him to make q suitable marriage and

His mother. the daughter of the Earl

she was married. She was not only

And never was there winter
when charity appealed to all as 1t has
this season. Never was 1t SO fashion
able to be charitable. Many a woman
who had made no Roadway socially
until now has this year found the
place, which should always have been
hers through her executive ability and
openhanded generosity having chance
to assert themselves. Not only, be 1t
realized, is it the mere handing over
of large sums of money that makes for
social recognition: the fact of becom-
ing personally known as useful in
charitable enterprises at first and later
in social matters also counts.

Big Returns From
Chicago Charity Ball.

oiiedSo Cudilty Dali. Spanish ball
which took place at the LIST Regiment
Armory in December, the proceeds Of
which were devoted to the Chicago
Lying-in Hospital. The ball was de-
vised and organized by Mrs. Kellogg
Fairbank and her band of efficient
women, among whom were Mrs John
Carpenter, Mrs. Joseph Fish, Mrs. Nor
ris Johnston and Mrs. Joseph Coleman
This entertainment which set high
water mark for artistic design and
achievement, netted about $21,50O for a
hospital, expenses being about $1,000.
This is not. perhaps. the most ever
made by any public charity ball in
Chicago. but it Is the largest sum ever
so raised for any one philanthropic en-
terpr1se In the old days of the charity
balls at the Auditorium, when a half
a dozen or more Institutions shared
the profits and Mrs. Potter Palmer was
at the helm, IL memory is not in error.
there was one ball that netted $26, 900
But those were the days when the
boxes were auctioned off and Potter
Palmer. Marshall Field. Arthur Cation,
George NJ. Pullman and other rich and
public-spirited citizens bid against
each other for first, second and third
choice of boxes. Sometimes the bid
ding would run over $4,000 for FIRST
choice.
These auctions were great social
functions. The late N. K Fairbank
was the best auctioneer in that golden
age. The present president of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. who was for
merly Prof Vincent Of the University
of Chicago. was a brilliant auctioneer,
while Joseph Wilkins was a popular
conductor of these auctions.
But the old custom of so disposine
of boxes was abandoned a decade ago.
and the smart. dashing costume char
ity ball of today. with It's ring Of boxes
at uniform prices. has taken the place
of these old-fashioned city parties
where every one went who could pay
IS for his or her ticket.
