Flowers, of course, will produce some of it; but there'll be something distinctive about the quaint old ancient dance of | the Egyptians that will keep you i puzzling—until, perhaps, you glance at I I he curious five-foot-high bronze stands (hat flank the stage. Just before the dance begins two barbarically garbed Egyptians will step I from the wings and place these stands lat either "iio of the stage. Then they'll touch a lighted taper to the little bronze pan that tops the stands. And then YOU'I-l. notice the peculiar fragrance. There is just a little story about that. Nearly two years ago a local "globe trotter" while visiting along the Upper Nile got a jar of real incense from a native —at least the purchaser bought it for native old stuff. And when the charity ball committee planned to put on a dance of antiquity the tourist offered the committee the use of his jar of Egyptian incense to add a realistic touch. During the next day or so the deco rators will begin the work of turning Chestnut Street Auditorium into a vast I garden of Old Japan. Other details ' for the big event of the winter's social ! .season are practically completed., limes (i« l-'nsl To da(e only one box for (lie ball j I remains for sale. All (old t nere bad I been but sixteen, as (he committee was i desirous of allowing all the space pos sible for the dancing. The sale of boxes opened Saturday and fifteen of (he. boxes were disposed of. inci dentally (he committee netted s<Sf> from the sule. Each box was sold for HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH $2 5, the location being Permitted by lot. For-an additional sls, however, the committee allowed the purchaser the opportunity to make his or her own selection without resorting to drawing lota. Seven of the boxholders i paid the additional sls. Following are | those who have already taken boxes: , Mrs. Marlin E. Olmsted, E. S. Her- j man and E. J. Stackpole, Vance C. McCormick. Mrs. John H. Weiss, Lewis A. Sadler, Carlisle: Spencer C. Gilbert, j Carl B. Ely, William E. Bailey, Dr. John F. Culp, Mrs. A. G. Knisely, P. D. Carney. Mrs. William H. Nell. Steel ton: Ross A. Hickok, Dr. J. X.

Jan. 17.—The National ■ Civic Federation opened its sixteenth j annual meeting to-day with prominent j i civic walfare workers from tlirough lout the country present.

I Former Governor Stuart For Vice-Presidency Special to Ilia Telegraph Philadelphia. Jan. 17. The Philadelphia North American In an article to-day reports that the Union League of that city will suggest Former Governor Edwin S. Stuart as a candidate for the Republican nomi nation for vice-president. The news paper says: "Governor Stuart himself uas been in ignorance of this discussion, which has been entirely informal, and would probably have negatived any such suggestion if it had been presented to him. No attempt has been made to create anything like a movement in Stuart's behalf, hut among league members, who divided themselves in allegiance to Taft or Roosevelt # in 1912, there is a substantial unanimity of opinion that Stuart would make a universally acceptable candidate for the vice-presidency on a reunion llcket."
