NEW YORK SOCIETY TAKES SANTA ROLE Russian Ball to Be Given for Aid of Needy New York, Dec. 15 UP—New York society turned its attention this week from brilliant parties for debu- tantes and celebritles to the more earnest business of filling the Christmas stockings of “the other halt.” Prince Serge Oblensky and his wife, the former Alice Astor, head the list of patronesses for the Rus- slan ball to be given January 7, in aid of the poor and the Russian church assistance fund.
