manv social events which have been
given in Augusta this winter was the
annual ball of the Nurses Alumnae
Association of the Augusta General

ter was chairman of the committee OF
ARRANGEMENTS and she was ably assist
ed by the Misses Josephine Mcclellan
and Caroline Kelley.
Dancing began soon after O'CLOCK
to the music by Dennis Orchestra,
and while the floor was not crowded
there was a good attendance and just
about enough dancers participating to
allow of the full enjoyment or the
pleasure Of the occasion. Many Of the
ladies were in evening dress and the
picture presented was a pretty one to
gaze upon. The floor was In charge or

During the hour of intermission re-
freshments of ice cream. cake and

Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-15

not only by local artists but quite prob
ably by singers and dancers brought here
for the affair.
The novelty of this plan and the lavish
scale on which ii will be carried out
make certain that the forthcoming Jardin
de Dance will be one of the really not
able entertainments OF the Augusta social
season.
The ticket sale. which opens today. will
be in charge of Messrs. John Gould
Blaine Owen and Charles Downing. 1t
is their plan to solicit the business sec
ton carefully. They will then turn the
work of selling tickets in the residence
sections over to subcommittee and in
this way they expect to raise a very con-
siderable sum before the day of the en-
tertainment This added to what is made
through the sale of refreshments and the
like should bring the receipts past all
previous high water marks for this
worthy charity.
Regular tickets, which sell at 75 cents,
allow their holders the privilege of re-
serving small tables for the evening and
of dancing or looking on. AS there are
a strictly limited number of tables and
as the demand for them promises con-
siderably to exceed the supply. it is sug-
gested that tables be reserved arly
Those desiring to do this should call up
Norman Bassett, whose office telephone
is 151
For those who do not desire to dance,
tickets will be sold at so cents each
which entitle their holders to seats in
the balcony.
