Feb. 15, 1960, Bachelors Ball

Feb. 15, 1960: The Bachelors Club holds its annual masquerade ball. For several years, I’ve been running across references to the Bachelors, a group founded in 1905 with membership limited to 75 unmarried men; an auxiliary  for women, the Spinsters, founded in 1926; and  another bachelor organization called Los Solteros founded about 1948. The groups hosted elaborate balls  that were at the top of the city’s social calendar.
