The May Ball given at Rothschild's
pavilion on Friday evening for the
benefit Of the Infrmary was most
brilliant and social event. For weeks
the ladies' of the auxiliary have
worked increasingly and systematical-
ly, each committee fulfilling its part
and every one working toward the
one aim, that of making the ball
social and financial success, and their
brightest dreams were resIiZed. The
pavilion was beautifully decorated.
From the upper beams thousands of
pink and white Streamers were sus-
pended while the orchestra stage was
hidden from view by some of these
beautiful streamers giving to the
whole an almost magic effect. The
dining room was made very effective
with punches of apple blossoms which
were suspended from the ceiling, and
bouquets of flowers on the different
tables. The program began at eight
o'clock with grand concert, after
which L. E. Ransom sang several
numbers OF Harry Ladders songs in
costume, and his impersonation of
that great Scotch singer was very
clever and enjoyable. He received
unlimited applause and responded to
a number of eneores. The May pole
dance given by the young ladies of
the high school was a most beautiful
number, as was also the dancing on
the green. The young ladies were
dressed in white, each wearing a sash
the color OF her may pole ribbon
which was very effective. These
dances were in charge of Miss Marie
Johnson, Miss Murilla Zellhoefer and
Mrs. b. K. Smith. At nine O'Clock
the ball was opened with the grand
march, led by Mrs. Frank Kelly and
Neuman Bells and at this time the
lights were turned low and large
electric sign bearing the word
Charity sprang mysteriously into
view, thus enthusing the already in
terested crowd The dancing was en-
joyed until II when SHome Sweet
Home" was played. From ten o'clock
on lunches consisting of sandwiches
coffee, ice cream and cake were
served at little tables in the dining
room and at all times these tables
were well patronized.
The Childrens' Infirmary is fortu-
nate in having an auxiliary which
works so in unison and so INCREASINGLY
in furtheriug its cause, and the
hearty enthusiasm and generosity
that the ladies met with did much
toward encouraging them in their
undertaking.
The sale of tickets amounted to
1850 and at meeting yesterday
morning it was found that after all
expenses were paid the sum realized
was $500, which will greatly help in
meeting the necessary expenses of
the Inirmary.
The program given at ST. James
Catholic church last Sunday evening
under the auspices of the Young
Ladies' Sodality of that congregation,
was most thoroughly enjoyed by those
who heard IL. The beautiful pipe
organ recently presented to the
church by the Sodality was dedicated
that evening, and the selections rem
dered by the Rev. August Dobble-
steen of De Pere showed that he was
finished artist. The vocal selec-
tions were also pleasing. Previous to
the program the Rev. j j. Brennan
dedicated and blessed the organ. The
program in full as splendidly rendered
was as follows:
