A DICKENS COSTUME BALL
Great Gathering Proposed at Cen
tennial of the Novelist's Birth.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: To commemorate in delightful and
suitable manner the one hundredth ami
yersary of the birth OF Charles Dickens,
February T. next, might suggest the hold
ing of a great Dickens costume ball In
Madison Square Garden or some other
building suited 10 the purpose? In London
such a ball is to be held In the Royal Albert
Hall. the originator of the idea and chief
worker being Mrs. George CORVALLIS West,
an American. I would like to see the lead
ers of society I'm this country follow the
excellent example set by their country
woman and arrange such a ball in New
York, for it would not only afford an i'm
mensse amount of pleasure to those taking
part. but also help to swell the Dickens
Testimonial Fund which has been so wo-
fully neglected over here.
Shakespearian ball was held In Lon
don early i'm the year and 1t was maSnif-
cent in every way. II is proposed to make
the Dickens costume ball one of even
greater novelty and beauty. The Dolly
Nardens. the Little Nells. the Kate Nick
lebys. the Little Emlys. the Lizzie Hex
hams. the Pickwicks, the Captain Cuttles,
the David Copperilelds and the hundreds Of
other dear familiar characters would rem
der the gathering the most interesting and
the most wonderful ever held in America.
I trust that through the publication OF this
letter the idea will he taken up by those
Test equipped 10 bring II TO successful
issue As a lover Of Dickens and every
word he ever wrote I should count 1t a
privilege to assist I'm any way toward the
success of the Dickens costume ball and
7 believe that there are many hundreds Of
others who would do the same.
