The Wis. Ball.
The fourth annual masquerade ball
under the auspices of the Village I'm
provement Society will be given Friday
evening, Feb. Dist 1t is to be a white
masquerade. No one will be admitted
to the floor unless dressed in white, but
any variety of white costume is alowa-
bic, the gauziest of evening dresses,
fancy coutumes Of all kinds even
sheet and pillow case draperies.
This restriction in regard to color applies
to gentlemen as well as ladies' These
white balls have been given in many
places with great success, and
the view from the gallery is sure
to be both unique and beautiful. 1t
is thought best not to have a cos
tuner from Boston for fear of smallpox
infection but arrangements have beer
made with the tailor, Valdez, to furnish
gentlemen's suits at prices from 81 sc
upwards.
