Word to Be Passed Around
Advising Young Ladies to
Attend.
Ball to Be Gwen at the Mark Hopkins
Institute Undsr the Auspices
of the Art Association.

The San Francisco Art Association did
not make any money to speak of by the
Mardi Gras ball of last season, but the
affair was such a triumphant social event
that another ball will be given this season.
Last Saturday the president of the Art
Association conferred with quite a num-
Der of leading ladies in society-the
mothers of promising "buds''-and
established favorites. They gave the
proposition the stamp of their unqualified
approval. They suggested that the price of
ticket for gentleman should not be $40
as it was last year, but ought to be re-
duced to So. The ladies entertain the idea
that many of the young gentlemen in the
social swim are not in position to easily
afford $40 for the pleasure of the event,
and in order to encourage their attendance
the tickets should not cost more than half
that sum.
These ladies with whom the president
talked have had ion experience in social
functions and their assured patronage is a
guarantee that society will attend the
Mardi Gras ball. Word will now be passed
along the line of youth. beauty and grace,
that a fetching fancy costume will be the
proper thine, If young iady's fancy runs
that way.
The proposition will be subm tilted to
the trustees of the Art Association at
their next meeting and some well-known
member of the board, perhaps Joseph D.
Grant, will be authorized to take charge
of the affair.
from the masquerade all OBJ iectionable
characters. The ladies impressed on the
presidents mind the necessity for special
vigilance in this respect
The trustees fancy that if Mr.. Grant and
the president are appointed to assist the
ladies in directing the function no one will
get inside the Mark Hopkins Institute
who ought not to be there
The trustees will assent readily to the
reduced price of admission recommended
bv the ladies.
