brilliantly lighted and deliberately decor
ated. The costumes were fantastic,
gorgeous and beautiful, the music excel
lent, the menu far better than is usual
upon such occasions. The floor had been
carefully prepared for dancing, and the
seating adjunct so arranged as to allow
the walters sufficient space.
1t was distinctively and emphatically a
paper carnival. There were paper boys
and girls, paper men and women, paper
flowers and ornaments, paper machers,
paper head coverings, paper napkins and
dishes. In short paper of all colors was
formed into all sorts Of shapes and arti-
cles. One almost expected to be con-
fronted with paper viands upon visiting
the dining hall.
The grand march was a brilliant
pageant of beauty and gallantry. It was
a royal parade and the participants &C
quilted themselves admirably. Those
taking part in the grand march were

The royal personages were the browning
glory of the procession. His highness
was arrayed in fitting attire and her ma
%jesty's robes were rich end magnificent.
The maids of honor were beautiful and
charming indeed. With becoming grace
they paid court to the ruling powers.
Their costumes were magnificent ball
dresses oyerlaid with pink, green and blue
tissue paper. The maids of honor made
a triumphal march. Victims to their
beauty were strewn along the entire line.

very fine appearance under the leadership

forms and were attached to the guard of
honor.
After the grand march to well timed
music the king and queen were seated on
their thrones on the stage and together
with the vast audience viewed and
applauded the herald's drill. The gentle
men had attained considerable proficiency
in the manual in a remarkable short time,
and marched and countermarched with
the .fieSSe of practiced veterans. The
squad retired and we're re-callad by vocif-
erous and continued applause, when the
drill was repeated. By special request
the heralds will appear again this even

The scarcity of booths was a feature of
the carnival. There was really but one Of
these, a charming retreat in which paper
roses, ~hollyhocks and other evidences of
the dizziness of artistic and industrious
fingers were dispensed by Mrs. Mast and
Mrs. Guthrie. Their stock of floral con-
ceits was exhausted early in the evening.
Mrs. T. B. Adams and Mrs. 7. W.
Peters conducted the fairy post office, and
an attache of Uncle Sans service who
was present remarked that the scene
about the bower reminded him of Christ
mas week in the service. 1t was without
opposition in that it was the only licensed
post Office transacting business after 8
o'clock p. m.
