El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-11-28
\ nee each year FL Paso dances IN
the name of the greatest OF all
virtues-charity. The eighth an

nual Charity ball, gwen at the IolUec
club Wednesday evening as the formal
opening of the Thanksgiving celebration,
was the most successful ball yet given,
both socially and financially. No con
flicting engagements were permitted TO
interfere with this annual event on the
social calendar. Gowns were purchased
in New York or imported from Paris Tor
the annual ball and the resulting picture
in the colonial ballroom of the IOltec
club was most pleasing
More pleasing even than the picture OF
the gowns, the beautifully decorated
ballroom or the restful parlOrs, was the
music of the famous 22d regiment band
For three hours this band played con
cert which was as much enjoyed by those
who were not dancing as those who par
ticipated In the program OF Il dances.
Subdued until 1t sounded ike an Orches-
ira, the 22d band under the leadership
of c.. F. Washington played perfectly
for the ball and its splendid rythm made
the dancing an ideal pleasure.
The Decorations
As the big ballroom needed no other
decoration than It's color scheme, the
floral decorations were confined to the
parlors of the club and to the supper
room. where the center table was arts
ticaIlv decorated with autumn fruits and
flowers with red candles IN circle
around the outer edge. Here light
luncheon was served during the evening.
Punch was also served from a grape Ia
den punch bowl in the alcove Of the ball
