THE EVENT OF THE SEASON.
Music, Mirth and the Dance
Reign Supreme for a
Brief Season.


joy themselves at ball given in the
name of charity, and as in all in
stances where there is good to be
done the most intense interest is
taken in these affairs, not only by
those who delight in the dance, but
by those who admire bright scenes
where youth and happiness play an
important part. For weeks past the
ladies' of this city have been actively
engaged in making preparations for
the event which took place in Armory
Hall last night, and as result one Of
the best attended and most bril-
liant balls ever witnessed
in this city took place. A glance at
the audience and those who partici-
pated convinced the onlooker that all
of social Los Angeles was present.
The hall was decorated elaborately in
Oriental design, under the direction
of J. Harry COnlan, free of charge. 1t
presented an appearance it never has
during the season or its history. The
hall and stairway were neatly car
peted with canvass, and every ar
rangement for the success Of the
occasion had previously been
made. 1t was early, when hacks
from every direction and by
the score came sweeping down
Main street and deposited their loads
of elegantly dressed gentlemen and
ladies at the foot of the stairway. At
$50 the hall presented a brilliant
scene, when nearly one hundred
. couples Joined in the grand
march. Such manliness or fairer
ladies may not be found anywhere
else than in 4arge Los Angeles
gathering, such as this. So much
wealth and beauty is seldom repre-
scented at any assemblage in any State
as here. 1t might we'll be said to be
the ball of the season, and such all
who participated considered it. Dan
cling commenced about half-past nine
O'Clock, and from that time on Terp-
,sichore reigned supreme.
