LONG BEACH, CAL, Sept. 10
The Long Beacn Happy Hour Dancing
club gave a masquerade ball at Foresters'
Hall, Thursday evening, which was one
Of the incest and most enjoyable affairs
of the kind ever given at this place. An
excellent aggregation CT Il as!al .a!eat oc-
cupied the platform and the contrast of
colors, shifting and changing in the
many evolutions OF the dance, as the
merry maskers in their variegated cos
tunes whirleu by. made picture to the
on-looker as bewildering as pleasing.
Many of the characters sustained were
comically amusing. and the DISCUSSES
worn were in many instances completely
effectual in hiding identity. After the
unmasking. which took place at half after
10, refreshments of cake and lemonade
were served.
The hall was comfortably filled, some
of the maskers coming from points quite
distant.
The Happy Hour Dancing club has
been in the habit of giving weekly hops
since It's organization several months ago
and, this, its first masquerade, has been
the crowning achievement of long series
of delightful social events.
