gentlemen either in costume or full dress,
but unmasked. The ladies are all masked
and their identity remains a secret.
The ladies provide themselves with
''faveurs' or favors in the shape of gold
or silver souvenirs of any character they
desire. Generally they are medallions
with the name and date of the event en-
graved.
The ladies carry these faveurs pinned
to their costume, and before each dance,
in selecting partner, she takes one and
attaches it to the coat of the gentleman
she has honored.
This fashion has become very popular
among the refined classes Of Europe, as 1T
removes to great extent the formality OF
etiquette, without compromising the lady,
who is protected by her mask.
1t has been suggested that this innova-
ton would greatly add to the enjoyable
details of the masquerade ball.

Fiesta Day.
George G. Gaskill, on behalf Of the COM

plans for the parade, OF which q full de-
scription has been given in The Herald.
One proposition was to turn out, dressed

by three burros and a sign 1855, to
represent the pack train of early days.
Following the tallyhos would be three
large trucks with 1885" in flowers and
loaded with sample cases. The entire
procession to close with a representation
