THE PURIM CHARITY BALL.
HEBREWS GIVE A BRILLIANT AFFAIR IN
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.

The feast OF Purim celebrated in fitting man.
ner last night by the leading Hebrew families OF
New-fork who gathered In force at the Madison
Square Garden for the annual charity ball OF the Purm
Association. In aid Of the United Hebrew Charities.
IT was the thirty second annual BALL For years this
ball was Of fancy dress character but for the last
Lvo years the gay costumes have given way 10 the
conventional dress Of society, and the ball has been
conducted after the fashion OF the annual charity ball
for the Nursery and Chld's Hospital.
The amphitheatre last night had new and fresh
decorations. The upper balconies were screened of
with rich draperies Of crimson CLOTH the same that
were used at the Charity ball OF January g. a de-
cided Improvement was made by the addition of white
and gold drapcries which conrastcd most accepably
with the rather dark background. From the dome
depended many streamers OF white and yellow which
were attached TO the supporting columns Of the roof.
At no other time in the history OF the Garden has the
floor been so effectively arranged a hollow square
was formed by series Of white pcdestals on which
rested beautiful palms. thus leaving wide space for
the promenaders and plenty Of for the dancers.
a drop curtain cut Off about one third OF the floor
space, forming temporary proscenium arch under
which was erected platform which massed with
palms. behind which were stationed two orchestras.
