THE MACS GALA Night.
Never Before Was Such a
Gathering Seen in
jersey City.
DAZZLING SCENE OF COLOR.
Politicians and Pretty Women
Made the Dennis Mclaughlin
Association Ball the Success
Of the Season.
Were you at the ball last EVENING"
No. what halla


No, what ballf
Nonsensel l thought everybody was at
the McLaughlins' inaugural Well, IL
you were not there you missed the big
gest ball ever held in this county.
That's what everybody says. / never
saw such jam at Pohlman's.
Who were therci Well, you're asking
too much. Every politician who is in the
swim and as many more who are trying
to get in were there. Every county and
municipal department was represented.
or rather the departments themselves
were there.
Ogden avenue and the opening in front
of the hotel were blocked with coaches.
The great pavilion with Its polished floor
wouldn't accommodate one-half the
dancers. The upper ball room was
crowded too. In fact every room in the
building. the Railways and stairways
were thronged all night
With politiciansi
Oh, no. Not all. never saw so many
pretty women in pretty costumes at Pohl-
mann's before. And the decorations of
the two bail rooms were a study In
aesthetics. In the upper hall graceful
streamers fecked with tinseled stars fes-
every State in the Union were woven in
the national decoration OF the walls. In
the lower pavilion bewildering array Of
colors entwined the pillars and beams
overhead. But 1t was the costumes Of
fair women and the fair women them
selves that impaired such brilliancy to
the scene. Bright eyes. rosy and smiling
faces and delicntely tinted fabrics were
everywhere. and they impaired a shifting.
Kaleidoscope aspect to the glittering
picture.
