The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-08-04
Deer Park.

Wing and Wing was the scene Of
gayety Friday evening last. Prompt.
~ at O'Clock a large party of mask
ers announced themselves, and de-
manded possession of the premises,
which was granted by the genial en-
tertainers Mr.. and Mrs. Schoolfield.
Fun and hilarity reigned supreme
and the jolly maskers tripped the
light fantastic toe until the wee small
hours OF the morning. The noble red
man OF the forest could be seen lead
ing Lady Jane Grey through the in
trlcacles of the quadrille, while Topsy
and Sister Mary Agnes were holding
sweet converse over the cut of Dolly
Varden'S Oyerskirt. Mexico was ABLY
represented by handsome corporal
OF the Garrett Guards. The Dude
was there in all his glory and the cut
OF his bangs was too utterly utter in
fact they were the admiration of the
ladies. We regret to say, however,
that he reused the ire of Ralph Our
Sailor Boy, and brought forth excla-
nations which we will leave to
the readers Imagination. Mother
Goose was naturally on quite init
mate terms with the "pretty maid
going a milking sir. she said" while
the good little Baby and her Nurse
fitted to and fro. The alck,card squad
IA misnomer by the way) would have
made Col. Moore, Washington's IA
yorite, happy for the balance of his
days could he have witnessed their
perfect movements and soldierly ap-
pearance. A demure Little Quakeress
was casting Sleeps eyes at John Chi
naman with Miss Bah for a rival,
while the Page was entreating to be
made Man Friday to Petite Robin
son Crusoe. Kate Greenaway and the
LAZY of Olden Times were having an
animated discussion over box pIaits,
gored skirts, pinbacks, etc., at the
same time casting wistful looks at the
rich laces and elegant attire of their
neighbOrs, the Spanish Ladies. Many
were the compliments passed on Our
Young Lady in White and her little
attendants the Flower Girls, whose
pretty faces and winning ways far
surpassed their floral tributes, while
last but not least fair Morning COM
pletes the picture. We would sug-
gest, however, that she bring her
seal skin coat the next time she
goes masquerading round Deer Park,
as the mountain air at 2 A. NJ. is
rather bracing for spangled robes.
The party was declared to be a sue
cess in every particular, and was
greatly enjoyed by both those in cos
tune and evening dress, and the hope
was expressed by all that it would
be repeated at no distant day.
