Who Won the Prizes

Who Won the Prizes.
Masks and Faces were the features of the
annual masquerade ball Of the Washington
Saengerbund before and after IL o'clock last
night at Concordia Hall Before that hour not
person was allowed to join the merry crowd
OF fun makers on the floor unless mask COW
cred a portion of the face. After IL the masks
were laid aside, fantastic costumes gave way to
dress suits and the remainder Of the evening
was given over to the devotees of Terpsichore.
1t was another of those jovial occasions Of the
Washington Saengerbund. With their festiv-
tiles there is no Formally. No check or curb
placed on free and unincumbered enjoyment.
No tickets are sold and admttance is exclusively
by card, SO that the attendance is kept strictly
within the membership of the society and a few
OF their intimate friends. To describe the scene
presented by the masqueraders would be to
paint picture Of life and animation set of with
bright colors, pretty girls and an abundance Of
merriment
THE AWARD OF THE PRIZES

They paraded and marched and danced; cut up
pranks and had what might be called 'high
old time" but with it all there was nothing
which the most fast1dious might complain of.

were particularly pretty and striking In ap-
pearance. The groups especially caused great
deal of fun. he Girls Of the Period" or
Fin de Steele" were full of merrymaking and
their representation of the girls at the theater
was the hit of the evening.
