YOUTHFUL MASQUERS
The Res dence of E. B. Ely a
Scene of Gaiety.
What the Young Folks Did and How
They Looked in Their Unique
Costumes.

The residence of Mr.. E. b. Ely
was the happy occasion of a mask
party last evening, given by Masters
Clarence and Ware n Ely to their
numerous young friends. AT an
early hour the parlors and halls were
filled with the young folks in every
conceivable disguise-quite number
of handsome costumes. One could
readily imagine themselves in fairy
lands, with the Queen herself in their
midst. The walls, chandeliers and
NANTES were gracefully festoOned
with smllax, mistletoe and flowers,
which breathed their sweet perfume
over all.
The favors were small bouquets, ar
ranged in pairs, which were distrib
uted to the lads and lassies, when
each young cavalier would match his
flowers with the young maidens,
who had drawn its mate, and escort
her to supper, when the masks were
removed and each recognized their
partner. The supper room was "a
thing of beauty" Across each corner
were tables prettily decorated, bear
ing center pieces of various fruits,
Under the chandelier, which was fes-
TONED with smilax and mistletoe,
was a stand of bright flowers, while
the mirrors reflected scene that was
enchanting. After supper music,
games and general good time were
in order, until too soon the hour
came to say goodnight to their
young hosts, who had given them
such a delightful evening. Below
