The Confederate ball given BY Kir-
by Smith Chapter az the beautiful
Elks Home on Tuesday evening was
the crowuing social event of the sea
son. and many OF the elite Of the
city took advantage of the arrange
ments made by the ladies for their
comfort and pleasure on the closing
days entertainment.
There was no part Of the arrange

proved not only a source OF much en-
jOyment, but a financial project well
engineered on the part Of the mem
bers Of the chapter. who raised neat
sum in this way to assist them in
their scholarship work.
The home was neatly and gaily
decorated for the occasion, and a
large number of Out-Of-town people

dancing Of the evening. The music,
furnished by the home orchestra, was
all that could be desired.
From a financial standpoint the re-
ceipts far exceeded the expectations
OF the ladies, and some purchased
tickets just for the cause IL repre-
scented.
