Lady Friends
The near approach of the Lenten
season seems to have stimulated the
social world of Kenosha into great &C
tivity and from now until the time
when the gay times must be laid aside
Kenosha promises to be exceedingly
gay. Last evening several very Ell
ioyab1e parties and dances were given,
the most pretentious being the mas
querade dance given by the Rathbone
Sisters at Simmons Hail. Entertain
ments given by the Rathbone Sisters
are always of a very enjoyable nature
but the party last evening surpassed
all former efforts of these ladies. The
hall was deliberately decorated with
palms and flags, and very large
crowd were in attendance. Many Of
the guests were masked and these GER

to the crowd of spectators gathered in
the gallery and about the sides of the
| hall. There were no prizes offered but
this did not prevent the maskers from
vieing with each other in the fancy
dress line. Many of the costumes were
very unique and pretty. The two
young ladies attired as cake walkers
seemed to be favorites of the evening,
but they were forced to divide the
honors with myriad of maskers attired
as gypsies, princesses and flower girls.
The grand march began at eleven
O'Clock and after the march was over
the dance began, and then until early
morn the dancers tripped the light
fantastic to strains of music furnished
by Compton's orchestra. A splendid
supper was served during the evening
in TIE balcony. The evening was
made even more pleasant by the pres
cine and Waukegan. The Rathbone
Sisters are to be congratulated on the
success of their first masquerade ball.
