Brilliant Charity Ball.
The Thanksgiving charity ball, the
proceeds Of which go to the Benevolent
Union, was given last evening in the
ball room Of the Elks club and proved
la brilliant social event Of the early
holiday season. 1t was also success
in a financial way, hundreds of tickets
having been sold for the ball. The
event proved even more Of social
Ievening than the one which was given
last year at this time, and which re-
vived the old charity ball custom.
The guests were met by the patron
lesses, the line being headed by Mrs.
ID. A. Collier, and included Mrs. e. 8.
Baker, Mrs. J. j. Ayres, Mrs. John II.
Cole and Mrs. e. e. Hawkes.. The
only decoration in the ball room was
a huge turkey on pedestal near the
musicians stand.
The grand march, which began at
1890 o'clock was led by Mr.. Archer
lie. Miller and Miss Mary Margaret
lAyres and Mr. Will Bridgman and Miss
Emma Weaver Nearly every one IN
the hall joined in the grand march
and several pretty figures were formed
! by the two lines as they marched
around the room Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
In. Williams distributed the programs.
The music for dancing was played
by Fuebler's full orchestra from
Quincy. It was necessary for the
| committee in charge to secure an out
! of town orchestra as both Agnes ana
Miller's musicians were engaged III
PLAYING at other parties. The Quincy
Organization came here highly recon-
lmended, but their playing was not up
to the standard which has been set by

misunderstanding it was impossible
! to arrange the orchestra schedules III
