Large Event is PROMINENT.

Large Event is Prominent.
The event of the week in social circles
was the charity ball at the West hotel
Wednesday evening. This may be called
the real opening of the season in Mime
apolS, and other big balls will soon follow.
There have been the usual number of we'd
dings and small receptions, departures and
arrivals, but the meeting of the W. G. T.
i. and other societies has prevented much
of interest from taking place. Some prep
arations are being made for the holiday
season, but nothing as yet of pronounced
character.
The annual charity ball, given at the West
hotel Wednesday evening, was a complete
success and drew out large and fashionable
party. Over 1000 tickets had been sold, and
about one-half that number were present.
Col. John 7. West had donated the hotef and
supper, which left the entire proceeds for the
Home for Children and Aged Woven. The
entire parlor floor was given up to the gayety
of the occasion. Guests began arriving as
early as $3.50 p. m. and it was 1880 before the
last carriage had deposited its burden at the
hotel. In the parlors, cut flowers had Hastily
been disposed and here the board of lady di-
rectors held an informal reception during the
early part of the evening. The main dining
hall had been converted into a ball room, and
the DAM orchestra placed in charge, and the
strains of music quickly attracted in that di-
rection the brilliantly costumed throng that
filed the parlors and corridors. The dancing
programme was well arranged. and provided,
with the intermission, sufficient numbers to
last to l 80 a. N. Supper was served before
midnight in the ladies' ordinary, and without
being elaborate, was gotten up with the ar
tistic skill of an accomplished chef. The la
dies were satisfied with the result of the ball.
