farlane, Mrs H A. Allen, Miss Bates,
Miss Marion Scott, and Mrs. J. r. Wal
ker, and last but not least, Lieut.. Han
cock, L. S. A, who filled a vacancy. The
denouement with regard to the latter
caused several young men who had been
making desperate love to the supposed
sweet girl polo enthusiast, to scatter for
the corners.
Two pretty figures were Mrs. Bender
and Mss Nellie 4>4lcnen in their beauti-
full Watteau gowns with skirts reaching
only to the knee. They wore large
Gainsborough hats. They were accom-
panied by Pierrot in black, c. H. w.
Norton
The fame of the Irish washerwoman IN
her green gown with immense yellow
balloon sleeves and ridiculous mask was
ably won. Few supposed that this un-
calmly creature, whose capers and laugh
ter and mannerisms which convulsed all
who came near her, was Mrs. Charles 3.
Cooper. The role was carried out so ad-
mirably that she quite made one of the
hts of the ball.
The hula dancer was there, a bizarre
creature wearing the native pau skirt
of the hula dancer, black tights and til
leaves around the ankles. A battered
plug hat and a waist of unmentionabie
cut, completed the costume, which con-
vulsed the audience. Some of the dane
ers of the weaker sex were rather timid
about waltzing with this odd looking eX-
pert but soon got over their bashfulness
when they found the dancer was j. Tarn
McGrew.
The rag time man, attired in a startling
costume of calico pieces, was Horace
Craft. Frank Vida was a fine looking
little Japanese in a kimono. Jim McIn-
erny was successful in concealing his
identity until the unmasking hour. His
best friends failed to recognize the young
business man in white suit covered over
with cards and designs in hearts, dia-
monds, clubs and spades, representing
Poker. The clerical force of Hackfeld's
We're attired in crazy quilt costumes pat
termed after evening dress.
Among the pretty characters was the
cowgirl" adjudged to be one of the
most original and novel al the ball. Miss
Hester Lennon sustained the character.
She wore pretty short sktrted gown or
red, cowboy sombrero, cartridge belt,
with revolver around her waist, while
upon her trim little ankles were pair
of jangling spurs.
Miss Rosie Cunha was one of the most
beautiful dancers at the ball, her Persian
gown being admirably adapted to her
brunette beauty. The costume was drap-
ed in an odd manner, exposing to the
best advantage her beautifully moulded
arms Miss Irmgard Schaefer was a
handsome figure in an old fashioned
gown and large red hat. Mss Lucy
Roth represented Night, and wore a cos
tune of black Spangied Win stars Sne
carried a wand surmounted by a star
Miss Irene Dickson was a chic figure in
a red gown with a short skirt. hose and
slippers to match, all in striking con-
trast to her raven hair. Harry Dawson
wore a handsome costume of the French
Directorate period. Miss Belle Walker
and Miss Maggie Walker were par OF
dominos the lower part of their cos
TUNES representing the colors OF a rain
bow.
A lei woman stood at the door selling
and MALE leis. Long after the
dancers had unmasked she stood at the
entrance and took in considerable money.
She wore a hoIoku and was typical Ho-
tel street seller of Island blossoms. Her
face was stained to the native brown,
who were accosted by her to buy her
flowers thought she was other than a
regular lei woman. This character was
well sustained by Miss Kate Vida. Three
mysterious figures occupied much of the
attention of the spectators. These were
two masculine figures wearing black
iominos. The third, evidently of the OPP
oosite Sex, always walking between the
1ther two, wore an evening dress over
which was a linen duster and a hood :
concealed her features. The manner OF
Walter Dillingham; gave him away de-
ipite his effort to hold his disguise, while !
he young lady in the duster was Miss
Nary Widdifield who forgot herself at
critical moment and laughed. The
