Evening star., 1925-01-19

the inaugural bali and the grand
stand reservations paid every dollar
OF the expenses and usually left a
surplus OF from $4,000 to $4,000. which
was distributed among Washington
charities. This year, however, the
ball will be a charity affair and the
COMMITTEES Will get none of the pro-
ceeds.
Those in charge are frankly worried
over the outlook. without funds, it
is said, the ceremonies may have to
be very severely curtailed. In the
meantime letters are pouring into
headquarters from every section of
the country urging the committee to
make the inauguration of President
Coolidge a peace fete. an occasion for
JOY over the Inauguration of a leader
who goes into Office without the
clouds of war menacins the horizon.
Ball Expenses Met.
Mrs. John Allan Dougherty, chair
man of the charity inaugural ball,
to be given at the new Mayflower
Hotel. announced this morning that
the expenses of the ball have been
entirely underwritten by business
men OF Washington so that the en-
tire proceeds of the ball will be avail
able for charity work

80 per cent of the gross proceeds
should go to the Firemen's insurance
fund, for their widows and orphans

tiles, the Children's Hospital, Child
Nelrare society, the Neigh borhood
