years and the younger and older mar

sixty fourth annual Charity Ball given
last night in the Waldorf-Astoria for

The entire ballroom suite was used,
and for those who cared to "go on"
from room to room there was no inter-
ruption to the dancing from the time
the grand march was over, little after
10, until the strains of Home, Sweet
Home" were heard at an early hour
this morning. There was an orchestra
for each room, and when the music died
down in one apartment it was immedi-
ately taken up in the adjoining one,
and the young dancers went from room
to room. 1t was one of the most sue
cessful balls given for the institution
