BRILLIANT DANCE FOR CHARITY
. ,........
HAT was undoubtedly the largest
W
nnd Rnindest ball ever wit
nessed In Northeastern Penn
sylvania was1 that given' Taut night at
the now armory, for 'tho bcnellt of Ht.
Joseph's Foundling Home. In every
feuturp essential to tlo success of an
nffulr of this kind, it was a surpassing
success.
Tho attendance was not less than
3,noo. The decorations and illumina
tions were the most elaborate ever seen
In Scranton. No more hnndsome or
prettily gowned women could be con
gregated anywhere and of representa
tive men a dnncc could hardly attract
more than were present last night.
And besides, there was from the very
first an all-prevnlllng good, Joyous
spirit, so absolutely essential to the
complete success of a social function.
It must, Indeed, have been most grati
fying to the ladles of St. Joseph's society,-
and the gentlemen who so zeal
ously nsslsted them, to look upon the
brilliant scene their work made pos
sible, and contemplate the iiood that
their efforts' wrought,
The attendance could not help but
have felt that while their patronagM
was prompted by charity, they could
not well bring- themselves to regard
their contributions as donations, for It
surely was worth every expenditure
they made to be a sharer In the un
bounded enjoyment, The delight that
came of beholding the gorgeous ball
room, with its wealth of color and Illu
mination, the pleasure of greeting
friends from all over the two valleys,
and of making new acquaintances, and
the gratification that comes of being
one of ii happy throng, were full com
pensation to any one who can be com
pensated by enjoyment of this char
acter. That thpre were few, If any, of the
unapproclatlve present, was attested by
the spirit with whlrh the assemblage
entered into the enjoyment of the oc
casion. The dancing floor was crowded
the whole night long, nnd almost every
number of the already liberal pro
gramme was enthusiastically encored,
Promennders never seemed to tire,
nnd the occupants of the. 'boxes, after
the first few hours, were found De
ferring a place in the moving throng
that gave to the iloor, from a view
point in the gallery, the aspect of an im
mense kaleidoscope. Reception and floor
committeemen were everywhere to pay
every attention to the guests, and the
ladles of the society, constituting them
selves hostesses, saw to it that no one
was a stranger.
It was a big undertaking, but it was
most successfully carried out, and those
who had It in charge are deserving of
the mo.st unstinted congratulations.
Brilliant Spectacle.
How the armory could have been
made mote attractive with anything
like reasonable expenditure Is difficult
to even imagine. It unquestionably pre
sented the most charming picture of,
its kind ever seen in Scranton. The
decorations at the military ball, with
which the armory was formally opened,
were magnificent, but they were sur
passed in many a degree by those of
last night's ball.
To fill that immense hall with color
and avoid anything garish, was a task
of no small magnitude, but the decor
ators succeeded in this task most ad
mirably. Profuse as were the varied
embellishments, at no place was there
anything that the most exacting taste
could unfavorably criticize.
A great, high archway, full of color
and illumination, was the first impres
sion one was given by a view from the
entrance.
Each of the long series of great steel
arches, extending unbroken across the
whole width of the building, from one
side wall to the other, were transformed
by the use of vari-tinted bunting into
what would suggest a long succession
of beautiful rainbows. Clusters of large
fan-shaped flags extended at frequent
Intervals along the center of the arch
way and at equi-dlstant points were
suspended balloon ornamentations bear
ing small silken American Hags.
Radiating from a mass of artistically
arranged flags in the center of the roof
were long stieameis of tri-color jeach
Ing In graceful sweeps to the side walls,
and rows of five bannerets, each tow
of similar tints, were formed btitween
each arch. An electric star hung Just
over the center of the dancing floor,
and at the for end of the room, facing
SUBSCRIPTION DANCE.

Thirtu-Five Hundred Persons At-
'
; fended the Great function
: For the Benefit of the
Foundling Home.
the entrance, the word "Charity" blazed
forth from n myriad of Incandescent
bulbs. .
Tho fur end of the hall had its full
quota of color In the light green and
buff 'walls' of the big sounding board.
Such portions of the wall lis it left ex
posed were hidden by flags and bunt
ing. The opposlte'cnd. of'the hall above
the gallery .was, covered with an im
mense stretch of bunting of wide alter
nating salmon and. white stripes. Be
low, the gallery': was u wamscoat of
dark red.
The forty boxes along either side and
the far epd of,the building were beauti
fully embowered in 'Hags and bunting,
forming pretty settings 'for their richly
dressed occupants, and heightening the
general decorative effect.' The front of
each line -of boxes was covered with
light colored bunting and Just above
them were clusters of flags, held In
place by shields.
Midway" In' the hall was located the
dancing floor, with its 8,000 square feet
of space, covered by a sheet of crash
which weighs 1,800; pounds. This floor
was raised about eight Inches above the
asphalt floor of the armory. All about
It was a hedge of palms and other
plants, entrance being made at either
end or side.
Wide areas at both' ends and liberal
passageways along the sides of the
dancing floor made place for the prom
enades. Forty arc lights, high up among the
draperies, made an already brilliant
scene dazzling and the armory as
bright as a sunny midday in the open
air.
With band playing, the dancers glid
ing about the raised platform, and the
promenaders movlnsr about the whole
hall, there was an inspiration that
would awake the most phlegmatic soul,
Arrival of Guests.
At 9 o'clock the guests began to ar
rive in numbers and from that time
until 11 o'clock there was a constant
stream of people ascending the stair
ways. As each carriage drove up, it
was given a number and when the
guests were ready to go a stentorian
voiced footman with a megaphone
called the coachmen by number, thus
doing away with the confusion often
attendant at large gatherings.
On reaching tho main floor, the
guests were directed to cloak rooms,
and when ready to enter the hall were
escorted by members of the reception
committee and floor committee. When
It was seen that the attendance was to
be so unexpectedly large there ivas a
fear that the dancing platform would
bo constantly overcrowded. This,
however, did not prove to be the case.
Many came simply as spectators and
spent their time In the gallery, the
boxes, the seats about the edge of the
floor or In promenading. As a conse
quence, there was quite a plenty of
dancing room tho whole evening long.
While the affair was under the aus
pices of a Catholic society, it was far
from being a distinctively Catholic af
fair. The most reptesentatlve people
of every class were present, and all
commingled In a most sociable way.
The very extensive patronage which
the ball received from non-Catholics
was one ot the things that most grati
fied tho society.
The occupants of the boxes serve
an earnest of this. They were:

