X. Oeoghan, second vice president of the With stately, measured pace the B3d concert and charity ball of the Emerald Association drifted grace fully on into the past early this moraine at the Waldorf-Astoria to take a prominent place In the an' nals of Brooklyn's social triumphs. But with the dying strains of the orchestra the dance was not ended, for back in Brooklyn and down on umg island more than 2,000 orphaned youngsters awoke today to realize that they had found a friend, If not a father, who had turned their "mourning into dancing." For, while the Emerald Ball is recognized as' one of Brooklyn's most Important social events of the year, it means just one thing to these little orphans, which is that the "fatherless flndeth mercy." Over Attend And as a result of last night's ball, which was attended by more than 3,000 of Brooklyn's socially prominent, these youngsters are assured of a home and continued care, for shortly a check of approximately $15,000 will be turned over to the Roman catholic Orphan Asylum Society which watches over them. The orphans who become each year the beneficiaries of the ball make their home at St. John's Home for Boys on St.

Mark's Ave, at the St. Joseph's Female Orphan Asylum on WUloyghby Ave. and at St. Charles Home in HickcvlUe, three institutions maintained by the Orphan Asylum Society. During its existence the Emerald Association has donated about to Roman Catholic charities in this way.

As a result of last year's ball a check of approximately was turned over to the charities. In 1930 $22,500 was raised from the ball, which was the greatest amount In the history of the association. Similar to Predecessor The ball itself last night was in every respect similar to its predecessors which have annually touched a high spot In Brooklyn's social life since they were Instituted nearly a century ago by a group of Catholic laymen. There was the rustle of dazzling silks and satins, the lively and gay gyrations of young couples upon a mirrored floor and the more solemn and stately steps of the elders who could recall a day whem the minuet, the quadrille and the ballet were still in favor. Notable Attend As usual, the ball presented another occasion for the city's leading figures in all walks of life to gather again in the boxes encircling the ballroom In an informal reunion.

While the function is entirely Catholic in origin and pdrpose. it was again evident last night that with charity and the welfare of little children as the primary motive racial and denominational lines mean nothing. For, in addition to the large group of prominent Catholics who attended, there were many leading figures in Jewry and Protestantism in the gay assemblage, including Presiding Justice Edward of the Appellate Division, Minority Leader Irwin Steingut of the Assembly, Register Aaron L. Jacoby. Appellate Division Justice William B.

Cars-well, Supreme Court Justice Selah B. Strong and County Clerk John N. Harman. As usual, the main feature of the ball was the grand march, which began to wind its way around the ballroom shortly after II o'clock.

Lacked Nothing In Glitter Despite the fact that the ball was lacking in that military glamour of year gone by, when Alfred E. Smith used to attend with his military staff wt-en he was Governor of the State, and despite the present economic conditions which were not discernible anywhere in the ballroom, the function lacked nothing in sheer glitter and pageantry. "In view of conditions today, the ball is a remarkable success," Major Conroy said following the affair. "I am immensely pleased with the splendid manner In which our people have responded in this time to this worthy charity." Mr. and Mrs.

Efriam Gobou and a string of de grees from English societies about as exe'usive as the National Geographic Society here and you are ready for your publicity campaign. "Next comes the sneaking of an item into the newspapers about how Captain Gobou discusses the appearance of strabismus among Arctic seals. This establishes the explorer's reputation firmly, though it means nothing. "A museum of tome sort Is maneuvered Into backing the trip. Then there is a big dinner.

The 'angel' that puts up the most money gets his name attached to the expedition, which is now called the Bozo-Gobou Expedition." Many in Such a Party Dr. Dickey pictured the big staff of radio, camera and sound picture men, aviators and cooks in such an outfit. He concluded: "Then the Arctic expedition leaves. Pemmican Is eaten, polar bears killed, snowdrifts mastered and everybody comes home, without having done a thing of value to anybody but the explorers. If the explorer is shrewd and wishes to raise his profits he announces a deficit, which public spirited citizens soon wipe out." The Dickey Expedition is designed to be without sham.

Each member will do what he out to da llacNamee, a graduate of Georgetown University, was Washington correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer and later for various news services there. He is married to Marcella Shields, radio broadcaster. He has never been to the tropics Fashions change and fashions wane and while changing and waning they grow in popularity. At least it appeared that way at the Emerald Ball last night. A sweet, dainty miss in the fulsome styles of grandmother's days, with streaming two-toned ribbons for simple trimming, dropped shoulder effect or quaint puffed sleeves glided away over the ballroom floor.

Close on her heels came ultra-modernity. Sophisticated backless gowns, form-fltlng, elegant in cut and richness of material. Arresting Models There were arresting models in all black. 'Mrs. John H.

McCooey Sr. was queenly in rich black velvet modeled xn Princess lines. Diamonds she wore for ornamentation. Satin was a favored material, most popular In white, although many gowns of this material were to be seen' in a variety of pastel shades. Mrs.

Gardiner Conroy appeared in satin of an unusual ice green tone. She wore diamonds and a corsage of orchids. Subtle effects were seen in tone of glove to enhance the richness of a lace or velvet gown. Slippers in turquoise blue as the only contrasting color livened up an all-white model. Effective One Tone A great back scarlet bow at the waistline called attention to a one-tone model.

Varying tones in the flaming shades ranged from scarlet to Persian coral. Gowns were in most instances extremely decollete and noticeably rich in material Nearly all wore exquisite sets In pearls or diamond Jewelry. BOX Alderman and Mrs Thomas O. Ryan, Urs. Ryan In black crept and emeralds; Mr.

The fluffy demure dresses, with their tendency to look as though they had stepped out of Victoria's best parlor, had disappeared: Unexpected Sashes Slim sophisticated dresses, with no material to spare except in length, swung gracefully In the motion of the dance.

Lace, satin and crepe things they were, but they had an unexpected way of adding a sash that had nothing to do with the affair grandmother used to wear. Just because it was an Emerald Ball, green was popular. Mrs. Gar diner Conroy, wife of the president, did honor to the occasion by wearing the color of Erin. Other delicate shades, mauves, pinks, blues and always white, blended in Spring-like effect.
