M00SETTE BALL AGAIN
Miss DonneIIy Plans Next One
for Halloween Night.
NO MORE SPELLBINDING
"Our Mary" Wrought Up Over
Way Dancing Was Delayed
Tuesday Night.

The Marathon quickstep, danced by
Johnny Hayes and other athletes and
their best girls at the Moosette ball, at
the Murray Hill Lyceum, Tuesday night,
VIII be repeated at a grand Fourteenth
Assembly District ball that Miss Mary
Donnelly intends to give Halloween night.
And this ball will not, like the other
one, be preceded and put off until mid
night by a four hours political mass
meeting-not II "Our Mary" knows II.
"Our Mary's' feelings We're so wrought
up by the way the social occasion she
had worked so hard TO arrange was
seized by the politicians for their spell
binding that even her intense loyalty
to T. r. and the Bull Moose party
couldn't keep her from letting off in
dignant remarks to office attaches in
the intervals Of giving reporters-at the
Bull Moose state headquarters, yester-
day afternoons glowing account of the
ball.
Barkus Queered the Ball.
Her remarks were something like this
To the office attaches over her shoulder:
That Victor Barkus queered my ball.
Putting off the grand march until after
midnight! II was working girls and boys
that took tickets for that ball. and they
have to get up In the morning"
To the reporters:
1.-THE ball was a wonderful success.
They had to have little meeting first,
as It was the first given in the cam
paign there, and Victor Barkus our dis
tinguished candidate for the Assembly in
the 9th District, made splendid speech.
Then everybody stayed for the ball"
To the office attaches: And after
taking my platform those old politicians
never offered to help pay the bills"
Cheap skates" muttered the attaches
bitterly.
Some OF them danced in the Mara
thon, and they weren't pleased 10 have ii
put off until 2 o'clock in the morning,
when many OF the girls and the fellows
had gone home.
Many complaints were heard from those
who had put on their glad rags Tuesday
night and gone to the Murray Hill Ly-
ceum at o'clock or Whereabouts.
and then" said one pretty Jewish girl,
who works in East 18th street. when we
did get to dancing the floor was horrid.
Someone had Just thrown some wax on
here and there. and hadn't smoothed II
down, and Il stuck something fierce"
No Fights at Next Ball.
Miss Donnelly says there will be no
blemishes like that on her Halloween
ball Neither will there be any hShts
such as the one that was fought tues
day night over the jardiniere Mrs. Iheo-
dorc Roosevelt sent as prize Tor the
most graceful dancer.
"Suspender Jack" McGee's niece, MISS
Broome, won the jardiniere, and Miss Don
nelly f. highly gratifed that IL should go
TO such an appropriate person. But she
regrets the row. ,
Eve had fine Jury OF Judges" she
said yesterday. Linden Bates, who is
running for Congress, and Victor BarKus
and Mrs. Vannamee, and others | was
one, too. But every young man thOushI
his girl was the prettiest dancer, ana
