PICTURESQUE SCENE At The TEMPLE
Grand-Lodge Room Prettily Deco
rated and ThroDged With Fair
Women I'm Elegant ToiIettes-Those
who Attended.

The Charity Ball, given under the au-
| spices OF the Hebrew Benevolent Associa-
tion last niAht, will go down in history
as one of the most brilliant and success
ful affairs OF the kind that has ever
graced the halls OF the Masonic Temple.
Great effort resulted in great achieve
ment, and the most sanguine expecta-
tions were not disappointed. Carefully
planned i'm every detail, there was no
room for any hitch. and the entertain
ment passed off with eminent success,
rejecting infinite credit on the commit
tees who undertook its arrangement and
direction.
1t is three years since the last Charity
Ball was given in this city for the benefit
Of the Hebrew poor, and since that time
many gratifying changes have taken
place. Last night many new and happy
features were introduced.
IN THE GRAND LODGE ROOM.
The Grand Lodge room was used for
dancing, and it presented really delight
full scene. 1t was not that the decorations
were by any means elaborate. though they
were in excellent taste, but the assem-
blage was a very striking one, and there
was an added charm to the grace and
beauty of it, in the many magnificent
toilets worn. STEMS orchestra occupied
the bandstand, hidden behind a bank of
palms. and a genial glow was shed from
the lights, which had been softened with
pink shades.
1t was past o'clock when the dancing
begun, and the end of the programme
was not reached until the morning hours
had begun to lengthen.
At midnight a bugle call announced that
supper had been served. and the guests
adjourned to the banquet hail. where an
admirable contribution supper had been
prepared. with covers for 25O people.
