No Charity Ball in Chicago.
Minneapolis Journal: AS Minne-
apolis society danced at her annual
Charity ball Tuesday. which really
a very satisfactory social func-

the annual Charity ball was not CIV

ball until February and by that time
society would have tired of balls. The
floor should be replaced by a new
dancing floor, but the cost Of doing
this is such that at present neither
the Charity ball committee nor the
lessees Of the building eel inclined
to shoulder so great an expense.
Interesting records Of the Chicago
Charity ball are those affixed which
were published in a Chicago Sunday

cleared over $4,000. This the more
