gaiety. A Mardi-Gras ball, with all /
lend, will be given by leading society |!
ladies for the benefit of the Eye and I
Ear Infirmary. AT a meeting yester- |
day of those ladies who are interested !
it was decided that a Mardi-Gras ball |
would be just the thing and would re-
ceive commentator from every side,
and so Mardi-Gras it will be. These
society matrons have already begun
their planning to make the reception
to Prince Carnival a magnificent one
and one which will be remembered in
social circles for many, many days to
come. A ce., ain society man has been
asked to maSs himself Prince for the
evening bufsSas not given his answer
as yet. Ho' yer, when he hears just
what societ bellies are to be in his
suite it is thought his mind will be
made up only too quickly. The Master
of Ceremon IS, almost as great as
Prince Carnival himself, will be chos-
en- from among the popular young So
ciety men and at the sweep of his ba-
ton the gay throngs will mingle and
dance and dance until early morn. The
executive committee met yesterday
morning at DR.. Sloggett's office and
now makes the official announcement.
Many places have been offered where
in to hold the Mardi-Gras but the COM
mittee appointed to make the selection
has not decided this point as yet. Mrs.
Alexander Halves is the chairman of
the committee on ticket sales, and this
will be one of the most difficult COM
mittees, yet promises are pouring in by
the score. Mrs Isenberg will look after
the selection of the judges for the car
nival. 1t is needless to say that the
franks of the society men will be invad-
ed for these wise men. Mrs. Charles
Elston, who has charge of the decorat-
ling committee, has added great
many names to her list 1t is said that
many ladies have begun plans for very
elaborate and beautiful costumes.
There is a question yet as to whether
the dancers will unmask directly after
| the grand march. There seems to be
some objection to this. as many desire
to retain their masks until later in the
1eyening. But this is a pretty social
point which thes all-powerful Master OF
Ceremonies will alone decide.
