The object of the meeting was to discuss plans for the Orphans' annual ball, which it is hoped to make not only bet-I tor and larger than any previously given giv-en by the society, but to eclipse any- j thing ever given by the Catholics of Denver. The ball will take place on the evening of Tuesday. January l.". at the beautiful new Huston's hall, Eleventh avenue and Broadway. This year the tickets will be placed at which the members feel is a reasonable price for the most exclusive affair of the ceaeon in Catholic circles. This will include a supper to be served by a caterer, ca-terer, and the punch.
