Wilmington is 10 be treated 70
something entirely new, socially, next
Monday night, when the first annual
charity ball will be given slmultan-
eously in both the gold ball room
and the duBarry room Of the Hotel
duPont.
His Excellency, Governor William
d. Denney, has consented to become a
patron and Mrs. Denney a patroness
OF the affair, as also have Mayor Will
lam G.. Taylor and Mrs. Taylor. More
still, while Governor and Mrs. Den
ney are starting the dancing in the
gold ball room, Mayor and Mrs. Tay-
Tor will perform similar service IN
the duBarry.
Sufficient subscriptions already have
been received TO insure the success OF
the function. Hundreds OF friends Of
the Associated Charities and U1e La
dies OF Charity, both OF which s0cie-
ties Will be beneflciaries Of the ball,
have been generous in their purchase
OF tickets. But with such spacious
rooms as the gold ball room and the
duBarry there Will be accommoda-
tions for at least a thousand couples
on the floors Of the two rooms at
one time.
Realization Of the severe drain on
the resources Of the charitable organ
izations OF the city, due to the indus
srial depression, has served 10 accen-
tuate the benefits which will accrue
10 many needy but altogether worthy
families and stimulate Iubhc interest
In Monday nights affair. IL Is the
hope and aim OF the committees in
charge to realize 5000 net from the
ball, as such a tidy sum Will go Tar
toward assisting the Associated Uhari-
uies and Ladies Of Charity in their
laudable work OF alleviating distress
'vithin the city.
