SUCCESSFUL POVERTY
PARTY" AT OAKLAND BEACH.
Photo by Bsehrsch Bros.

At Oakland Beach on Saturday evening
there was
"A sound of revelry by night"
Shrieks Of laughter filled the air and
II was evident that unwonted gayety was
going on in the direction Of the casino
nearby the hotel.
Upon closer approach one did not
wonder at the shouts of laughter of the
participants and the childish abandon of
the children, for the scene was so inde-
scribably ludicrous as 10 battle all attempt
at description.
IL had been characterized as a Poverty
Social" and though elements of poverty
were conspicuous on every hand yet to
the beholder 1t was veritable peep into
Bohemia.
Indeed everything was literally Bo-
hemian from the incongruity of the cos
tunes and the absence of all convention
ality TO the Bohemian character of the
refreshments of cheese sandwiches, wa
termelon, beer etc.
To Mrs. j. Herbert Foster and Mrs.
Frank Martin, who jointly had the affair
in charge. belong much credit, for it was
"A success beyond all anticipation.
The costumes. i'm many instances,
burlesque or comedy on the theatrical
stage.
For instance there was the dignifed
ex-Consul Darte, disguised as a tramp"
I'm an indescribable costume of rags and
tatters, and sundry tin pals and other ar
ticles attached by rope to his waist.
The character was carried out TO per-
fection I'm every detail
Mrs. Darte as one of the "Maggies' of
the Bowery was simply irresistible and her
appearance and movements throughout
the evening created an endless amount
OF amusement.
Mr.. William ID. Cole in makeup which
carried out TO perfection the familiar
Wandering Wilies" in the comic papers,
was, perhaps the most comical figure
seen upon the floor. while Mrs. Cole was

and characteristic costume.
