SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In WauSau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

The event Of the week in social cir
cles was the annual May ball given al
the pavilion on Wednesday evening
for the benefit of the Children's In.
Urinary. The committees in charge
had worked faithfully and spared nc
| pains to make the affair an unusual
success, and it proved TO be both de-
lightful and informal. The ball room
was decorated with numberless
streamers, in rainbow colors, suspend
ed from the ceiling. These were kept
in constant motion, famed by q slight
breeze, forming most beautiful and
| irridescent effect. The American flag
was draped in front of the orchestra
and with streamers os either sides
formed complete and artistic screen
for the musicians. The dining room
was prettily arranged with stream
ers and May baskets. A short pro-
gram was given before the ball
opened. This included the May Pole
Dance and the "Vignoker,n an artis-
tic Swedish dance, both given by a
number of high school girls under the
direction of Miss Murillo Zellhoefer.
They were gracefully done and
showed good training and much prac-
tice. Miss Cornelia McCrossen and
Jack Burt gave some very graceful
fancy dances which charmed the aud
fence. At half past nine the bali
opened with the grand march, led by
Mr.. and Mrs. Don Murray. The
dance program included the waltz,
two-step and many of the new fancy
dances. Good music added greatly to
the enjoyment of the evening. About
three hundred people attended and
the proceeds amounted to $500.
This will greatly aid in the work of
the Infrmary and those ladies of the
auxiliary who SO willingly gave their
time and were SO untiring in their
efforts have every reason for congrat-
ulation upon their success.
The Junior class of the high school
held meeting in the assembly hall
yesterday. afternoon to decide about
