for the success of the affair. The
eNchequer of the hospital will be aug
mented considerably by the receipts
and there was a glow of satisfaction
in evidence with every one of the
directorate over the splendid success
of their first attempt at a charity
ball.
To what means of charity future
events will be dedicated remains to
be determined, but il was well estab-
lished in the minds of everyone last
night that, it hereafter will be an
annual event of even more pleasure
and profit than the event celebrated
last night.
The hall had been most beautifully
decorated for the occasion and pre-
sented a most enticing and inspiring
picture for the merry dancers as they
entered the building.
And it is just as opportune right
here today that of all places ever
dedicated to dancing in this city.
none may compare with the Audi
torium. 1t is the one ideal place for
dancing and is so generally conceded.
II is sufficiently large to make dane
ing a pleasure, without making it
task to wind in the mazes of the
waltz or the rythmic delight of the
two step.
The hall decoration lent a charm
which was thoroughly appreciated by
the great crowd present and for this
decoration the efforts of the Grand
Floral company to do their part to-
ward making the success, must be
recognized.
At ten o'clock the stage curtain
was lifted and another inviting scene
was presented to the dancers, the
stage being used for the lunch room
Dainty decorated tables at which the
merry dancers gathered during the
evening to partake of the very de-
lightful buffet luncheon that had
been provided for the occasion. This
proved to be large profit earning
feature for the ladies and they were
assiduous in their attention to the
patrons of their tables.
These tables were presided over by
volunteers from the most represen-
tative families of the city and they
rejoiced in their privilege to do all
in their power to increase the charity
fund. The service was entirely vol
untary upon the part of the ladies
and no one acquainted with the work
entailed in preparation for such an
event can really and fully appreciate.
The ladies serving were Mesdames
C. b. Rich, w. H. Buthorn, Thomas
Sawyer, G. A. Jackson. Ella NJ. Gal
lupe, Willstack, A. A. Miller, f. e.
Cole, j. NJ. Stewart.
The committee Of reception were

DR.. and Mrs. p. p. Collins, Mr.. and
| Mrs. |. N. Bunting, MIR. and Mrs. j.
NJ. Stewart, Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel G.
| McMullin.
And the floor committee was as
| untiring as they possibly could be to
see that everyone enjoyed good
time. This most essential and labor
ious work was placed in the hands of
Messrs. Dan ID. and Frank f. Hill,
| Edwin NJ. Hardy, Sterling Lacy. A. r.
Sampliner and |. E. Emerson.
a very taking feature of the pro-
gram was the charity ball march,
which was substituted for the cotil-
lion, the march being a figure of a
cotillion proper.
Mr.. Fred Jenkins and Miss Wini-
| fred Sawyer and Mr.. Ray Morris and
| Miss Lillian Sawyer led in this very
pretty feature of the evening. The
favors that were given were boas of
crepe paper to the ladies, the gentle
men crowning their partners with the
little novelties and the ladies return
| ing the favor by changing bouton-
aires in the shape of toy jumping
jacks of uncertain age and agility.
The ladies who were responsible
for these chic little decorations were
| the Misses Alice Lee, Carrie Hooden-
pyle and Mary Haskell.
During an intermission of ten min
utes and at the united request of her
host of friends, Miss Maud Burton
to the exquisite accompaniment of
Miss Della Lumsden sang La Paloma
and was induced by an overwhelming
outburst of appreciation to sing an
| encore of a beautiful selection.
Boyer's orchestra was never in
better fettle and their responses so
| readily made to the very numerous
encores was most thoroughly apprec-

Altogether from the first moment
