THE CHARITY BALL.

Away back in 1875 the gowns were
a feature at a big charity ball given
at the Harper and according to indica-
tions they are to be a feature at the
ball OF next week az Masonic temple
for the Associated Charities and the
Visiting Nurse association. At the
event SO years ago the gowns were all
made OF calico and the next day were
distributed among the poor of the city
in addition to the large sum of money
that was collected. Many beautiful
costumes will be worn this year and
undoubtedly a large sum of money
will be cleared for charity. The Of
CARNATIONS for which the ball is to be
given are badly in need OF funds.
Never before in the history of the
work have the associations had so
many cases of need to help, men are
out of work and there is much sick
ness. all of which means an extra drain
upon the charity bodies.

LAMB RECITAL TONIGHT.

That Augustana is to have recital
of great worth tonight is the assurance
received from many and noteworthy
critics. The popular prices OF 20 and
so cents ought TO be a great induce
ment to those music lovers who can
not afford to pay big admission fees
to concerts of this high a grade, and
to those who hear only the best music.
the words of our eminent critics
ought to be a sufficient guarantee for
the qualification of the artist Felix
Borowski says, "a recital given by
Miss Winifred Lamb, pianist, at the
Music hall recently attracted a large
and enthusiastic audience. That the
playing of this performer deserved the
applause which was literally bestowed
upon IL, is certain. for Mss Lamb is
a pianist of undoubted gifts-a pianist
possessed OF feet fingers, a nice touch
and imagination. She accomplished
much admirable work and in such a
composition as LISTS third Liebe-

ing qualities OF poetry and a tone
OF moving charm"

Toastmasters' Club Holds Enjoyable
Session-Next Meeting
Feb. IL.

Much interest attaches to the an
nouncement of a chemical test OF the
water in the swimming pool at the
4 Y. NJ. c. A. the results of which have
! Just been made public. The test was
made of samples taken from the pool
after it had been used in the regular
way for some time, and was done in
! order to show conclusively just the
conditions as regard health in the use
OF the pool.
r. w. Sharp, superintendent of the
water works, made the test, and re-
ports that the water tested is per-
fectly safe, from a hygienic standpoint,
and that all tests for disease bearing
/ germs have shown negative results.
The water in the pool is slightly less
alkaline than that taken from the city
mains fresh and Mr.. Sharp states
that the men would be safe in drink
ing the water in which they swim, If
they so desired. Every effort is made
by the Y. NJ. c. A. to keep the pool in
a safe and sanitary condition, and
those in charge are naturally much
.gratifed with the results of the test
which has been made.
