One of the most successful charity
balls ever given in this city was that
of the Bridgeport lodge of Elks at
The Stratfield last evening. The dec
orations were in the national colors
in keeping with the spirit Of the times
and were most attractively arranged.
AIT 7:3O o'clock there was a reception
in the colonnade where the members
of the reception committee headed by
Daniel johnson received the guests
and made them welcome. There was
the snappiest music for dancing and
the attendance was larger than at
any of the balls the Elks have had in
the past few years. This order does
some very worthy charitable work
and through the sum gained last eve
ming will be able to do even more than
usual.
