The seventh annual Charity Ball of the
United Hebrew Charities was held last
evening at Concordia Hail. Sixth and f
Streets northwest, and was the occasion of
the gathering of host of the prominent
| members of Hebrew society in Washington
and Baltimore. many people being in at
tendance from the latter city and from
New York and Philadelphia
The ladies' were charmingly gowned. and
the whole affair a most elaborate scene of
beauty.
The hall was handsomely decorated with
flags and bunting. while the orchestra was
screened in the gallery behind draperies
OF cOlored bunting and national banners
Between the windows were small Ameri-
tan flags crossed. But much more inter
esting than the decorations was the throng
that crowded the entire club house from
9 until after o'clock. The whole building
was given over TO the ball by the mem
bers of the club. which donated the cafe
and contents to the Charities Association
for this occasion.

are worthy and in need of assistance.

been perfected by l. L. Blout Jacob Stras-
burger, and a. ID. Prince, the officers OF
the special committee, Mr.. Blout being the
clubs president. and worked most harmo-
uiously. choice collation. was served in
the hall beneath the club room. where the
dancing took place. The response to the
announcements brought forth such a hand
some attendance that the balance in The
treasury of this worthy charity has been
materially ard satisfactorily augmented.
