A GRAND CHILDREN'S CARNIVAL Al
THE ARl0N.
Lots of Fun for the Little Folks as wen q
Their Eldas-A Private Masquerade ana
a Progressive Euchrs.

Last evening the Arion club house. NJ
the corner of Main and Twentieth streets
was abluzs with a lights and alive with a
large sssemblage of people. The occasion
was the fifth annual ''Kinder Maskeniest
or Cbildren's Carnival, and it was one OF
the most successful in the history OF the
society. At I o'clock all the seating ca
nacity of the hall was taxed by the mem
hers and their families, while the httie
fo,ks in costume had assembled in the par
Tor below.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock, the grand march
began, and it was sight to behold, wonder
ful in its gorgeousness and laughable In
its absurdity. First marched two heraids'
then an elephant, Jumbo by name, at
tached TO whom was a small cart, in which
sat a clown, who tumbied every no"
and then and somerssulted around the
floor and cut other antics to the amuse-
ment of the spectators. This turnout
was escorted by two policemen, each OF
whom carried a large, fat, stuffed CLUB,
with which they belated the upfortunates
who came in their way. They were
dandy coppers," and they furnished more
finn thar a circus. Who they were no one
could find out for a time, but at last some
one recognized one as being MIR. FRED
Schyertfeger. The identity of the other
could not be discovered, and when those
present last evening read this article TINS
morning they will be surprised TO learn tnat
the second ideal cop, who was so sprlghby
and who seemed so young and gag, was
no other than-shall we tell, Doctor!
Yes? Well; it was Doctor Booking.
ON the clowns wagon was the inscrlp'
ton. 'tUse Bookings Liver Pills" Use
Bookings hair restorer would probably
have been more appropriate. Following
these came a line OF little folks represent
ing all kinds and classes Of people, from
kings and queens down to peasants,
There were fairies, old women, Joan OF
Arc, Mother Hubbard, Little Snow White,
George Washington, clowns, ~harlequlns,
and. in fact, all sorts of characters. One
especially noticeable character was q cow
bow represented by little Harry Lutz, the
fiye-year-old son of Mr.. John Lutz, and he
was certainly a dandy. The grand march
was full of fun, and at its conclusion dane
ing to Kramer's music followed.
The next performance on the programme
was a May Pole dance by twelve little
girls all attired in sailor costumes, and
they went through the dance IN a beautl=
fol manner. They were Misses Rosa Hof-
man. Clara Stifel, Gertie Bunenberger,
Birdie Schulz, Francis Bonenberger, Clara
Bach, Mary Bach, Emma IoecSler, Emma
Bieberson, Emma Seidler, Anna Hoffman
and Emma Bach.
A tableau representing children's JOY
followed, and it was very pretty. s chill
6ren's m.inuet was next on the pro-
gramme, and it was danced IN "a perfect
manner by Misses Lizzie Stitel, Doretta
Morgan, Pauline SChwertfeger, Cornella
Stifel, Maria Miller, Ada Tracy, Nellie
Friedel, Clara Mason, Gertrude Riester,
Mamie Riester, Ida Schneider and Lima
Kraft. So beautifully did they 90 through
the dance that they were compelled to re-
peat it twice. And right here it may be
we'll to state that the perfect training OF
the children in both the May pole dance
and miuuet is due to Miss Annie Hess,
who instructed them IN the movements.
She was the recipient Of a large and beau
tiful bouquet as a token OF appreciation.
Eighteen little girls sang Did Mother
Hubbard with the appropriate gestures,
then a dance following, at the conclusion
of which the grand march to supper took
place. After supper the older folks TOOK
possession of the floor and danced untll.an
early hour this morning. The affair WAS a
delightful one throughout and was heartily
enioyed by the little folks and their elders.
A very pleasant masquerade party was
given at the residence OF Mrs. Caroline
Brues, No. 90 North Front street, last even
ing, which was attended by quite a num-
Der Of friends, all handsomely or ludicrous-
ly attired in fancy costumes Mayors or
chestra furnished the music, and a most
delightful evening was passed by all IN
dancing. A greal Of amusement
was occasioned when the masks we're
called off at midnight, after which splendid
refreshments were served and heartily par
taken of. Several hours were then pleas
antly spent with the assistance of cards
and dancing. The affair was one Of the
most complete successes ever given IN the
city, very few OF the characters being rec
ognized by the others.
Colonel and Mrs. W. w. Arnett enter
tanned the Progressive Euchre Club In a
handsome ann at their residence on
Fifteenth street last evening. Euchre
and whist were the games INDUCED in,
and. with q splendid luncheon served at
midnight, combined to form a delightful
evening, such as those who have partaken
of Colonel end Mrs. Arnett's warm hospi-
tality have cause to remember.
