Mostly About People

The Easter ball in the du Pont ball
room on April is planned to be the largest
social function Wilmington has ever
known. A very wide distri button of the
tickets is planned by the managers, who
desire that every social grou in Whining
ton shall have its share In the brillance OF
the evening The Junior League, who
made such success of the Merry Whirl,
is in charge of the tickets, and the younger
set is tremendously Interested.
Already inquiries are coming In As TO
the securing of tickets, and questions have
been asked about bringing out-of-town
guests. OF course, this idea Is favored as
there is no reason why Wilmington should
keep its ball to itself.

to the evening, and many who do not care
