SOME OF THOSE PRESENT

Armory Hall and was in every way most
brilliant affair, equalling, if not eXcelling,
those of years gone by. The hall was beau
tifully decorated for the occasion, the walls,
which were draped with holly, offering an
effective background for the stunning cos
tunes Of the ladies. And the costumes
were Indeed handsome, this being the big
gest event Of the year in local Hebrew So
ciety, and every preparation was made to
insure It's complete success
The ball was formally opened at $50
o'clock, with the grand march, which was
led by Mr.. and Mrs. 1. L. Blout, and con-
sisted of more than hundred, young
couples. Mr.. Blcut was the chairman of
the executive committee, and as such a
very large share of the work and resonsi-
bility of tie ball rested upon his broad
shoulders. During the evening he was the
recipient of many hearty congratulations
on the al tistic and financial success which
had crowned the efforts of himself and his
fellow-con- -mitteemen. Among the most
sought-after of the guests of the evening
was Rev. DR.. Louis Stern, the pastor of the
Washington Hebrew Congregation, who
pleasant words and smiles for every one.
The music for the merry throng of dane
ers was furnished by an excellent orchestra
OF more than twenty pieces, and even be-
fore the grand march started the floor was
bright with the devotees of terpsichore.
Although there was a very large attend
ance of darcers and of older people who
preferred to sit around the edge of the
hall and look on, the floor was at no time
so crowded that dancing was interfered
with, and the young people enjoyed them
selves to their hearts content. About mid
night all adjourned to the lower hall, where
handsome and attractive supper was
served on scores of little tables. Later
dancing wa resumed and continued until
were loath to leave, so thoroughly delight
full had they found the annual charity ball.
