Guests.

The committee in charge of the
Palace Ball Room, under the auspices
Of the Woman's Political Union, was
highly elated over the proceeds of the
affair. The substantial sum of about
$500 was realized.
The ball was also a tremendous
success socially. Notwithstanding the
faet that suffrage pennants and ban
ners were used in profusion through
out the decorations, it was difficult
to believe that the host of prominent
women present could be linked with
the name suffragette, or rather what
the name conveys to the average per-
sons mind.
Mrs. Abraham Van Wrinkle, presi-
dent of the union and the leading
spirit in making the ball success,
was present, and used every effort in
receiving strangers and making them
welcome.
The program of picture dancing
which attracted large audience was
one of the finest entertainments of its
Kind given in this city. The num-
hers were under the direction of
Ernest H. Seibert, who besides ar
ranging the dances, contributed per-
sonally to this part of the program.
The soloists were forced to repeat
several of the numbers in response to
the insistent applause of the au-
dience
Served supper.
Supper prepared entirely by the
suffragists was served at nominal
cost and between dances members of
the union, dressed in colonial costume,

ernor on the Progressive ticket, and
