Charity Ball Bids Fair to Be Very Brilliant Hal
loween Witches and Goblins to Pay Their
xeariy vjans
THOUGH Iho Charity Ball lias been a
big event In Itself for the. last sev
eral years, there Is every expectation that
tt wilt he unusually big nnd Important this
year. In the first place, It will certainly bo
the ball of the season, for with the Assem
blies and Benedicks out of the running
nnd a very unlikely Midwinter ball. too.
W It will le virtually tho only affair of its
BV. m n.1 A .nvm I 4 ni linn Inlnnln J.nl J..I
Klnu. xiiu LUHiiiuuvu nun tiauiy ueuiueu
to hold It in Christmas week, as during
that tlmo wo all perhaps feel It would be
more In tho spirit of things.
Tho Charity Ball has been nn annual
event for thirty-seven years and has
grown In lmportancefwlth time. During
the last Ave or six years, Instead of tho
grand march, a special feature has been
the opening event of the evening. One
year tho students of tho Academy of tho
Fine Arts gave a marvelous sort of pan
tomime or ballet; another year thoro was
a huge opening danco in four groups rep-
IB, resenting ino various oencnciaries of tho
ball. Last year mo zamous painting of
"Old King Cole," by Maxflcld Parrlsh,
which is in tho bar of tho Knickerbocker
Hotel in New York, was copied, and tho
dancing and costumes wero a marvel of
color nnd grace.
This year tho four beneficiaries will
represent four of tho Allies. Hussla will
bp represented by tho University Hospital
group, which Is in charge of Mrs. Bobcrt
Kmott Hare; Mrs. Do Witt CUyler will
have the Children's Aid Society under her
wing and tho dancers In this group will
represent France, whllo tho Lying-in
Charity Hospital will represent Italy,
With Mrs. Strieker Coles and Mrs. Alfred
Reginald Allen In charge of Its members.
What the fourth nation will bo has not
as yet been divulged, but who can doubt
It will bo Columbia, unless perchance It
Is England, nnd a fair Columbia will over
ihadow tho whole four. You never can
tell, but so long ns our minds and Imagi
nations nro not hampered by tho truth
we aro free to lot them flit gajiy over
untrodden plains; so think what you will
about tho fourth group until you hear
what It is to bo nnd what It will do.
Incidentally, thero are to be forty-four
members In each nation, and so far I hear
about twenty-flvo girls have been pro
cured, but only a very few men have
been found who danco nnd who are nble
to glvo the time to the practicing. Most
of the dancing men nro awny In camp or
clso on the "other side," nnd those who
liavo not been able to do likewise aro cer
tainly working overtimo on Liberty Loan
and other business for their country. So
It would not surprise mo to hear that tho
danco would have to bo confined to tho
ladles, though, goodness knows, they nro
working hard enough also.
TONIGHT, of courso, all tho kiddies and
some "grown-uppers" in Gcrmantown
and Chestnut Hill and out nlong tho Main
Lino will bo dressed to kill In every old
thing in the house nnd falso faces, nnd
will parade tho country roads nnd visit
tho various people on tho way. I remem
ber hearing of n lovely story several years
ago. Some people who were not, so to
speak, of tho chosen few of tho Main
Line, bought a largo stretch of land and
built thereon a handsome house. The
people round about were most curious to
eco tho house, having heard that It was
very beautiful; but alas! tho newcomors,
though Philadelphlans, did not graco tho
mystic social register with their names.
Therefore, bo It understood, neighborly
though it might have been and oven re
Quired by courtesy, no ono of that con
tingency would call on them. They were
"canaille," bo to speak.
Came Halloween; and would you believo
It, two young members of well-born fam
ilies, than whom very few hold their
heads higher, decided to tako this houso
In In tho courso of their usual country
visits with the witches. So, nttired In
fantastic costumes nnd false faces and
accompanied by nn older girl also dis
guised, they called at this house. Tho
butler ushered them Into tho parlor; but
the light, nlnsi was very low, and the
hostess, who fully realized her position
(and did not give a whoop about it) very
Pojltely bowed and said, "I shall bo very
glad to havo the butler show you the
house If It Is your desire, but as I am
expecting visitors I must ask you to ex
cuso mo!" They felt about two Inches
high, nnd I, for one, think they strongly
deserved It.
SO JEAN THOMPSON und Edmund
Thaver will ha mnrH Viagra n.iroall
Thayer and Shelby Johnson after' all.
Just one week earlier, however; tho two
first will be married at tho Thompsons'
country place In Haverford on November
17, while Shelby and Russell will wed In
Baltimore November 24 at the Johnson
homo. Pretty soon thero won't be nn
offlcer in camp who Is not married, It
seems to me. And It's Just ns well. Why
wait? They do not know when they'll be
ordered away nnd most men would rather
be married to the woman they love than
wait Interminably; for this war will be no
short thing,' believe me I
rpHEY wero all about twenty or there--
abouts and they wero on a house
Party. At tho table one day somebody
started to talk about "when I was a kid,"
and tho topic proved contagious. One of
the crowd, a son of the hostess, was Just
eighteen, nnd felt his youth painfully, al
though he was old for his years, looked
almost twenty and was bigger than most
of the other "men." He listened silently
to the stories aboMt "HoW I did love that
Pup" nnd "Father wouldn't let me have
a pony" an'd all th.at. told with the usual
air of "jlow time does fly," and ha never
said a word. When the -tales were) all
told and everybody had forgotten every
body else In a reminiscent silence, this
bashful youth spoke up In his quiet, cas
ual way, "Used to have a rag doll, and
tho damn thing busted and leaked sawdust
all over tho house!"
