14 NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
HE Biccrst Socrar, Even’ of the summer on the North 
Shore will be.the head-dress ball, which will be given 
at. the Oceanside hotel, Magnolia, this evening, under the 
auspices of the Woman’s American Supply League, to 
raise money, to carry on the campaign against infantile 
paralysis in New York, Boston and other places where it 
has made its appearance. 
Mrs. John Hays Hammond, president of the league, 
who has spent most, of the summer in New York, working 
for; the suppression of the plague, is the prime mover in 
the arrangements for this ball, which is to be extremely 
original... She is assisted by a local committee, consisting 
of..Mrs. Samuel McCall, wife of the governor, honorary 
chairman; Mrs. James M. Curley, wife of the mayor of 
Boston,, as assistant chairman, and by Mrs. John W. 
Blodgett. of Pride’s Crossing as the executive chairman. 
Others of the committee in charge of the ball are Mrs. 
Robert D. Evans, Miss Belle Hunt and Miss Abby Hunt 
of Beverly, Miss Helen Frick of Pride’s Crossing and 
Miss Mary Elizabeth Hammond and Mrs. H. Cleveland 
Perkins of Gloucester. . 
All the North Shore will be represented at the big 
gathering, for,there seems to be unusual interest in this 
unique affair, Among those present from outside the 
North. Shore will be Lord and Lady Aberdeen, H. R. H. 
the Prince of Songkla, H. E. Phya Chanindra, aide, and 
H. E. the Siamese “Minister and Lady Prabla Kararongse. 
Governor and Mrs. McCall have denoted their intention 
to be present, and members of the staff, also Chargé d’ 
Affairs and Mrs. Nelson O’Shaughnessy of Washington 
and Mrs. Thomas J. Preston (formerly Mrs. Grover 
Cleveland), well as officers from the Charlestown 
Navy Yard. 
Every woman who attends the ball is expected to 
wear a special head-dress, the choice as to its kind being 
left entirely to her own discretion. The greatest possible 
latitude is allowed in the selection of the head-dress, the 
committee asking only that it shall be something out of 
the ordinary or something typical of a certain period in 
the world’s history or of a certain people. Thus, any- 
thing from the powdered tresses of Colonial days in this 
country to Egyptian head-dresses of the days of Cleo- 
patra will be equally acceptable, as well as any original 
design which may be-worn. Lady Aberdeen will wear 
the feathers she has worn in court functions, and Mrs. 
Hammond will wear the feathers she wore at three courts 
—Queen Victoria, King Edward and King George: 
The management at Keith’s has permitted the bril- 
liant star of the week, Miss Mildred Macomber, to take 
part in the entertainment. Miss Macomber will dance in 
classic and Spanish dances.

present and Miss Pauline Mason will dance. 
Tickets may be obtained from any of the leading 
Boston or North Shore hotels, are $3 each, and boxes are 
$co apiece.. The ball will start at ten o’clock. 
To tell who are the patronesses would be to give a 
list of the most prominent society matrons on the North 
Shore.

Théatre des Variétés and of ‘‘La Renaissance” of Paris, 
is giving his time and services this summer in the interest
