Society, CM '59 Charity Ball Opens Social Holiday Season By OLGA GIZE CARLILE Journal-Standard Society Editor Traditionally the Charity Ball is the highlight of the holiday season in Freeport and Saturday's ball, which boasted an attendance of approximately 550, was the best attended ball to be held here. Stylized boxwood trees, accented with glitter, formed the theme of the decorations and harmonized beautifully with the modern interior of the new Freeport Country Club, the scene of the ball for the first time. Though most women at the ball wore very dressy cocktail-type dresses, there were a number in long gowns. Men came in tuxedos and black or navy blue suits. Lawrence Foster's Orchestra of Dubuque played for dancing from 9 p.m.

to 1 a.m. Glittered Stylized Trees As guests entered the Country Club, they noticed decorated stylized trees on the door. These had green bases and were accented with gold, silver and cerise bows: The orchestra was roped in with the glittered stylized trees on standards, which stood about 52 inches from the floor. Wider ribbon in gold, silver and cerise was braided to link the trees around the musicians. Each tree held a bow at the base in the same colors.

On the buffet table, which was covered with a gold metallic cloth, was a center arrangement of a tall seven-branched candelabra in gold, holding ivory tapers. A boxwood wreath encircled the candelabra and had tucked in it Better Times roses, which harmonized perfectly with the cerise ribbon. For Formal Balance A pair of stylized trees was arranged on either side of the candelabra to give formal balance. Gold, silver and cerise ribbons were used at the base of these. Mrs.

W. F. Balles and Mrs. Daniel C. Ferguson, who were in charge of the decorations, used tall floor candelabra with ivory tapers on each side of the table.

These, also, were decorated with bows and streamers of the same colors, to carry out their idea of elegance and simplicity. Served from the buffet "table were platters of turkey and ham, meat balls in a cocktail sauce, cheeses, relishes, rolls, crackers and coffee. All of the appointments were in silver. Assist At Table Presiding at the coffee services at different hours during the evening were Mmes. Ramer B.

Holtan, Robert P. Eckert E. A. Loucius, Lawrence F. Kahl, Peter Holm, William Edwin Dildine, Gordon R.

There were stunning rich brocades, delicate laces and filmy chiffons as well as velvets, taffetas and silks. Especially noticeable this year were the party frocks in the emerald blues, greens, turquoises and many shades of red.

Spotted on one guest was a pair of elegant hose, accented at the back with.rhinestone design. Slippers for dancing were of grosgrain fabrics, plastic, the metallic cloth and of satin dyed to match the dress. There were many out-of-town guests and college students present.
