who have devoted so much time and
energy for the past month to the
preparations for the charity ball must
have felt amply repaid last evening
for their efforts. Their success was
flattering in the extreme. Nearly two
hundred couples were in attendance,
so insuring the financial success of the
enterprise, and from social stand
point the ball was all that could be
desired.
An extemporized platform extended
from, the stage to the dress circle.
This was covered with canvas and
made an excellent floor for dancing.
At the south end was a raised stand
for the musicians which was draped
| in bunting. Large ported plants de-
corated the musicians stand as well
as various convenient inches about the
platform. The decorations were simple
but beautiful, and in perfect keeping
with the stage setting which was a
pretty woodland scene.
The music was by the Olsen orchestra
of ten pieces and was of rare excel
lence. Among the many beautiful
airs played were the Strauss waltzes,
Thousand and One Nights" "'Beauti-
full Blue Danube" and Southern
Roses" The WaldteufeI waItzes were
also given.
At o'clock the ball opened with the
grand march led by Governor West
and Mrs. M. G. Fox, followed by Mr..
Fox and Mrs. Mccormick, Mr.. and
