Comi0U Charity Rail-


The Assistance league contemplates on
the evening of November 26th giving its
annual charity bail. This charitable Or
ganizAtion. composed of a number of
prominent ladies of Los Angeles, for the
past two years has dane great amount
of good to many worthy cases OF destitu-
tion that they find on the seamy sidc Of
our city OF flowers and sunshine. The
ladies have given food and clothing to
widows and orphans have found employ
ment for fathers with a family OF mother
less and starving children, have saved
young girls from becoming out;asts on
the street, and have found protection for
motherless and houseless waits.
With the profits procured from last
year, which amounted to some five hum
dred dollars, the ladies were able to con-
tinue their good work through the win
ter. The success of their ball was due to
the earnest and untiring energy OF the
different committees. to tho generous do
nations OF friends and the merchants OF
Los Angeles. who responded most liber-
ally to all calls. The ball of this year
promises to be even greater success
than the last, as the responses to solicl-
tations have been more than favorably re-
ceiveu. The attendance should BIZ twice
the mum Der it was before.
Most of tho large cities in the Union
have their annual charity ball. which is
the opening of the gay season, and IS
crowded with all the wealth, beauty and
fashion of the town. Here in our own
city we should be able to keep abreast
ano surpass in some cases, tn esuccess OF
other towns, with all the natural posi-
bilities our town can givv, It's abundance
OF flowers, palms, fruits and fair women,
giving great opportunities for decoration
and ornament to a brilliant scene. Ii one
does not care to dance the balcony con-
tains comfortable seats for those who
would like to watch the dancers, without
the necessity of appearing on the moor,
and who may also partake OF the elabo-
rate supper which will be served during
the evening without extra charge.
There will be q nun Der OF committees,
composed of the leading society women
OF Los Angeles, whose names always as
sure the success of any social function
which they undertake. An entertain
OF young married women and girls, whose
duty it will be to see that all guests are
made happy and comfoItabl and part
ners supplied to the unacquainted, in
every way endeavoring to make those
who otherwise might be bored enjoy the
evening in a charming and social way.
The ladies of the league appeal to the
public to work with them in this under
taking, to aid the misery and sorrow OF
suffering humanity, assuring each and
every one of u generous welcome.
