The floor Of Convention hall will be
put in the very best shape for the
Charity ball. The patronesses Of the
Charity Ball association made arrange
ments with the directors Of the hall
this morning to have the floor scraped
with an electric scraper and it will be
dragged and waxed and when finished
will compare we'll in smoothness and
polish with the most fashionable
metropolitan ball room.
Through the donations Of the Chick
asha Gas and Electric company, the

shape and the charity ball this year
promises to be the largest social func.
tion Of the kind this season.
