Colonel Ball In Berlin

Although Germanys colonies are a subject of past glories, the annual “Colonial Ball" was one of the bril- liant society events of ‘Berlin this season. Baroness von Rlechellberg, wife of a former Governor of East Africa, received the guests at the principal halls of the Zoological Gar- dens. The main hall was decorated in African style. Huge palms were sil- houetted against an African sky. and monkeys and other animals and birds climbed about in the branches, while below the crowds enjoyed dancing and the side shows.
