The Fourth Annual Masquerade Ball
/ took place Tuesday night of last week at
the townhall, under the auspices of the Y.
p. s. a., and was, as usual, decided sue
cess. By s O'Clock all the seats on the
floor OF the hall and in the gallery were
taken, and the newcomers, who were rap
idly arriving, soon formed dense throng
around the door. About 8.15 the maskers
appeared and the grand march was form
ed. led by Miss Twiddie Stearns,a spinster
of the 18th century, supported by the
trembling monk, w. IL. Dreamer. Dane
ing was then begun, and when all were
formed on for the third figure, they were
requested to lay aside their masks. At
IL 30 supper was held in the Bascom
House dining room. The viands were nice
ly served and were evidently appreciated
by the guests, and for an hour the supper
was the center of attraction. At the con-
clusion of the feast dancing was resumed,
and it was three o. clock before the program
was concluded. All present report pleas
ant time, aid that the affair was so sue
eessful was due to the energy and tact OF
those who had the affair in hand. Under
Instantaneous circumstances, they car
ried the ball through to a brilliant conclu-
sion. There were many quaint and fancy
costumes. Among those especially no.
ticeable were those of Mrs. w. II. Cream
