The annual charity ball of the Cath olic Woman's club of St. Patrick's parish, given on Friday evening at the armory, was marked with splendid success in the number attending and in all the other features which go to reward the hard work of those in charge of this annual event. With an est1maled attendance of 1000 people, the evening was also brilliant social occasion, and the decorative scheme carried out in white and Nile green made the big drill shed a scene of re- markable beauty. White was the prev alent color, panelled off with Nile green, and a particularly graceful eff feet was achieved by baskets of flow CTS hung at intervals from the ceiling and midway of the hall across the center wehe three swings of southern smilax with electric lights in which large dolls swung and showered down flowers on the grand marcn.
 At the front of the music stand was large female figure gowned in green, and standing in a rose trimmed char lot from which she drove a team of 20 white doves.
 A pleasing change in the arrange ment was in having the word CHAR ITY in electric lettering on the front of the boxes on the north side of the hall instead of on the orchestra stand as in other years. The box for the president was placed on the opposite side of the hall. The decorations, which elicited many compliments for charge of Morgan Cronin, and the electric work was by Messrs. McGrory and Walsh.
