events of the season took place last
night, when the annual charity ball
OF the Ladies' Sewing Circle of St.
Bridget's Church was held at the
Kruger Auditorium. The affair was
a success In every way. The pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the care of
poor and orphans in the parish.
The attendance was large, and
beautiful gowns were to be seen
everywhere. Because of the attitude
of the Catholic Church toward some
of the latest dances, the tango and
other steps of the same sort were not
to be seen. The new dances in EVIL
dence were those of the more stately
kind and beyond criticism. No an
nouncement was made regarding the
forms of dancing, the floor committee
leaving the matter to the good judg
ment of the dancers.
The papal colors, gold and white,
marked the extensive and beautiful
decorations of the hail. Streamers of
cloth in those colors, spangled with
gold stars, were suspended from the
dome of the ballroom to the sides of
the balcony Goldfringed American
flags hung from the sides of the
balcony. The electric lights, half
hidden among the decorations, threw
a soft glow over the dancers. This,
combined with the beautiful gowns Of
the women and the evening dress of
the men, helped to make an unusually
gala scene. The stage was trans
formed into a woodland scene.
The orchestra was hidden among
immense palms. Both the concert
and dance music for the occasion was
furnished by Schweinfest's Orches-
ira
The arrangements committee was
headed by Judge of the Juvenile
Court Patrick j. Dolan. Many other
persons prominent in the affairs of
the city and Catholic circles were
