Monday, December 6, 1915.
r. HICAGO society U planning for a 8panlsh ball to be giren at the First
Regiment armory. Two prominent matrons have undertaken to
. provide a "really true" Spanish cafe for the evening, at which the
Spanish costumed dancera of 8panlsh dances may partake of Span
ish food In Spanish style.
Mrs. Orvllle E. Babcock will head a group of women garbed In cos
tumes copied from those worn by Pavlowa, and Mrs. Austin Nlblack will
lead the "Gltanos group, one of the most effective pageants of the ball.
The "Gltanos" will be dressed In white tarlatan skirts, white satin bodices,
white silk shawls, red roses and Spanish fans. Of course, the men will look
quite the real thlug, too, with black, velvet ccleros, "white silk shirts with
low turned collars, and long Spanish trousers with wide, flaring bottom. .
Among the former Omahans in the "Gltanos" group will be the Misses
Florence and Alice Cudahy and Mr. Edward Cudahy, Jr.
Mr. Charles Dalmores of the grand opera company Is to be the bull
fighter of the evening, and Prof. M. Lovett of the University of Chicago, as
Charles V., will lead one of the most effective pageants of the occasion. ,
It almost goes without saying that this brilliant affair Is a charity ball
and for a very worthy and needing charity, a, hospital for women, which
cares for over 4,000 yearly and depends upon voluntary contributions for
Its support. f ' : . .

You Cannot Tell by
Looking at a Frog
How Far It Can Jump
Sergeant Hanson of the local army re
cruiting station Isn't as unhumorous
person ss some folks claim.
Behind a Georse W. Berge exterior he
hides a Mark Twalnlan wit Ah. yesl
Behind .the mask of melancholy Is a side
splitting, button-busting, gallua-breaklng
reservoir of humor, jest and quip,
listen.
"Good morning," chirped tha caller,
"what do you know?"
''Nothing at all and darn little of that,"
cams back tha sergeant quick as a wink.
The sergeant was studying a large mall
j-order catalog. '
"I see you are engaged In your studies.
Improving your mind," said the caller
with sparkling wit
Entered now James R Lysaght, outside
recruiter.
What did you do, sergeant, after you
got shaved T" Inquired lysaght.
The sergeant had a heavy growth of
whlakera on his face, visible at a distance
of nine blocks. The sergesnt looked serl- I
oualy at Lysaght. He shook his head
ssdly.
I didn't get shaved today." ha said.
"Oh," said Lysaght .
No, I don't get shaved till Tuesdays,"
said the sergeant '
The hospital corps gave firat aid to the
caller and Lysaght. They had only
fainted and were revived In a short time
Charges that taxpayers were being
defrauded by the county Fair associa
tion were shouted In tbe assembly
room of the county board when an
auditor's report of the receipts and
expenditures of the fair association
was presented at yesterday's meet
ing.
After Commissioners Harte, Lynch
Best and O'Connor had expressed vigor
ous opinions that all was not ss it should
be. with the affairs of the county fair
society, a report showing a deficit of
$11,000 waa referred to the county attorney
nd the committee of the whole. Com
missioner Harte in a heated speech asked
that' the "county attorney' be requested
to make an investigation.
, Hart Makes Polatet Remarks
: The county board waa Interested only In
learning what disposition had been made
by the fair society of about f 1.000 which
the county paid to It. this year, accord
ing to law. Commissioner .Harte rose to
Inquire . what had become of the tti.OOO.
Falling to find out, he made, several
pointed remarks, among which were the
following: . i
' "I believe the taxpayers of this county
sre about to rise up and call a bait on
this . useless expenditure of money. It
looks to me like taking money from
honest workers and spending it in a way
that la not honest. -
The fair association apent 132,000 on a
llttlo fair out there when all the exhiblta
were not worth more than $2,000."
I.rrh Favor In vt-.tllo.
Commissioner Lynch declared an Inves
tigation should be made aa to how the
county's money was spent. '
"We should find out whether they
didn't put the 'money In horse racing.
which Is forbidden by law," he declared.
Commissioner O'Connor used the harsh
word "misappropriation" In a short talk
Commissioner Best declared there was a
feeling In the county that the fund had
not been properlj handled.
A report from the fair society showed
th.t It received $30,41, spent t2'.421, and
that bills srriountlng to $0,000 are still
pending. .
