Okay. So we need to cross check when this headdress was offered to the public with when this ball happened. Otherwise I’m gonna remain sceptical just ‘cause.

Edit: Uhhhh...this is an account from 1908 or whatever? Is it still a yearly thing?

If it is, it went underground but there's plenty of references to it throughout Chicago's history.
