| projectors hoped fora brilliant occasion. As
traditional as the cold winds of charity as q
saying has no meaning in Washington. The APP
peal made for the Children's Hospital meets
always with ready response. but last night it
did more than that. Most of those who bought
tickets went to the ball and added by their
presence to the social success of the evening.
After 10 o'clock the hall was SO thronaed that
all who would dance could not do SO Mt the
same time. The duennas making an imposing
Gordon of the room shared their honors with
the men and maidens between the dances and
during some of them.
The ball room was deliberately decorated.
The sailor boys had been busy at it all day and
their labOrs were appreciated by every one
commenting on the handsome appearance OF
the hall. The walls were hung with flags Of all
nations. the balcony Respondent with
streamers and had as a central ornament the
flag of the Secretary Of the Navy. The stage.
furnished with divans and chairs, had drapery
of flags and another of garlands Of smilax, in
which twinkled red. white and blue lights. All
the labor to make this pretty display was one OF
pure charity.
During the e,ening the dancers sat there and
completed the harmony Of the pretty picture
it made.
The Marine Band, stationed in the gallery,
played as the opening march new compost
ton by SiSnor Fanciulli entitled The Chill
dren." Among other numbers on the program
of twenty dances were a schottische, Amanda. ="
and ''Tenderloin," waltz, also composed by
the leader.
