their bright dresses and
coquettish little muslin caps, were the bellies of
the evening. When one remembers that all
this fun and good cheer was in aid of a most
noble charity, we think that all will agree that
it is a most fascinating way of doing good; and
remember ladies, next year we shall expect to
see you all in calico dresses.
