The NorWegfaDS were fond of advent
ure and harmony and entered heartily
into the quest for novelty before other
nations dreamed that America with its
variegated landscape existed. The
masquerade ball given by the Vega So
ciety at Turner hall last night demon
strated the fact that those traits still
live in the sons and daughters of the old
time NOrsemen. Among the four
hundred or more present, harmony
not only greeted their musical ears but
a harmonious enjoyment reigned until
a late hour. Novelty may be said to
have been the greatest characteristic
when the grand march was announced
and hundreds of ladies and gentlemen
whose identity was lost behind their
masks joined the procession. Then
novelty not only asserted its identity but
reigned universal. Columb Diana tower
ing above all others led the march with
McGinty in coat of mail and helmet
constructed of cards following close be-
hind placarded with "a bluff of $40. 0O0,"
as to his identity. Following in the
line were queens enough to preside
over the universe, major generals, COM
modores, soldiers. sailors, knights,
dudes, MINISTRIES. flower girls, beggars
with bundles and baskets, Turks, Chi
nese, ballet dancers. policemen, Ole
Oleson, Jews, Germans, clowns, devils,
angels, cowboys, Eskimos, old men,
continental soldiers. beautiful maidens.
the superannuated spinsters. and ladies
in elegant attire with but
flimsy masks. The gathering was ap-
parently most motley one, but really
very pleasant one. The band played.
the bells jingled. the horns and whistles
blew. pealS of laughter rang out and
the feet glided swiftly over the pol
ished floor until midnight. when ad-
venture was halted and the order given
to unn.ask. Refreshments were served,
after which music and tripping the
light fantastic went merrily on until
propriety suggested a suspension, and
the company dispersed with hearty
praises for Vega society's mask ball
managers.