A Few of the Gowns.
The gowns worn by many of th. la
dles were exceptionally elaborate, and
there were several Paris creations to
be seen in the boxes. Light colors, of
course, predominated, though there
were several dark blues and two bright
red gowns showed up quite strikingly.
Among the more conspicuous gowns
was one worn by Mrs. P. O. Megargee.
It was made by Armand, of Paris, and
was of sky blue silk, with panels of
net applique, cut en traine. The bodice
was trimmed with cream gulpere lace
and there was a deep llounce of the
same around the shirt.
Mrs. P. O'Mallcy woie a magnificent
gown of white duchesse satin, trimmed
with cream duchesse lace. It was
heavily trimmed with light vose pink
applique.
Mrs. A. J. Casey wore a gown of
cream satin. Across the corsage and
around the bottom of the skirt, which
was cut en traine, was a wide band of
cream liberty chiffon, embroidered with
pink roses. She wore diamond orna
ments. Her' sister, Miss Helen O'Brien,
of New York city, wore a beautiful
gown of pink moire, with embroidered
chiffon trimming.
Mrs. P. J. Casey wore a gown of rose
point over white satin, trimmed with
duchesse lace. She carried a mag
nillccnt boquet of American beauties
and wore diamonds.
Mrs. Robert C. Wills, who led the
grand march, was attired in a gown of

The programme contained twenty
four numbers, but this was enslly
stretched to forty by the encores, which
the band graciously granted at each
demand.
The grand march, shortly after 11
o'clock, was a most picturesque spec
tacle. It was participated In by 600
couples, led by It. J. Bourkc, chairman
of tho general committee, and Mrs, R.
S. Wills, president of St. Joseph's soci
ety. The marchers formed In couples, and
ollowlng the directions of Master of
Ceremonies J. Frank Slcgel, paraded
around the outside of tho dancing floor
at the extreme edge of the armory floor,
the line extending all around the room.
They next formed In fours, nnd then In
eights, and while thus formed ascend
ed to the dancing floor, the alternate
lines separating right and left, and
then meeting at the head of the plat
form, returned down the center sixteen
In a line. They halted after all the
marchers were massed In a solid quad
rangle, and then, as the music changed,
they broke away in waltzing couples.
At the conclusion of tho march the
dancing was continued until after mid
night, when there was an intermission
for supper, which was served by
Caterer P. II. Durkin, in the upper cor
ridor of the administration room. Danc
ing was again resumed at 1 o'clock and
proceeded with until late.
St. Joseph's Society.
The society under whose auspices the
ball was given is composed of the lead
ing Catholic ladies of St. Peter's cathe
dral parish and some trom adjoining
parishes. Its principal work is the
maintenance of St. Joseph's Foundling
Home, one of Scranton's most bene
ficent charitable institutions. The presi
dent is Mis. Robert C. Wills: vice
president, Mrs. John J. Brown: treas
urer, Mrs. A. M. Cusick, and financial
secretary, Mrs. B. T. O'Malley.
To even mention by name only those
who were especially generous in con
tributing to the financial success of the
ball would be to make a long list of
names, which would Include most of
Scranton's usual contributors to affairs
of this kind. Several of our wealthy
men paid $100. for their tickets; a num
ber of others bought boxes and then au
thorized the committee to re-sell them
If they could secure purchasers; every
body from whom the committee pur
chased anything made rates that were
almost like giving the things away.
The armory trustees charged the usual
price for the rent of the ball, not wish
ing to break their rules, but the indi
vidual members of the board of trus
tees made up a purse for the home
which quite equalled what was spent
on the rent of the armory.
A generous action is also accredited
to Superintendent Manvllle, of the
Delaware and Hudson. The ball coin--mlttee
went to him to find out how
much it would cost to have a special
train run down the valley after the
dance. He replied that they could have
all the trains they would need and that
It would cost them nothing. The three
special trains that were arranged for
Induced many to come who were hesi
tating nbout coming, because of the in
convenience of long waits for the euily
morning trains.
Among the mo.st generous of those
who performed services for thecom
mlttee were Mr. Fuhrwun, the decor
ator; Mr. Durkin, the caterer, and Prof.
Bauer.
