The jolliest affair of the year was
given last evening at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. George H. Partridge
when the 'bOilermakers" held their
annual ball. This unique costume
party was q feature of several seasons
after it was instituted by Louis B.
Newell and d group of kindred spirits
but was omitted last year much to the
regret of the young people. The
debutantes have given an impetus to
social affairs this year and it was in
their honor that the "boilermakers'
revived their ball. The. guests ar
rived in most informal manner, as
two appeared on a tandem bicycle ard
four others announced their entrance
with drums and flies, and a band,
which burlesqued the Roosevelt
Marching club, led the grand march
In which a grotesque assemblage
joined. All of the favorite charac-
ters from bowery fiction and the
drama were present and many Of
Mother Gooses young people were to
be found in the motley crowd, as Well
as the foreigner just arrived on Ameri-
can soil. The guests were masked and
there was much amusing speculation
as to Identities until the hour for un-
masking.
The party was a subscription affair
