PASADENA

| BY far the most important social an
nouncement of the week was that
conveying the information that the
annual charity ball will be held at the
Hotel Green on the evening of Febru-
ary 5. This is undoubtedly the most
important social event of the Pasa-
| dena winter seaSon-eVen more i'm
portant than the annual Tournament
of Roses ball which concludes the
Crown Citys greatest day-and this
year the affair promises to be of more
social interest than ever before. The
committee in charge of the charity
ball shows the real social Importance
of the event and also presents as many
prominent names as 1t is possible to
crowd on such a small organization
Mrs. John s. Cravens, a leader in Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles, heads this COM
mittee with Mrs. H. Page Warden,
Mrs. a. Kingsley Macomber, Mrs. Ed
ward S. Kellam and Mrs. Charles r.
Russell as members.
On the list of patronesses are half a
hundred of the most prominent women
socially in Pasadena. They are recog-
nized leaders in society both at home
and abroad and it Is doubtful If there
ever has been a stronger list than the
one this year. In fact, from the ac-
counts of stunning gowns now in
course of construction and sub rosa
stories of plans for the big night, the
1907 charity ball in Pasadena will un-
doubtedly be the greatest social event
of the winter.
