coined the guests in their particularly
delightful fashion.

The returns are not all in, but it is
thought about $500 will be cleared.
The expenses were heavier this year
than on previous occasions, which will
bring the proceeds down to a lower
figure than heretofore.
The members of the auxiliary
worked particularly hard this year
and feel gratified at the success of
their labors. They insist, however,
if it were not for all the free adver-
tising and notices in the press of the
city and the work and generosity of
their friends and those who recognize
the value of this public charity, their
efforts would have been in vain, and
the president of the auxiliary desires
to thank publicly an express as
forcefully as possible the deep graft
tude and appreciation of the auxiliary
to all those who contributed to the
success of this ball, and if by chance
some name has been omitted from
the list given above it is an error due
to temporary oversight on the part of
a committee chairman, which will be
rectified later
