The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-11-25

Let US take our fill
or youth, and music. and love and
For it all must end with the waltz
Quadrille,
And lfe viii be never the same life
o: tbat the caller might go on call
ing,
%, that the music might go on fall
Like a shower of silver spray!
While we whirl on to the vast forever,
Where no hearts break and no ties
sever -.
Somehow sentiment has always been
more or less tangled up with the charity
ball Poets have not disdained to use it
for theme; dramatists have woven
tragedy and humor ABOUT it. There is
something about a charity bal that
makes it different from any other hall.
Perhaps 1t is because of its Benevolent
purpose. Perhaps because society has
always laVished its most artistic Iecora-
tons, its handsomest gowns upon it.
Perhaps becaUse- But why speculate
about the reason? Suffice to say charity
balls are bigger, handsomer, more splen-
did functions than any other. and this
seasons charity ball, which is to be
danced Wednesday evening at the Ma
sonic Temple, will prove nc exception to
the rule. 1t will fttingly usher in W hat
promises to be a brilliant social season.
1t will be the standard of comparison
by which other large social functions of
the winter will be judged. The number
OF charming young women who have
only been out year, or even shorter
time than that In society, and who will
be in attendance at the approaching ball
Will make it in one senss a dance of the
debutanJes, although the patrons, of
whom there are a large number in St
Paul, will not have their glcry entirely
have fresher beauty. Fashion has de-
cried that the most beautiful Jewels the
costiest fabrics are most appropriate for
the matrOn, and the charity ball is one
OF the best places to exhibit charming
CONNECTIONS. If present gossip can be
believed the ball Of Wednesday night
promises to be a dream of fair gowns as
we'll as of fair women
