NJ ASOUEK BALL.

MAXWELL, Kauai, Oct. 27.-Mr.
and Mrs. James Scott gave a mas
querade ball at MAXWELL on Satur-
day, October q, as a farewell to the
Island of Kauai and its industrial and
social functions, with which they have
been for so many years prominently
identified.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain on
the day previous and an almost con-
tinuous downpour up to 3 o'clock in
the afternoon of the Saturday of the
dance, the guests were not discouraged,
but came many miles and through
muddy roads, and great was the de-
light of the young men of Makaweli,
when they heard of the arrival OF the
Misses Ewart and Miss Lindsay. who
had travelled fifty miles to attend the
festivities.
The affair was brilliant success
and was an innovation to Makaweli.
being the first masquerade that has
ever taken place here. The hall was
artistically festooned and decorated
with plants and flags, and as the
maskers arrived one by one and be-
came part of the picture. a scene was
presented which, for gaiety and effect.
would have done honor to the fair city
on the Seine. There were about
eighty guests present from all parts
, of the Island and a large proportion
were in masquc. The dresses were
exceedingly interesting. Those of the
ladies in particular were very pretty,
while the costumes of some of the
men were of the fantastic fashion from
nowhere which defied description, brit
which afforded unbounded amusement
to the onlookers.
At o'clock the company formed for
the grand march. The procession was
headed by Little Red Riding Hood with
her friend, the Wolf, and her aged
relative. Red Riding Hood was de-
.cidedly tempting morsel, but Mr..
Wolf had the sympathy of all il he
contemplated making dinner of the
old lady. Behind came an array of
witches, fairies, Spanish and Chinese
beauties, courtiers soldiers. sailors,
clowns, coons, hayseeds and monde
cripts, which would have made an
habitual topper think he had them
again"
