SEASONS FIRST BALL

Brilliant Social Event at the Armory
 For the Free Bed Fund of St. Jo- seph's Hospital. The state arnory was crowded on Wednesday, evening, when the Ladies' auxiliary of St. Joseph's hospital gave | the first ball of the season, the pro- | ceeds of which are to be used to aug | ment the Free Bed fund Of the hos pital.
 All available boxes were disposed of some time ago but the demand for more was so insistent that the space | for each box was lessened and four or five numbers added. | The Armory was beautifully dec | orated for the occasion with flags, l bunting and boughs of autumn foli- age. The posts at the entrance to | the boxes were wound with white | cheesecloth and each box was de1ned | by curtains of red and white bunting I and flags of the nations arranged at | irregular intervals.
 Draperies hung at the swindows. softened the usual bare effect Of the | walled space. The arched beams across the ceiling were hung with shaded lights and three American | flags draped in fan shape depended | from each beam. The gallery, which | was flied with interested spectators | during the first part of the evening, | WdS cOH0Ieu NILn eLlDtclllS, among which were green flags at eith- CT end of the balcony bearing the in. scription, Erin Go Bragh. Autumn leaves were used with good | effect on the band stand opposite the | main entrance where Helmold'S or chestra played for dancing. The indi- vidual decorations of the box holders | were very elaborate.
 1 A concert was rendered by the or I chestra from p. m. to S:45 p. m. ! Promptly at o'clock the grand march | took place. There were 57 couples in line, led by Mayor and Mrs. Daniel I P. Dunn. Mr. and Mrs. John Reilly were the second couple. | Previous to the danci0g. little Miss Gertrude Dondero, daughter of MT. street, and Master Billy Costello. son ! of MT. and Mrs. William Costello of l Summit street, distributed programs. Little Miss Dondero was lovely in a white lace dress with rose- -colored rib- bons and the small boy was dressed 1 all in white.
 The officers for the evening were: Floor manager, Joseph M. Berard; aides, George A. Bartlett, Frank Cum | ningham, George NJ. Graves. George | w. Hickey, P. D. Moreau, Ray Parker, Francis keon, Everett Harrington.
 Refreshments, which had been con tributed, were sold during the intermis- sion. The undoubted social and pe- cuniary success of the ball Is due to the untiring efforts of the various committees and to the generous sup port and cooperation given them by the people of Willimantic.
