The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-01-03

The Strikers ball has been long roc ognized as the leading event in Mobiles
 social calendar. The age of the asso-
 ciatioa-it celebrated its 63rd anniver-
 sary tonfght-entitles it to respect, and
 It's claim to briliiance and elegance is
 long established The members are
 fortunately, much younger than the or ganization and bend every energy to
 forward the pleasure of their guests,
 always with success. The Strikers ball
 Is the paradise of the married women and Of the older girls--just as the s. C. s. is of the debutantcs. It was once
 the custom for the buds to await this
 occasion for their formal oebut, but time fits too rapidly for them to walt so late in the season, though they do not feel that their success is quite as- sured until the Strikers have set the seal of their approval.
 Temperance Hall was converted to- night into a bower, where electric lighted clusters of grapes ran riot in
 a tangle of vine, making the prettiest of woodland scenes. With this back ground, the handsome costumes of the
 ladies and the brocaded costumes Of tho French court, worn by the maskers,
 and the more sombre black and white
 of the beaux of 1906, made brilliant
 kaleidoscope of color and motion. The Strikers were ay a disadvantage tonight in not having supper room. the room usually devoted to that pur- pose being used this winter for mer- cantiIe purposes, but the buffet supper was perfect in every particular. and perhaps even more enjoyable since de- void of formality.
