The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-12-01

4 Will not tdlni, Dut trust IN Goa
Who this my lot hath given;
He leads me by the thorny road
Which is the road to heaven.
Though sad my day that lasts so long,
At evening l shall have a song;
Though dim my day until the night,
At evening-time there shall be light
My life is but a working day
Whose tasks are set Alright;
A while to work, while to pray,
And then a quiet night.
And then, please God, quiet night,
Where saints and angels walk in white;
ORGANIZES sleep from work and sorrow,
But reawakening on the morrow.
Christina Georgiana Rossetti, in
Christian Register.
The executive committee which is
planning the Charity Ball in Mechanics
Hall, Friday evening, Jan. "a, for the
benefit of the Associated Charities, has
secured the consent of Samuel II.
Cleary to act as treasurer of the funds
for the affair.
The executive committee is arraing-
ing the list of patronesses, and invita-
lions to those who are to lend their aid
in this way will soon be extended.
Chairmen Of committees are busily en-
gagged in forming groups of workers
who will perform the hard toll neces-
sary for an elaborate ball of the size
the Charity Ball promises TO be. AL
ready interest in the affair in all sec
lions of the city is so great that the
committee has been confronted with a
proposition that it may be necessary to
limit the number of floor tickets, since
Mechanics Hall can Accommodate only
limited number of dancers comfort
ably and the other conveniences of the
hITi1 l51,ar oIs f-,.
large dance.
The accommodations for spectators
are, of course, limited by the number Of
seats in the balconies and these are
all sure to be filled during the early
part of the evening, at least. The COM
mittee desires that everybody who
wishes to dance at the Charity Ball
shall have comfortable opportunity to
do so, and if it limits the sale of floor
tickets, it will only be to prevent ov-
er crowding.
The chairmen Of committees on hall
and drawingroom are considering the
color scheme which shall prevail and
this will be announced very soon to IA
cilitate the making of gowns to best
match the general effect of the hall.
The music committee considers itself
extremely fortunate in securing the
Salem Cadet Band for the concert pro-
gram and the twO-steps. 1t is negotiat-
ing with the orchestra now most popu-
lar with Bostons fashionable dancing
set to furnish music for the Yaltzes.
