CHARITY BALL
 LEADING EVENT OF SEASON
Hundreds Of Beautifully G0Wned Women And Their Escorts

The annual Charity BaIl-an event looked forward to through all the year
 was held last night in the Stratheld. Age was forgotten, the old vieing with the young in the strenuous mopements
 of the tango, the fsh walk; the hesi- ton waltz and all the other dances of fiae day. The hasY-rooln looked exquisite in it's simple dress of greens.s Palms hid the s0rchestra. stately bay trees were satisfactorily nlaeed about the roorn while huge punches of southern smilaK hung in graceful clusters along the walls and formed a pretty lattice ef-5 feet before the balconies. Strains from all the popular operas greeted the arriving guests. About 9:30 o'clock the corridors a1- joining tho ball room began to be crowded with nnagnidcently gpwnad women and their escorts in the more somber black and white. They danced aud danced through out the fleeting hours of night far into the "wee small hours of dawn.

 and sweet charity's'' ball was over for the year.
