Il
AN OLD FASHIONED MASQUERADE
BRE AKDOWN WITHOUT
F0RMALITY.

Never in the history of the Falls was
there more enjoyable evening spent,
than that of last Thursday, at the beau
tiful and hospitable home OF Senator and
Mrs. LATE Green in honor of the young
lady visitors, the Misses McCrackens, of
Fort Wayne, Ind, and Miss Amanda
Dean, OF Glendeane, Ky.
1t was an old-fashion masquerade
breakdown" absolutely without formal
ity, notwithstanding the fact it was got
ten up at the eleventh hour, it was a
perfect success in every detail. Every
one put their wits to work and arranged
themselves as follows 80,
Miss Maude @. McCracken very grace
fully represented long-faced pious,
minister of enthusiastic sanctifcation.
She could not have thought of a more
striking costume, if she had been stage
manager for years. We always knew
that ladies had perfect control OF their
features and could put on an expression
OF almost any kind and at any time to
suit funeral or circus, but never be-
fore did it occur to us that one could
stretch her face to such fence-rail ex-
preston, as she did on this occasion.
Her actions could not have been eXcell-
ed by Sam Jones at his best. She wore
very tall silk hat, that had been worn
for some years, judging from its antique
block and the time spots where the hair
was worn way. Her linen ulster fit
like the Prince Alberts OF the latest cut.
She also wore placard on her back bear
ing this inscription "you d. hypocrite."
Miss Bessie McCracken likewise as
genious decorated herself in a garb OF
cabbage leaves from head to foot Her
cap was made OF large leaf and in her
hand she very gracefully carried cab
sbage bud about the size OF a bushel bask-
= ct; she also carried fan of the leaves
tied with very beautiful pink ribbon,
with flowing streamers, the delicate per-
fumes from this fan was equal to the
fumes of Dutch kitchen just before
dinner.
Miss Margaret G. Goodloe, OF Louis
vile, got herself up as an old-time back
woods negroes, with that delicate, greasy
completion that vasoline and burnt
cork by skilled artist only can make.
The only flaw in her actions was the
graceful manner in which she glided
over the hardwood floor in the may
waltz Her symmetrical physique had a
red picture card tied around her waist
but for the ends we would not have
known what its color was. She could
pass on that shape" Her companion
in color as well as in - was Mr.. Rich
ard Scudder, of Sanford, Florida, who's
Z countenance was very dark. He repre-
scented one-galus negro boy. His ex
preston was especially good, both in
face and barefeet, his feet wore the ex
preston or (mpression) of mos
thorough understanding in dancing. lie

one to please get off his feet. Dick is {

lovely mother and grandma would b,
very uneasy about him if they knew thu
careless manner in which he has beer
playing with Cupid's fire arms. Dick il
aifectionately called Brudder Scudder b!
the young ladies that have been hit o

Mrs Late Green, we are delighted Il
say figured largely. She represented
large, fat landlady Of a third-class board
ing house. BY no means did she hav'
the appearance Of having been fed Of
the same grub that her boarders are
We are sorry TO learn she will 20 on tn
