THIRD ANNUAL
CHARITY BALL
Will Take Place at Rothschild Pavilion
on Wednesday Evening,
November 26th.

The various committees in charge
of the charity ball, to be given tomor-
row evening, have about completed
their arrangements and all indica-
tions point to one of the most delight
full parties that have been given this
year. The music committee in charge
of Mrs. e. A. Gooding promises as
fine music as we have had in previous
years; and those who have been for
tunate enough to attend the last two
years know that the music and con-
dition of the floor could not be i'm
proved upon.
The decorating committee with
Mrs. A. A. Babcock as chairman as
sisted by Mrs. G. B. Bird and the
Misses Bel Murray, Nina Kickbusch,
aud Gertrude Heinemann are busy
today making the pavilion bower of
beauty. The color scheme will be
yellow and white with a background
of evergreens and mirrors.
Mrs. BENZ. Heinemann assisted by
Mesdames r. E. Parcher, A. l.. Tim
lin and p. O. Means are making prep
aratiOns for a substantial repast,
which will be served all evening in
the dining room of the pavilion I'M
der the care of MeSdameS r. W.
Jones, c. A. Barwig, c. B. Mayer,
n. Heinemann and Miss Anne Mona
han. Supper included in price of adj
mission.
The ladies' dressing room will be
fitted up in the usual elaborate fashion
and the ladies in charge will be Mrs.
Fred d. dtsch, chairman, assisted by

cloaks
Mrs. L. A. Pradt, DIR. Margaret
Trevitt, Mines. A. A. Book, Mrs. A.
H. Reid and Russell Lyon have been
conducting a campaign of ticket sell
ing and they report large number
sold. So much for the arrangements
for the ball.
1t may not be unwise to again call
the attention of the public TO just
what this charity ball is for. 1t is
given under the auspices of the
Ladies Auxiliary of st. Mary's hos
pital and the proceeds are used for
the purpose of providing medical or
surgical care and proper nursing and
hospital attention for all needy
patients, regardless of creed, color or
sex. The only requirement for adj
mission to this free bed being that
the person is sick and not able to
pay for medical attention. The doc
tors donate their services and the
sisters give care and nursing, and the
amount paid by the Auxiliary to the
hospital, barely covers the cost of the
patients care. There have been since
the first of January up to the present
time this year, twenty-four patients
who have been cared for by this fund,
several of whom the attending physi-
clans declared could never have re-
covered if it were not for the care ac
corded by the free bed fund.
The charity ball is the only public
function from which the free bed
fund derives any revenue and on the
success of the ball depends the con-
tinuation of this aid to the sick poor.
The members of the Auxiliary and
their friends have done all that is
possible to make the ball a social and
delightful affair and it now remains
for the public to give its support to
this most worthy and deserving pub
lie charity and make it financial
success.
The ladies desire TO make it espec-
tally understood that the affair is
entirely informal and business suits
and shirt waists will be just as much
in evidence as evening clothes.
Cones orchestra will furnish music
and will discourse concert music from
8 until O'clock.
The floor managers for the event
are: b. +. Wilson, Fay Marshall,
Judd Alexander, G. X. Gooding, R.
c. Deutsch and Walter German.
Mr.. and Mrs. d. j Murray, Jr.,
and Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Thorn will
lead the grand march beginning at
nine O'Clock.
Dr. and Mrs. Treyitt will take
tickets at the door.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Saindon will
have charge of the kitchen during
the evening.
There will no extra price for the
checking of coats and for ice-cream as
i'm former wears.
