Local Socialist Era Mix of Ball Dances and Civic Reform
The piece notes Milwaukee figures like Mayor Emil Seidel and Victor Berger hosting a democratic ball with workers and society people dancing together, praising equal footing and reduced ostentation. It also covers Mrs. Russell Sage’s Forest Hills Gardens project on Long Island, aiming to house 1,500 middle class families at rents toward eventual ownership, with extensive rail access and a public square. James J. Hill critiques American extravagance and municipal “city beautiful” ideals, predicting economic disruption but not a panic.
