at the last moment. The dance at Sherrys the
first OF three arranged by Mrs. w. W. Astor Mrs. A..
belmont tr., Mrs. Adrian Isen. r., and Others who
accomplished what many have been trying TO do
for years-make early hours The dance was
well under way at 10 O'Clock and by O'Clock nearly
every had gone. The cotillon began before
supper, August Belmont, ir, leading but the favors
were not distributed until afterward The ballroom
was especially commended in point OF venulsuoh
and acoustics. and the beautiful design and hangngs
of brOcade much admired. The supper was
served in two handsome rooms finished in wmte ana
gold of Louis XVIth design. Landers orchestra ana
the Hungarian band played for dancing alternately.

saturday nights is to less formal but none the less
enjoyable and will be more OF uahcue CIdss lor
young married people.
The Charity Bau suffered in consequence Of the
dance at sherry's, both coming on Tuesday, though
doubtless the New Years Ball affected it somewhat.

away so that the procession of managers was ex-
ceedngly small 1t was rather pity to have the
early dance on the same night but the ladies who
organized il lad to take that date
or give up their idea altogether. Probably
$4,000 was cleared against S12 900 at last years
