WEDNESDAY EVENING,
CHARITY BALL IS
BRILLIANT SUCCESS
$3,000 Realized For Associated Aid Societies; Beautiful
Pageant of "America"; Decorations of Trumpet
Flowers and Doves of Peace; All Society in Attend
ance
The committee in charge of the
Charity Rail announces to-day that
more than $3,000 was cleared for the
Associated Aid societies by last night's
brilliant event. The response of
everyone was so ready in whatever
way aid was asked that success was
assured from the very lirst.
Prosaic Chestnut Street Auditorium,
bleak and barren under the cold light
of day, was transformed into a veri
table fairyland last night when Har
risburg turned out en masse for the
annual Charity Ball. It was most
fitting that a pleasure time, of a people
blessed with peace and plenty, should
carry the message to each and every
one to remember all the world was
not so fortunate. White peace doves
hung suspended over the heads of the
dancers and ptlre white Easter lilies
banked the front of the stage. Fes
tooned from the green girders of the
Auditorium hung countless sprays of
southern smilnx from which peeped
by thousands the orange-red bells of
crepe paper trumpet flowers. The
lights were shaded in the same color
while an odd note of contrast appear
ed in the blue-bells used to decorate
the stage. Flags of the nations hung
with the smilax half concealed by its
profusion.
The Sara Lemer orchestra and the
Palm Beach orchestra of Baltimore,
held their platforms on opposite sides
of the hall and by playing alternately
allowed the dancing to keep up con
tirtuously. On three Sides of the danc
ing floor were the private boxes drap
ed with white and gaily decorated
with smilax and flowers. These were
all sold out some days ago and were
filled with congenial parties both local
and suburban. Back of them and in
the gallery the seats were filled to
their fullest capacity with spectators.
Begins With Pageant
The evening opened with a short
[ pageant. "America." Across the back
' wail of the stage hung a huge map of
| the United States bearing the words in
! large letters. "Hope Of The World,"
while a flock of doves hung just over
head. Eight Harrisourg men: Farley
1 Gannett, Theodore Seelye, John C.
| Herman, Edward J. Stackpole, Jr.,
! Ehrman B. Mitchell. F. G. Gould,
Henderson Gilbert and Jackson H.
| Boyd, met America's honor guard
I composing Miss Suzanne Fleming,
i Miss Elizabeth Bailey, Miss Frances
1 Bailey, Miss Virginia King. Miss Au
; gusta Hean, Miss Mary Boas, Miss
i Dora Wickcrsham Coe and Mrs. Rob
ert McCreath each dressed as Colum
bia. Through large black and white
paper stars stepped our distant col
onies: The Philippines represented by
Mrs. William S. Bergner; Hawaii, Miss
Katharine Btter; Porto Rico, Mrs
Elaine Reily; Alaska, Miss Elizabeth
Knisel.v and the Indians, Miss Myr
vinne Leason.
For each of these was a sailor lad
in the costume decreed by Uncle
Sam but bearing the names of John
Comstock, Samuel W. Fleming, Jr.,
Dr. Geo. R. MofTitt, John Magoun
and Wm. McCreath. During their
drill, America, herself appeared (Mrs.
Roy Cox) radiant in shimmering
white satin, a gilt crown topping her
flowing hair and bearing an Immense
flag and shteld. Up flared the lights
which had been subdued as out rang
her clear perfect voice in our belov
ed "Star Spangled Banner." This was
followed by our national anthem
"America," in which the audience
joined, ti'hen Mrs. Cox stepped down
j the white staircase leading to the
stage followed by her guards, her
j colonies, troopers and sailors artd the
j grand march was begun, the signal for
the beginning of the ball itself.
Supper was served in the smaller
hall adjoining where the color scheme
was sky blue and green. Up and
down the outer staircase and in every
i available spot was draped the smilax
I and brilliant trumpet flowers. Due
I credit should be given the committee
j of arrangements for the system with
| which the immense crowd was hand
led.- An efTort was made at the first
to have it entirely a black and white
ball as far as gowns were concerned
but the ban was lifted a few days ago
and frocks of every'style and hue
| were seen.
Many Handsome Costumes
| One of the most interesting of the
| box parties was that of Mr. and Mrs.
I William Klder Bailey who had as
j guests, the Governor and Mrs. Mar
; tin G. Brumbaugh, Miss Violet Oak
| ley, Miss Emily Bailey, Paul and
