DANCED FOR CHARITY.
A Ball for the Benefit of the HOmeo.
pathic Hospital.
T PROVED SUCCESSFUL.
Many Well-Known Society People Were
There in Spite of Carnival
Attractions.

full head above the labyrinth of events
last night, and once again the charitably
disposed social minionS recognized her
seductive call and responded gener-
ously. Surprising indeed was this,
considering that she played lone en-
gagement against the gay carnival,
artistic Clara Morris at the Grand and
other attractions of a novel and draw
ing character. 1t was the first char
ity ball given for the benefit
of the Homeopathic hospital, and
the arrangements for happy
evening were quite complete. Armory
hall is delightful place to dance, but
there is an absence of those ''Sweet, Sc
cluded nOokS," and quiet retreats that
the society devoteeS love so we'll. 1t was
merely large hall, and the various
company rooms up stairs were utilized
as dressing, reception and smoking
rooms. Consequently an air of formality
hung about promicuously. The decora-
tons were the same as those of the
Mardi GraS ball the evening before,
but the scene was somewhat different.
1t had been transformed from large,
groteSque costumes to the refined Soci-
ETY. dress. The faces have been seen
before, They are seen at every prom
inent social gathering in st. Paul, but
appeared no less attractive than usual.
Prof. Evans was the master of cere-
monies, and things moved smoothly I'M
der his guidance, ably assisted by James
L. Elmer. George Armstrong, Frank
Tatnall, W. W. Price and l.. C.. Wash
ington.
AS each lady and gent came in they
proceeded, after divesting themselves
of wraps, to the dancing floor, where
