ARIZONA MUSEUM
GRAND BALL IN
PHOENIX, JAN. 29

An Arizona Museum Grand ball
will be given in Phoenix the evening
of Jan. 29 at the state armory. This
will be one of the outstanding events
of the winter season and guests are
expected from every section of the
state, many invitations having been
sent cut.
This ball is being given by a group
of clubs of Phoenix ana vicinity,
Mrs. c. H. Young, president of the
Phoenix Musicians club, acting as
general chairman.
Mrs Young has managed a num-
Der of large affairs in the state
capital and under her very able
management the ball is certain to
prove decidedly artistic and finan-
cial success. Fancy dancing will be
interspersed between the regular
dances giving entertainment to those
guests who may not wish to dance.
Cards will also form a source of
entertainment for others who wish
to play.
Practically all the woman's clubs
over the state have pledged their
support to the ball and it promises
to be an event long to be remembered
in the annals of Arizona society.
The Arizona Museum of Phoenix
has grown up from long felt need
on the part of a great number of
organizations which, invited by the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion (who had already collected a
large nucleus), united to establish
museum which will tell to the thou
sands of tourists and school children,
the story of Arizona's history, native
art and romance of the past and
present.
Much interest has been evidenced
in the institution since it's inception
and the city of Phoenix has gener-
ously given beautiful location in
University park on the national high
way, close in for building site.
Many tourists come to Phoenix and
learn little or nothing of the inter-
esting features and history of the
other sections of the state. 1t is one
of the objects of the organization to
broaden the knowledge and interest
of everyone in the history and ro-
nance of our extremely facinating
state.
