Description

The Fourth Annual Goodfellow Ball was held at the Hotel Texas, with great success. Attendance at the ball was one way of giving underprivileged families in Fort Worth, Texas, a real Christmas. The event was sponsored by the Business and Professional Women's Club and all proceeds are being donated to the Goodfellow Fund, which provides aid to families in need. Pictured during the presentation of a $1,660 check to Goodfellows, left to right, are Mrs. Audie Largent, Henry Love, and Mrs. Ida Belle Hicks. Mrs. Largent led the sales contest by selling 259 tickets. She is wearing a hat, blouse, striped blazer, and a matching skirt. Mr. Love is the manager of Hotel Texas. He is dressed in a double breasted pinstripe suit. Mrs. Hicks, of the Star-Telegram, is accepting the check on behalf of the Goodfellows. She is wearing a hat and a coat.
