| Wausau Lodge, No. 215, /. o. o. F.,
gave a delightful dancing party at
Eagles hall last Thursday evening for
| the benefit of the American Red Cross,
it being this organizations annual
ball. The social affair was one of the
| largest and most successful financial
ly, as we'll as socially, given during
the season. More than one hundred
couples were in attendance. The hours
were from nine to two o'clock, and
the entire crowd was there until the
| early hour in the morning, which was
very gratifying to the committee in
| charge of the affair, showing that all
had a very enjoyable time. The ball
room was beautifully and appropriate
| ly done in the patriotic colors, red,
white and blue. The side walls were
covered with Red Cross emblems and
| American flags, while in the center of
| the room a huge flag had been ar
| ranged, and the corners of the hall
| were also done with flags. The cleo
| trio lights were of red, white and blue
colors Two Red Cross booths were
noticeable and in charge of Misses
| Hattie Ruehlmann, Lillian Relitz and
| Bessie Refs and Mrs. Jacques, who
| were gowned in Red Cross costumes.
Dana'S orchestra furnished good dane
ing music and the modern dances
| seemed to be favored. Punch was
served during the evening.
| The Odd Fellows feel, much encour-
aged over the result of the benefit
| event, and expect to turn in 800,
which is a pretty nice sum of money,
| to the local Red Cross. A number of
people, who were unable to attend
| the dance, have sent in their check
| for $1.0O, which added greatly to the
| amount received at the hall.
1t is probable that the Odd Fell
| lows will make their annual ball
charity event.
In order that the committee may
turn over 500 to the local Red Cross
| chapter, it is hoped that all those who
have not already paid for their tick
| cts, will do so very soon. The lodge
! would like to get this matter out of
| the way.
There was a meeting of Wausau
| Lodge, No. 215, l. o. o. F., last Fri
