NURSES BALL A SUCCESS.
About 200 Couples Attended Pleasant
Affair Last Night.

The nurses bali held in the Quarry
Bank hall last evening was a great
success, both as fun and money max
er. About 200 couples disported them
selves in the large hall, which was at
tractiye,y decorated in a "Christ-
massy" fashion for the occasion. Small
Christmas trees, fir boughs, tinsel and
crepe paper all aided in making the
scene bright one. Carroil's seven
piece orchestra furnished music for the
occasion. In sthe corners OF the hall
booths had been erected by the nurses
for the sale of punch and frozen pud-
ding and they were well patronized,
various nurses from the City hospital
being in charge during the evening.
The entire dance was under the super
vision of Miss Ruth Adie, matron at
the hospital. 1t is expected the net
proceeds win be about $500.
