Gallanlry-The Poor Looked Alter.

The much talked Of and long ex'
peeted charity ball, the proceeds of
which were 10 be turned over 10 the
Relief Association for the benefit Of
the poor aud destitute IN our midst,
came oil on Friday night
Everything was proplllous, aud II
WIS u social and financial success,
There were good many not there
who ought 10 have been, hut whose
uncertainty perhaps about their own
position renders them morbldly sensl-
tive about helng seen NJ n charity ball
fnr fear that their delicate reputation
might suiltr from the effects, So great
was their fear that the thing was going
10 he "foarmlly mixed" that rather
than run the risk Of being contaml'
mated hy The possible presence IN the
room Of some person who was not
exactly In their "set, - they stald home,
saved their two dollars aud were happy
In the consciousness Of having escaped
contact with people quite rs good ~
themselves, whom they look down
upon as "yulgah, you know, you
know
On the other hand there was large
assemblage Of some OF the incest people
In Dallas, whose positions In society
being known aud fixed, are not 80
anxious about themselves, md 80 went
aud enjoyed themselves hugely, aud
had the satisfaction of knowing that
they were not only fulfilling their
duties, but that their regulations In
this world aud their salvation In the
next, hadnot been endangered by their
enjoyment of n public ball.
