That the charity ball was a success
ts,re can be no doubt. And the OPEN
me- feature was beautiful in the eX-
teme. Charlie Morgan did himself
rrcud and was the typical "maitre de
isncs' in the midst of everything,
|lading the various sets with his usual
uace. He wore white wig and satin
dress coat and black silk tights, and
his dancing shoes were tied with satin
ribbons.

b black and had donned white wig
also danced in the centre and drove
the two teams of the Valentine group
ruund and round In circles, while De-
cember as Santa Claus and Christ
mas trees and January in SNOWFALL
costumes danced gracefully around
them. The Valentine group was lovely
and think really outdanced all the
oihsH in point of grace and perfec-
ton Of technique.
The November bunch was the least
attractive In costume, and yet the girls
we're very pretty. They had plain lit
lie sleeveless polo coats, of black and
vhite stripes, with very short skirts
ever riding oreeches and boots. Sophie
