THEIR WINTER BALL.
ST. MARY's BENEFICIAL UNION IN
TERRAIN AT THE TEMPLE.
BRILLIANT AND SUCCESSFUL EVENT,
Many Handsome Costumes Were
Worn-Mr. IL. A. Stumpf Entertaips
Arrangements Well Carried Out.

The annual winter ball OF ST. Marys
Beneficial and Social Union was given at
the Masonic Temple last night, and was
a decidedly brilliant and successful affair.
II was particularly interesting, as mark
ing the twenty-second anniversary of the
organization. and as being the second
event of the kind given by the society on
such an ambitious scale.
The Grand-L odge-room of the Temple
was converted for the nonce into ball
room, and prettily decorated for the oc-
cason. and the music was supplied by
Hirshberg's orchestra. Many handsome
costumes were worn. and the scene pre-
scented was a very animated ana PIC
turesque one. Shortly before midnight the
guests were splendidly entertained by Mr..
f. A. Stumpf at supper, and the pro-
gramme, which contained twenty-seyen
numbers, had not run its course until the
night was far spent.
The light of the present not infrequent-
ly throws into the shade events or the
past. Yet it is a fact that last nights bail
was conducted on a much broader scale
than any entertainment that the society
has yet essayed, and It was the consen-
sus OF opinion that It was by all odds the
most enjoyable and the most enjoyed.
Much Of the credit falls naturally 70
the lot of the Committee OF Arrange
ments headed by Mr.. Ed. Roscher, the
chairman, while the Reception Commit
tee. composed Of Messrs John b. Blliey'
John Fisher, George Bliley. and william
Miller, let no opportunity slip 10 make
the event pass off happily ana success
fully.
