10 BROOKLYN LIFE GHC 8 3 WEEK IN SOCIETY THE US 808 Yule Tide Ball At 3 o'clock last Wednesday evening, December 26th, or, to be more exact, Thursday morning, taxis were crowded around the Heights Casino, and a large proportion of the stag line were still waiting for their hats and coats. This, as the dance ended at 2 o'clock, was in itself an unusual thing and serves as proof of the enormous crowd that was present. The Yule Tide ball is an annual affair given by the Ways and Means Committee of the Brooklyn Free Kindergarten Association. Although it is always successful, this last ball was notable. An illuminated Christmas tree was the chief decoration, while from a far corner of the balcony a spot light played upon the dancers.

Eldredge, Mrs. L. Sherwood Coffin, Mrs. Edward C. Blum, Mrs.
