tashA4 AtAos u4Elli. All ha1 Jbf hht iAANAA y
ment, happy faces and bright eyes were on
every side, and pleasure held undisputed
sway.
Never before in its history was the ca
poclty Of the hall so severely taxed. Gay
dancers were there by the score, while tho
older and more staid could not deny
themselves the pleasure of taking peep
at the bright scene if only for moment.
The ladies Of the Hebrew Benevolent As
sociation were radiant. For weeks and
months they had lnbored with tho one idea
TO make this their Charity ball the affair OF
the season, and perfect success had
crowned their efforts.
NOT FORGOTTEN.
Only one shadow was thero in the eve
nlne's cayety and that was that an unus-
ually large numbcr-emong them two who
had labOTed hard in behalf Of the enter
talnment-were prevented from attending
by recent aiilistions in their families.
These latter were Airs. Harris, who at the
beginning was chairman OF the Executive
committee and who IN person superln-
tended numerous details until the sudden
death of her husband two days before the
bail was originally 10 have taken place, and
on which account il was pOstponed; and
Hon. William Lovenstein, who was TO have
acted as master of ceremonies and wlo
was kept away by the recent death OF bis
wItes mother.
TIE DECORATIONS.
knowing that every inch of room in the
hall would be needed, II was deemed 0d-
YisaDc not 10 use hung plants for decord-
tive purposes.
Immediately over the stage was the word
Charity in large silver letters sur
mounted by an arch of evergreen from
which were loopcd several massive festoons
OF the samo material. The bright light
shining on this made it very effective.
STEMS full orchestra WAS located IN the
gallery and sent forth strains Of music suf-
iicientiy dreamy to tempt the most prosaic
into es5aying his Terpsichorean quallhca-
tlops.
THE BaLL BEGINS.
There was the usual preliminary twanG-
Ing Of the violin-strln2S, aud the corncts
were tested. Suddenly oil the musicians
chimcd in together. and NleSaDd's Phlla-
dephus" march was being rendered IN
superb style.
The signal was not misunderstood, and
in a few minutes the intricacies Of the
opening march were being executed by
hundreds of dancers, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
Cohen leading the way.
In short while this was merged into
the lanclers. which in turn was followed 10y
SIX other dances, when there was an inter
mission.
During this recess supper was served on
the stage under the supervision of Caterer
MOesta.
After this there were eight more dances,
each of which seemedtO be enjoyed httle
more than its predecessor.
