12 COSTUMES OF OLD TO MINGLE WITH MODERNATBALL Masquerade and Everyday Suits Will Present Unique - Scene at Function That Harrisburg is very rapidly resuming Its normal state of mind seems to be evidenced by the tre mendous demand for tickets to the Charity Ball to be held next Friday night at the Penn-Harris Hotel. Hen derson Gilbort, of the committee in charge of the affair, said this morn ing that advance calls for tickets have albeady broken all records, and the flood of checks and currency which came to the committee to-day was astounding. Governor William C. Sproul iS to be on hand, with Highway Commissioner Lerwis S. Sadler and nyiny others of the Gov ernor's official family, so that the affair will have a decidedly "official" air. Mr. Gilbert again called attention to the fact that it is not required Jhat guests wear fancy dress or go to the party masked. While the ball is a masquerade, there will be hun dreds of attendants in ordinary cos tumes. The committee to-day arranged with Floyd Hopkins, of the Majestic theater, for a number of stage ''grips" who will handle the machin ery for the still-mysteriops ceremon ies which will accompany the un masking at 11 o'clock. Several men will be required for this job, and a lot of specially constructed appa ratus. One corner of the Penn-Har ris loqnge is being reserved for this feature, to be staged as the clocks strike 11. The hotel management continues to receive many calls for supper reservations. Ball tickets do not in clude supper, as is well known. The Associated Aid Societies, it is expected, will benefit by not less than $6,000 as a result of the ball. That will mean the sale of 1,200 tickets. Ordinarily .some mighty heavy expenses would come out of the gross receipts,v but charitable Harrisburg men and women have ar ranged to take care of all expenses connected with the ball, so'that ev ery penny of the receipts will go to charity.

Germans Have Not Raised Prices on Yanks in Occupied Lands ! I With the American Army of Occu j patlon, Jan. 25.—Analysis of price re- I ports from the entire area occupied by the Americans shows that the : prices current ppior to the signing of ! Ihe armistice have remained substan i tially upchanged, Although'certain isolated individual ca'ses have been reported of attempts to overcharge , j American soldiers, there lias been no I general tendency among the Germans 1 | to increase the prices on goods in the ! I stores. In some shops in Coblenz j where prices have advanced since the i I Americans arrived the merchants j contend that this has been necessary | because of an increase of from twen ty to forty per cent, in the price of certain articles from the factory. And, to bear out their statements, ,the merchants show letters from fac tory managements in Berlin and other manufacturing points. Coblenz has had ais much difficul ty in procuring food supplies as any part of the American area, and yet, outside of serious shortage in some j essentials, such as fats, the general feeling in the city is one of hopeful- | ness in regard to the food situation. | This hopefulness extends only to this: area, and not to the districts of in- I terior Germany, which, according to | reports, are worse off. ; : j H.

"Seven Days' Leave" will shortly lie seen in this city at the Orpheum next week, Friday i and Satur "Seven day and Saturday matinee. I)gyM' This melodrama was ilrst I.cuve" produced at Sir Henry liv ing's Lyceum Theater, Lon don .nearly three years ago, and is still running there to practically ca pacity business. The gross receipts have averaged $20,000 a week, and it can be but faintly imagined how many thousands of persons have seen the play. Nor was its success, when produced at the Park Theater. New York, this past season, much less pro nounced. Given an American setting, but still retaining all the elements which made it .so successful, in Great Britain, it played for twenty weeks at that playhouse and only closed to give the players a much-needed rest at the approach of hot weather. The American version departs only from the English by the substitution of a young Irish-American, who at tains the rank of a major in the Brit ish Army, and the scene showing a Yankee cruiser destroying an enemy submarine; also the appearance of American soldiers at the dedication of a shrine in an English churchyard, and their departure for France. This Americanization of "Seven Days Leave" proved a happy one for New York audiences, and raised them to the highest pitch of patriotic npproval throughout the entire engagement. The third act is replete with excite ment. for not only is the lankee cruiser seen, but a subsequent spec tacle shows Its actual destruction by gunfire, and a race to a buoy in the English Channel by the English heri ine and the female German spy, both clothed in the least possbile raiment.
