ANA KANAINA LOKE,
At the meeting last night the ball
committee reported that 5000 invita-
lions are to be issued but more atten-
ton will be paid to city lists this year,
and not so many invitations sent out of
town as last year. John c. Waters,
chairman of the committee, said:
Il want every Karnival Knight to
make out a list of his friends whom
he wants invited to the ball and send
it to the committee. Otherwise they may
not be invited. Every person must be
respectable, however, for we cannot af-
ford to allow any others to attend the
ball"
Lawrence A. McCarty was made Of
fetal costumer of the Karnival and the
knights will recognize none other. He
will furnish the queens robe, dress and
jewels.
While the subject of the queens jew
els was under discussion Mr.. Waters
asked:
Don't you think that the crown we
had last year was too small2'
T. D. Humphreys-That is the GUS
tom of queens nowadays. They never
wear large crowns except for corona
ton purposes.
Mr.. Waters-WeIl, I am not very
familiar with the habits of queens, not
having many among my acquaintances,
but it struck me that the crown was
too small
Major A. P. Shreve chairman of the
parade committee reported that six
floats are in progress of construction, as
we'll as floats for other organizations.
1t was decided that every one appear
ing on the floor at the bal masQue must
wear a mask. Even the floor commit
tee will be required to do so.
When the question of special police
was brought up Mr.. Waters said:
Last year every Karnival Knight
was sworn in as a special policeman
maintained. There was no public dis
play of stars but the public understood
that the Knights were authorized to
keep order and there was no trouble.
pointed to invite Marshal Strauss to our
next meeting and that he be requested
to swear in the Knights again this
year.
The suggestion was adopted.
Mr.. G. K. Holiday said: There will
be large number of children at Gar
field park on Thursday evening with
homemade lanterns, and 1t has been
suggested that if we secure them to
take part in the parade it will be a very
pleasing feature"
Mr. Waters-Many children have in
uuired how they could take part in the
parade and I think the matter could be
easily arranged.
- Mr. HOlliday-Parents would have to
be assured that the children are taken
care of.
Major Shrev-If the children will
turn out I will take care of them.
The parade COMMITTEE was instructed
to look after the matter.
DR.. G. P. Ashton think that the big
button in last years parade was one
of its most pleasing features and sug-
gest that it be repeated.
The suggestion was adopted
j c. Darling presented samples of
decorations to the Knights and the sub
ject of decorating Kansas avenue was
discussed at considerable length but
finally referred to the decoration COM
mittee for action.
