Austrian Ball Coming Event Big Affair in Moose Home On December 7th to Aid Starving Children and Bring • v ' Christmas Joy A Grand Austrian Peasant Ball is being planned by the Austro American Relief Society of which 'tSigmund Ojserkis, president of the Boardwalk National Bank and the Bankers’ Trust Company, is the president. The date set for the affair is December 7th. It will be held in the new home of the Loyal Order of Moose who have donated the building for that purpose, inas much as the proceeds are destined to be forwarded for the relief of the starving Austrian children to brighten for them the approaching holidays. Costumes of the native land will be predominant. The decorations will be in keeping with all that the name implies, namely an old-fashioned Austrian village with all the dignitaries from the burgomaster with his staff of aldermen to the police force and the mail carrier. The committee which is now hard at work consists of Joseph Breunig, chairman, Armand L. Gilbert, sec retary, Joseph' Heilig, treasurer, , Bruno Garr, Fred Landman, Edward Essl, A. J. Perkins; D. Lamponi, Paul Stiemerling, Harry Harrison, D. Bloch, H. Menks, George H. Berke and J. Steiner, directors. Fred House is in charge of the arrange ments committee. Other members ' of the committee are William Bruehl, Louis Schott, Mr. Dawson, of Daw son’s Dancing Dolls, H. Woodhill, William Gauer, Fred Packer, William H. Eble, Eugene Barreck, Max F. Ost, Sr., L. Sachs and R. Schiller. Mrs. Joseph Heilig is chairlady of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, with Mrs. D. Lamponi as secretary. Many dona tions have been received by the chairlady, to be disposed of at the bazaar connected with the ball. The entire beautiful building of the Moose has been put at the dis posal of the committee, and Dictator Harrison, in a much appreciated address, declared Charity, the greatest of all virtues, must not be confined, but must reach- all nations, races and creeds. There will be a Tyrolean quartette singing the native songs, accompanied by an Austrian peas ant orchestra. Other vocal selections will be rendered by the Turner Maennerchor of Atlantic City, and the Aurora of Egg Harbor. A regular peasant wedding will be performed as the initial attraction of the evening, and it is rumored that a prominent business man will be the groom. Nothing could, so far, be learned about his identity nor will the committee reveal the name of the bride. However, the wedding is an assured fact. Many other features will add to the merriment of the visitors, and there is no doubt that the attendance will be a great one, as can be seen from the advance sale of tickets. It may be stated that the ticket committee consists of Joseph Heilig, 929 Boardwalk; Armand L. Gilbert, 207 Humphrys Building; Bruno Garr, Atlantic Delicatessen Co.,' 1328 Atlantic Avenue and 1415 Boardwalk. — Expert Watch Repairing HENRY PERLMAN DIAMONDS, WATCHES, JEWELRY, SILVERWARE 1209 ATLANTIC AVENUE (Near Union Transfer Co.)
