Show Good Shepherd Aid Society Ball. Although the Good Shepherd Aid society so-ciety has been in existence for over a year, no social functions of any note have been given by the members, but the initial ball to be held next Monday evening promises to surpass in appointment ap-pointment all attempts made by other charitable organizations. The party will be in the nature of a Hallowe'en affair, and pumpkin? and jack-o'-lanterns will be in order. The ball was to have been held in the new Marble, hall at the corner of Fifteenth street , and Cleveland place, and was to have marked the opening of the place, but the building is not completed and so the Woman's club building will be .used instead. The ball room is a pretty place with blue and gold adornment, and with the added decorations appropriate to the occasion will be a veritable fairyland. JLohmann's orchestra will furnish the mu?ic from a vine trimmed balcony. The dance will undoubtedly be a success, suc-cess, both by reason of the' worthiness of the object for which it will be held, and because of the popularity of the women who will act in the capacity of hostes-ses. The society makes few demands de-mands upon the public for aid and this time full value will be given for every cent expended. The Good Shepherd home is accounted account-ed one of the most worthy of all charities chari-ties which the church countenances. At present 200 inmates are being cared for by the sisters and the institution makes an attempt at supporting it?elf from the generous donations of friends. Win ter means tne added expense of fuel and more light, and in order to help meet current expenses the ball is be-I be-I ing planned. It is hoped in this manner man-ner to secure at least sufficient money to purchase coal for the season. Unique invitations have been issued to friends of the institution whose cooperation co-operation is asked, in the undertaking. The cards bear a pen and ink sketch of the witch that is said to preside over festivitie? on the eve of All Hallows, and the signature of "the mystic four' is affixed. The ball will be a social success beyond question. ' |
