may as well be showed and not taken
down until some enc wants 20 buy them
A complaint has been made that society
will be 100 busy with holiday preparations
and eajoyTneats daring December 70 taxa
advantage OF the pleasures q the ball
and d society woman has answered that
By saying: And what IS the Charity ball
IL il is not among the holiday pleasures
II Is during the holiday rush that society
should welcome the ball They do not
want the holiday weeks 10 be slow; they
cIamor against stupidity during those
DAYS when every body Is supposed 10 be
happy and on the so night and day. They
want something TO keep Up the excite
ment. They are aware that Christmas
and New Year hours will soon Be over.
and that then they wfll be asked 20 step
out Of their gay clothes and robe them
selves in black, and pray. and eat spar
ingly. and put aside worldly pleasures.
and do all the other things that come with
the Lentea season. Yes. the Charity ball
must be a success during December. II
il Is not let Us drop * and when society
women come from all the fashionable
cities Of the East and tell Us what grand
successes their charity balls always are.
