" helped plan the decorations. But about the hall. Through the Tori Gate When you entered the big auditor ium you passed through a gorgeous scarlet gate of Tori, the sacred en trance to the Japanese temple. Near by swung the triple gong of the house of worship. It had been loaned to the committee by Mr. Kelsey, who brought it from Japan. After you stepped Into the hall you held your breath for a moment. From the ceiling swung thousands of bunches of white and purple wistaria blossoms, only partially concealing the hundreds of Japanese lanterns. The lanterns were fitted over the electric lights In the proper way to give the desired softened lighting effect. At right and left of the stage the Lemer and Stauffer orchestras —the latter adding a vivid spot of color In their scarlet coats- —sat partially concealed by a hedge of white and purple Japa nese iris. Evergreens, Southern smi lax and more rtowers furnished the finishing touches. || Steckley's Shoes|| | New, Stylish and Comfortable jj !'

Around the chair aisles on the side were the sixteen prettily decorated boxes. The railings were hidden beneath smilax. Each compartment looked for all the world like a tiny garden. Until the curtain was Anally raised the stage looked like a solid velvet background. The dancers stepped from the wings or from the folds of the curtain to swing into the steps of the dance. Behind the curtain was the great rising sun of Japan. Spotlight and electric lighting effects a realistic glow. Add to this the pastel shades of pink and green and yellow, fashioned out of filmy stuff with mysterious names which only the society editor can properly tell o fand—you have a very faint conception of the colorful splendor of the Charity Ball. The Governor Arrives To go Into detail about the music Isn't possible. Will It suffice to say that Claude Stauffer and Sarah Lemer with their fellow musicians played as they never played before? The au dience being especially enthusiastic In its applause, calling for encores time and again. Of' course the way the crowd was handled by the floor committee head ed by John Fox Weiss, the way the delightful supper was served in the smaller "garden"-—these are a few things which really deserve more men tion than It is possible to give them. Shortly after 9 o'clock the orches tras struck up the national air and the big gathering rose in their seats as Governor Brumbaugh entered the hall. And a little later the booming of the Jap temple gong announced the open ing of the program. While Sarah Lemer and her orchestra swung Into a queer, creepy sort of a selection, two Egyptians, each bearing censers of In cense, strode majestically down the wide aisle to the stage and placed a burning urn at each side of the plat form. Then a big spot light was switched on and the curtain parted to reveal the curiously garbed youth and maidens of ancient Egypt. * From the Court of Pliaroali Misses Dora Coe Katherlne Etter, Frances Morrison, Louise Carney, Mar garet McLaln. Sarah Cooper and Jer ome Hamilton, Edwin J. Bevan, Thomas S. Trail, Farley'Gannett, Theo dore Gould and George Sutton step ped off that queer "dance of the vases." When they finished, the solo number of the evening was danced by Miss Katherlne Noland. She might have stepped from the court of the oldest Pharoah.

The biff crowd proved how thoroughly it enjoyed that number. Then came the dance of the torch bearers of the mid dle ages. Miss Sarah Hastings, Miss Mary Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. John C. Herman, Carl B. Ely and Francis J. Hall danced it. The men carried curious old-fash'loned flaming torches. Tlic Ball Is On The stately minuet of the days when Milady wore powdered wig and patches g»t rounds of applause. The dancers were the Misses Martha Fleming, Sarah Denehy, Augusta Hean and Arta Williams, R. Boone Abbott, Theodore E. Sealye, Dr. George MotTitt and T. L. Wells. Jr. Immediately afterwards Miss Mar garetta Fleming, attractively gowned in a costume patterned after the Sirs. Vernon Castle "Pavlowa," and Ed ward J. Stackpole, Jr., danced the gavotte as a finishing touch to the dances of the Renaissance. Leaping the gap between the cen turies. Miss Eleanor Nealc Clark, and George Shot well introduced the nine teenth century In the light, quaint varsovianna, which made a special ap peal to the guests. Miss Clark at the close of the dani'e was presented with beautiful flowers. Next came the maiurka, military and snappy, in which the participants were Miss Frances Bailey, with Henderson Gil bert, and Miss Susanna Fleming with John C. Herman. The white Russian fur-trimmed Russian hussar uniforms wifh the high boots were specially effective against the dark background and the number received a big ovation. Last of the old-fashioned dances came Miss Emily Bailey and Samuel W. Fleming, Jr.. in the waltz. Miss Bailey perfectly carried out the part of the demure maid of long ago, ably seconded by the gallant gentleman who accompariied her. Finally, Miss Sarah Hastings and Ross A. Hickok, Miss Virginia King and William Mc- Creath did the foxtrot, and aft?r a few turns were joined on the stage by all the participants in the previous dances, making a shifting of riot color and quaint costuming that has never before been seen in an amateur production in the city. That gave the scores of-other guests the necessary cue and a few minutes later, the floor was crowded with the dancers—and the Charity Ball was under way. Visiting in the Boxes Delightful Part of Ball Visiting in the boxes was one of the most delightful parts of the ball, for old friends dropped in for a little chat, staying just long enough and then wandering on to see someone else.
