Vanderbilt family and its alliance,
were however. N mourning and absent.
The opera boxes overlooking the floOred
q .chestra alls were of course filled,
but mainly by the nOuveau ricle, who
danced. and pretty much as the sultan
or Khed.ye looks upon the Nautch girls
whom they have hired to dance. Dear
me-" cried in his own language the
Shah Of Persia. when ne attended a royal
ball A. Buckingham Palace do all these
subieos Of Her Gracious Majesty do this
dancing voluntarily and without pay for
her amusementl The Charity Ball
was financially successful because the
manageresses Of it know how TO sell
tickets which gentlemen purchase out
Of pride and give to their bootmakers
and tailorS for family use. Can
banker CT broker or merchant resist
when some elegantly apparelled lady
s. cps from a grand coupe N front OF
his place Of business and begs him 10
purchase five or ten tickets to her Cnar-i
.ty Ball?
But society did have, last Tuesday
and last evening, two successful balls
for charity's sake, given by club bach
elors deiiantly in the face of leap year.
The first function was given by the dud-
ish bachelors OF the Knickerbocker
Club. who are known TO fash
ion and slang as the Debon-
mares: and the last named
function was managed by the gay young
bachelors of Calumet Club, known Off
handedly as the Cavaliers. The motto
of the one on the dancing programmes
was The Byronic line, "On with the
danca let joy be uncOniined.' The
motto OF the other was the cOuplet as
cribed TO the Princess Amelia of Re
gency times:
Untbinling, idle. wild and Young,
l laughed and danced, and talked and
sung.
WHITE. THE TOILETTE COLOR.
The public charity bali. and these
more private balls, emphasized the fad
of white being the fashionable color of
the season. Is not charity robed in
white? What more picturesque than
the white linen folds about the bonnets
of The Sisters of Charity? Does not
R0dman Drake, in his poem to our flag,
Use the words pure celestial white.
And Keat. in his AdOnis, inveigh
against the Life; like q dome of many
color-d glass, staining the white ra-
dance Of eternity: And Milton, IN his
COmus. refers to "Whlte-handed nope
And the poets only give us waited
eepulchrC" as q b9na. The bali flowers
were W2i'e. White bTocaoe aDounaed
in The Dali dresses OF the ma irons ana

William Aston was revelation in
white. because her traditional dress has
been black velvet. Us Ne" YORK
