MISS RED DAT CARNIVAL BALL IN MOBILE

Miss Evelyn Redd, who is visiting in Mobile during the Carnival, was among the favored girls at the Mobile Rifles Ball Friday evening, of which the Mobile Register has the following account:
 For their second annual, ball, the Mobile Rifles company on Friday. eve. ming made elaborate preparations, choosing an attractive visiting debu- tante for the honor of leading the grand march and appearing in the tableu which opened the ball at the Battle House and this ball surpassed in in. terest and brilliancy the one of last season.
 The theme of this Tableau ball was "A Soldiers Dream" the stage repre- senting typical camp scene out in the woods at night, as some of the soldiers were walking post, and others sitting around the camp fire. One leaving the group fell asleep and dreamed of home and then by means of the lighting ef- feet, gauge curtain the other side of the stage showed an old colonial home and in the doorway in party dress stood Miss Carrie Aldrich Conway of Washington, D. O., with her escort, Mir. Sheldon McKinstry, who was also in evening dress and had come to take her to the dance. The picture was e most charming one, this girl lovely in silver cloth and silver lace, trimmed in rhinestones and pearls and wearing sil- yer slippers, eager and happy over her first Rifles ball and proud to be led out by one of the Rifles, Mir. McKin- stry, and as the Battle House orches- 1tra played a march in true military style, all of the young ladies who had been selected for first dance favors came through the door of the old home and were met by their soldier partners who led them forth in the grand march and circled the ballroom.
 Just before the tableau, Captain Murray Wheeler, the former captain of the Mobile Bible company, made a most pleasing little introductory talk, and after the march the ball was for mally ouened. general dancing being the order of the evening. a,
 As about 800 invitations were issued the scene of the ballroom floor was a very beautiful one, ladies in evening attire and men in military and evening suits making it one of colorful beauty and brightness.
