MRS. MARTINS BALL.
Wide DiscussfOn of Rev. DR.. RAINS
fOrd'n DiSapprOyaI.

Wide DiscussfOn of Rev. DR.. RafnS-
fOrd's DisapprOvaI.
The action of Rev. DIR. Rainsford. rector
of ST. Georges Protestant Episcopal Church
in New York, in advising members of his
parish who received invitations to the mask
ball of Mrs. Bradley Martin not to attend,
is being widely discussed. Some clergy
men agree with Rev. DR.. Rainsford that
owing to this poverty prevailing this is not
a time for the display of wealth in such
manner Other churckmen say that the
question is one which Mr.. and Mrs. Martin
alone have the right to settle. These church
men argue that if the hosts see fit to spend
money in that manner 1t is their individual
right to do so and it is no ones concern to
interfere Many of those invited have has
tened to notify Mr.. and Mrs. Martin by
letter that they will surely attend.
The ball will be given February 10. 1t Is
reported that Mrs. Martins ambition is to
eclipse the fancy dress dance given in 1888
by Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, now Mrs.
o. H. p Belmont. At the time it was es-
timated that this ball ccst the hostess and
her guests $250,OOO In this is reckoned the
money spent for costumes, flowers hair
dressers and carriages There were a thous-
ard guests at the Vanderbilt ball As
much as $7OO was spent by one lady upon
her costume. The average expense. how
ever of ladies' costumes was about $50, of
gentlemen's about $175. These figures We're
based upon newspaper interviews at the
time with dressmakers and costume max
ers, More than a thousand invitations have
been issued for the Bradley Martin ball,
ar d its cost is put down at 100000.
