BALL AT CONGRESS ACADEMY

A pretty little dancing party was
given at The Congress Dancing acad-
eny last evening by the young ladies
of st Joseph's church.
The affair was well attended and the
young people apparently enjoyed
every minute of the evenings pro-
gram.
The hall was decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants. and the or
chestra was hidden behind a mass of
palms. The program OF the dances
was a hand-painted rosebud shaped
affair, and each dance was dedicated
to particular flower. The favors OF
the evening were red carnations, to
which were attached fortune telling
cards. The latter caused much mer-
riment among the young people, who
pretended to consider the verses a cor
rect prediction of their future lot in
life.
The program consisted of twenty
dances, the waltz and twostep alter
mating, with a May-pole rollic during
the intermission.
The committee Of young ladies' d.
recting the dance were the Misses
fIay Conroy, Inez Platfoot, Bessie
Callahan, Della Farmer, Fanny Der.
nlody, Edith Klopenstein, Helen Nc
Carty. Mabel Krauss, Annie Hanley
and Rae keck.
