For Pilot Readers.

Society is manifesting great inter.
est in the annual charity ball which
will be the first large society event OF
the season, and will be given for the
sake of charity at the Rothschild
pavilion Wednesday evening, Novem.
Der 25tn, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Auxiliary to st. Mary's hospi-
tai. The money is badly needed to
carry on this good work. This will
not only assist the members of the
Ladies Auxiliary who keep up the
free bed at St. Mary's hospital in Ell
larging their splendid work, but will
afford an opportunity for dance lovers
and residents of Wausau to enjoy a
brilliant ball. The cause is one
which will appeal to everyone, and it
is hoped many will avail themselves
of this opportunity to contribute to
the free bed fund. Eight patients
have been treated in the free bed at
st. Mary's hospital the past year, and
the local physicians have donated
their services to patients cared for in
the free bed. The committees in
charge are busy getting everything
ready for the BAL and tickets are
selling rapidly, which is very encour-
aging to the ladies. The decorations
for the ball have been decided upon;
they will be in holiday colors--red
and green. A good substantial sup
per will be served. Music this season
will be furnished by Schulz orchestra.
