 At the reguler annual meeting of the Second Machine Gun platoon, held recent ly in the Armory, the following officers were elected: Secretary, Corporal R. w. Kirck; treasurer, Lieutenant William H.

 THE ANNUAL MASQUERADE Of the City Guard at the Armory This Eventng-A Grand Carnival Antict-
 pated.
 The New Haven City Guards will give their eighth annual masquerade and fancy dress ball at the armory this evening, to the music of the American band and the prompting of Professor Oggeson. The members of the ball committee and other members of the company have made ample preparation for the grand carnival. The costumer has arrived from New York with large stock of masquerade costumes for both ladies and gentlemen. Checks for reserved seats, which have already been placed in the galleries, can be obtained at the room of the company in the armory at 25 cents each. These seats will afford a fine view of the masqueraders on the danc- ing floor. A fine concert will be given before the dancing. During the concert an excellent opportunity will be offered to watch the pranks of the funny clowns, the tricks of the athletes, and the promenade of those who are early at the ball. This part of the evening is very enjoyable.
 During the ball grand exhibition will be given by thirty-fve members of tho New Haven Turn Verein. The floor con- mittee will appear in gay costumes of Spanish noblemen and Hungarian princes. The big srmory already presents pleasing appearance with the adornments of the New Haven Decorating company.

dition of seriousness.
And Clementine was feeling the stu.
alton with all the sobricty that was de-
sirable. She had suspected all summer
that Randall had tender feeling for
her which she felt qualified to rccip-
rocate, but she was a proud girl, and
could not, by n feathers weight, influ-
ence the balance of his attentions.
Therefore, behind her smiles, she had
been not little wounded that he had
allowed her to come homo without
having given expression to his senti-
ments.
So she, too, now took on a sober
countenancc and banished thought and
regret by Joining several new clubs and
taking membership in two or three
moro charitable organizations.
Just before Christmas Randall one
day experienced in his breast sort of
imperative neutrality-suspicious. direct
from the slant-eyed mandarin, who
knows?-that he might hear of some
thing to his advantage if he should go
down to the city and call upon Glenn
entine; SO, after some futile resistance
to the message, he betoolx himself
thithcr.
He was graciously received by Glenn
entine-that is, graciously enough for
young man who had played the trifler
with her invisible affections-and he
seated himself in cozy chair near the
pretty table which held his old friend,
the blue jar.
AS he talked with Clementine, lit
tie constraint being apparent on both
sides-he toyed with the lid of the JAR
and the slant-eyed mandarin appeared
to wink at him three times very know
ingly.
Under some occult but imperative
pressure Randall removed the lid and
touched with his finger the silken
texture Of some mysterious contents.
Curiosity further constrained him,
and he pulled from the bosom of the
now jubilant mandarin a pale blue
article of singular description for a par
Tor ornament, and following it. he ex-
tricated pale pink strip of similar
shape and structure.
Turning to Clementine for explana-
ton of these unforeseen apparitions, he
found her spcechless with wild-eyed
establishment, and, without a word or
gesture, she seized the old blue jar and
hurried from the room.
Randall smiled the first real, soul
felt, refreshing smile that he had in
dulged in for several months, and
vowed by the pig-tail of the old slant
