THE GERMAN HOUSE BALL
ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT By GER
MAN LADIES' AID SOCIETY.
A Financial and Social Success
Eight Hundred Tickets Collect
ed at the Door.

The annual ball of the German Ladies'
Aid Society, which occurred at the German
House last night. was a greater success than
any of its seven predecessors. Eight hum
dred tickets were collected by the door
keepers, and adding the number of tickets
which were sold and not presented, and
could not be calculated last night the finan-
cial phase of the affair was as admirable as
the ball itself. The whole of the German
House was open and brilliantly lighted.
The main auditorium, in which the grand
march and the dancing took place, was
beautifully decorated with palms and was
dazzling with light. The grand march
started at precisely o'clock, as had been
announced, and therefore there were not as
many participants as there would have been
had it been delayed. Headed by Mr.. Robert
Lieber and Miss Emma MetZger, the floor
committee led the march. The members of
the committee were as follows: Mr.. and
Mrs. August Schnull, Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Call jr,, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Cooper, Mr..
Paul Martin and Miss Martin, Mr.. Frank
Maus and Miss Becker Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
E. Metzger Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Walk, Mr..
Louis Reese and Miss Lilly Reese, Mr.. Otto
L. Kipp and Miss Pfaff, Or. c. /. Fletcher
and Miss Fletcher
In all $50 couples formed in the grand
march. Among those in the march were
the following members of the German
Ladies' Aid Society with their husbands:
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Hollweg, Mr. and Mrs.

and Mrs. Charles Krauss.
When the grand march was finished
dance programme began and later supper
was served
When the proposition to hold the ball at
the German House was preached there were
members Of the society who opposed it, on
the ground that the auditorium was not
large enough and the ball should be held,
as 1t always had been before, at Tomlinson
Hall. They were in the minority, however,
and last night it was shown that those who
German House were the wiser ones The
dressing rooms, the smoking rooms and the
parlors were all used in taking care of the
large crowd.
1t would be difficult to conjure up in ones
mind a more delightful scene than that at
the German House. The auditorium and the
corridors were filled with men and women
handsomely dressed and inspired to vivacity
by the music, the dancing and the bright
lights and colors, and the nights pleasure
was heightened by the fact that many
among the city's poor who feel the kindly
hand of the German Ladies' Aid Society
would be benefited by the success of the
