ANOTHER BALL PROTECTED.
Last night's ball may also be copsid-
cred success financially; in that n did
not exhaust the amount subscribed. The
subscriptions foot up about 1925; which
leaves surplus in sight OF some $50.
It has been proposed to make up enough
to add to this surplus to give another
ball, in the dining room of the Capitol
Hotel.
There never was legislative ball that
gave more general satisfaction than that
Of last night. This makes the idea to do
it again catching one. Something
should be said about the array of
beauty beautifully adorned that the
occasion broaeht together. Conspicuous
among woarers OF ravishing toilettes was
Miss Mamie Carter, attired in dress of
brliinut crimson cleaning through snowy
Lace. two beautiful skaters, Mrs. Charles
u. Horn and Mrs. L. X. Bowen, the for
mer attirei in white, with lavish loonings
and trimmings OF orange ribbons, also
attracted much attention. Miss Amy
Biggs, daughter Of W. p. Biggs and niece
OF the governor, made another charming
picture. Dover turned cut some very
pretty girls and Wilmington added its
| quota of female loneliness. The music
OF Ritchie's band came in for universal
praise.
