The annual charity ban at the Opera
H0use Tuesday night was largely attended.
Perhaps upon no previous anniystdHtY of
this occasion was there such large repre-.

With palms AID formed an arbor retreat for
the reception OF dancers.
A fountain prettily illuminated In yari-
eolored electric lights threw its spray
around with picturesque and refreshing
effect. At either side of the progcenium tall
umbrella lamps with soft glow OF color
added greatly to the pretty and tasteful
spectacle Along tho balcony facade the
lsReId "Charity" In brilliant scarlet letters
Reminded everyone OF the worthy object
that prompted the gathering. The ladies'
costumes were extremely beautiful and as
tho groups OF dancers were seen from the
balconies contributed all that was neees-
BAry to make up the complement of attrac-
tive effect.
At 10 o'clock the lively measures OF the
old fashioned dance the ''Sir Roger de
poverly," suggestive of the times OF the
contemporaneous play OF the "Rlvals''
given only the evening before on the same
Moor by Jefferson and Florence, gave the
cue to the dancers and for the remainder OF
the night dancing was Kept up with uniiag-
cling zeal.
There were numbers OF guests from out.

Newark, Milford, New CASTLE ind other
points.
The opening dance, "sir Roger de Gov
arly," was danced by five seta, each chap
sroned and led by one Of the patronessea
OF the ball. The general animating effect
OF the quick movement of this dance was
heightened by the brilliant costumes OF thu
