Masquerade Ball.

The. Masquerade Ball, given by
the young ladies to the young gen.
tLeman of this city, on last Friday
night, at the Assembly Rooms of
The Spencer, was one of the most
beautiful and captivating of the
seasons gaieties. The costumes
were of the most charming, unique
and richest designs, and highly
characteristic, and we are sorry we
cannot describe each costume in
dividually; but can truthfnlly say
that every character represented
was faultlessly portrayed. The
entertainment will long be remem.
bered as one of the happiest in oul
oity's social functions.
The Grand March was led by
Mr.. Grit 7. Smith and Mrs. w
B. Huston, they being oostumeo
to represent George and Marths
Washington.
Quite a number from abroad
were in attendance and all were
enthusiastic in their compliment
to our beautiful new hotel. TIL,

The chapel was filed with friends of
the convent.
Bishop Conaty preached the sermon,
in which he outlined the work of the
institution in Los Angeles since its
establishment one year ago. He said:
To-day sees the completion of many
hopes and aspirations and, under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God
in these days of Pentecost, we have
blessed this building. The Good Shep-
herd work is one Of Gods charities and
had its humble beginning like the work
Of Jesus himself; even so, the work of
this sisterhood began in 1851 with little
thought of its far reaching possibilities.
Today in every part of the habitable
world there are white robed nuns car
ing for fallen womanhood.
"Snce the opening of this convent
one year ago the fifth of this month,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-16

This home is the home of charity,
and charity is as broad as the heart of
God itself. 1t knows no creed or color,
and but one line, that of womanhood
to be saved. When we realize what this
work means we cannot but express our
gratitude to the sisters who have sac
rificed ALL"
These words we're uttered by Bishop
Conaty as he stood clad in the red
robes of pentecostal season yesterday
morning at the dedication of the home
Of the Good Shepherd.
The convent, which is an imposing
building at the corner of Pico and Ar
lington streets, is but a wing of the
main building which is to be erected
later as the work enlarges. In con-
nection with the convent, laundry Is
rapidly nearing completion where
modern machinery will be installed,
This laundry is being furnished by the
woman's auxiliary of the convent.
At the dedicatory service, which COM
menced at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Bishop Conaty was assisted by a
large number of the priests Of the
diocese. Following the blessing of the
building solemn pontifical mass was

AT NEW HARVARD HALL

The corner stone of the new Harvard

company marched to the site of the
new building, where the corner stone
laying took place. Rev. Warren F.

seventy girls have passed through its
portals. There are forty-five here to-
day and twenty-five have gone out
with the stamp of approval of the Sis
ters. All! If In years work only one
woman be saved, would 1t not be well
worth all? One child lifted out OF
misery and sin and made to stand be-
fore her God in the service she owes
him. 1t has all been done by the sweet
est of all influences, that OF good
life. No prison walls, but the govern
ment by the sisters through love.
"The spirit of the Good Shepherd Is
the spirit of Jesus Christ, a shepherd
who loves His sheep but whose love
seems strongest for the host of the
fold"
The bishop closed with an eloquent
tribute to the nuns who carry on this
work.
Following the service the clergy and
choir were entertained at dinner.
About 800 people visited the convent
between the hours of 2:3o and o'clock
yesterday afternoon. and were shown
through it. At 4 o'clock benediction of

place at 8 o'clock at the home Of the
Finstad, 957 Lake street, with Rev.
Baker P. Lee officiating. The cere-
mony was performed in the front par
lor, in which elaborate decorations had
been arranged. A canopy of aspara-
gus plumosus extended across the en-
tire room and it was under a smaller
canopy Of ferns and white tarleton,
from which baskets of Easter lilies
were suspended that the bridal party
stood. In the back parlor the scheme
was carried out with equally pretty
effect, with quantities Of white satin
ribbon tied in jaunty bows, nesting
in the greenery. White tulle was used
to shade the lights. The bride was
gowned in white crepe and lace, with
wedding veil of tulle fastened with
diamond crescent. Her only atten-
dant was Miss Helen Mason, who acted
as flower girl, dressed in a fluffy gown
Of white and carrying a fancy basket
of sweet peas and marguerites After
the ceremony the company adjourned
to the brilliantly lighted grounds
where twelve small tables had been ar
ranged around the brides table. This
was placed under a canopy Of white
satin ribbons, from which a wedding
bell studded with tiny electric lights
was suspended. Baskets of sweet
peas were placed In the center Of each
of the small tables, while the brides
table had for it's central feature a
large wedding ring of white sweet peas.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gill will be at home to
their friends in August, after a north

at which they were married, in the
absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Finstad, who
will spend some months in Mexico.
