4 SOCIETY. New York Society Sponsors Elaborate Midwinter Event Spectlcular Beaux Arts in Fashion World—Broken Engagement Renewed, Wedding Follows. NEW YORK, January 18.—No enter- tainment given here in the entire sea- son is as spectacular and brilliant as the annual Beaux Arts Ball, which is to be held Priday night of next week at the Hotel Astor. It usually is at- tended by thousands, and the grand ball room and adjoining rooms through- out the house are given over to it. No one is allowed admission who is not in the dress of the period which the ball represents. This year it is the Renaissance period and is called the Ball Renaissance, and the committee is confident that it will surpass in ar- tistic quality and significance all past efforts of the Beaux Arts architects. Kenneth Murchison, chairman of the executive committes, has announced that the sale to date of tickets and tables has been very large. Red and gold have been the colors chosen by James Monroe Hewlett to dominate the color scheme of his Re- naissance decorations for the three ball rooms. The great central room Il Pa lazzo, where the pageant will be pr: sented, has been decorated to represent the Central Court in the Palace of Lorenzo the Magnificent of Florence: the north ball Toom “II Cortile,” will be treated as a walled garden, giving entrance to the grand ball room, and the south ball room. “II Mercato.” will represent the market place and all the appropriate wares will be lavishly dis- played therein, Gorgeous Pageant Listed To Start at Midnight. The gorgeous historical pageant will start precisely at midnight. Philip A. Cusachs and Ben Ali Haggin, who ar- ranged the episodes in which over 300 people prominent in soclety and the artistic professions will take part, have completed the cast and are rehearsing the groups. The spectacle will open with a pro- logue of Dante meeting the beautiful Beatrice. follow three main and Henry VIII, and finally, the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella and the tri- umphant return of Columbus from his voyage of discovery. Each division will be subdivided into historical episodes—as the Ascent of Knowledge, the Noble Families, the Ar- tistic Guilds, the Banquet Scene of Lorenzo's Palace, the Players and the denunciation of Savonarola, and the Burning of the Vanities. Then Martin Luther and the Reformation, followed by scenes on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and a bewitching silver ballet. The climax will be the return of Co- lumbus to the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella, with a great tourage of cap- tains, sailors and Indians, the most ambitious spectacle ever attempted by the architects. Elaborate Charity Ball Scheduled for January 21. The Charity Ball, the proceeds of which each year are devoted to the work of the New York Nursery and Child's Hospital, will take place at the Ritz-Carlton on January 21.
