At the Charity Ball.


The charity ball given Tuesday night was
an annual affair gotten up by most Of the vart-
Gus church congregations in this city, which
have banded together and are known as the
lend-a-Hand League The bali was given 10
raise fund for young women and chiidren's
home, and it Is admitted TO be one OF the best
and most benevolent tasks that ladies can set
themselves to perform. Perhaps the reason
why the ball was not attended by more than 500
people was that many holders OF tickets did not
come. II is the general opinion that the recent
gay evenings spent during the month while the
exposition was open had satiated the music and
pleasure loving; also that the charity ball
should have been reserved till later in the fall
or winter. Besides, charity ball primarily
should be gotten up TO make money, and an
outlay of 500 for music in hard times, and
when charity is in need OF all the offerings that
can be raked and scraped together, is branded
bad financial move on the part of the
ladies. For tenth part OF that sum Ia
coma musicians could have been secured.
Then, too, charity begins at home.
The music, as furnished by Innes during the
concert, was equal to his well-known efforts,
but the dancing music was anything but sue
cess 1t was great social affair, but charity
did not reap anything like bounteous harvest.
Mr.. lines took away 500, and other expenses
would bring the total up 10 $500 At the price
at which tickets were sold, So each, between 30
expenses supper was delayed till 1890 d. IN,
and the ball concluded shortly after q. N.

by plants, Ehrubbery and flowers. About 30
