MASQUERADE BALL.
Kinman Home Thrown Open to Young People in Masque Friday Eve ming Many Striking Costumes Worn Danced Until
 Late Hour.

The delights of masquerade party were enjoyed to their fullest extent Friday evening by a large party of young people, who assembled at the home of Miss Noreene Kinman under every disguise imaginable. Many of the costumes had been secured from the city houses, which deal in such furnishings and the others did not suf- fer in comparison.
 The company included eminent per sonages as well as grotesque and amusing individuals, who had not walked in the halls of Fame. From the laborer in jeans and blue shirt to representative of the nobility, from the ruler of Hades to the Greek god dess, from the bats of this world to the angel child of the next, from the colonial dame to the Twentieth Gen. tury maid, ages, nationalities, indi- viduals and themes were revived or anticipated in appropriate costume.
 A masque hides multitude of char acteristics and it was indeed study to ascertain the identity of the differ ent ones, who moped about fearing to speak lest they betray themselves through voice not easily disguised.
 Music was furnished by colored orchestra and dancing was enjoyed until eleven o'clock before the mas ques were ordered removed. Every one seemed to be in the best of humor and the success of the whole affair is plainly written in the late hour to which dancing was enjoyed.
 Light refreshments of sandwiches, pickles and coffee were nicely served and the company included a large number of those who looked on and found an equal pleasure in the event with the maskers
 The make-ups were all excellent, too much so to impartially specialize one above another. Originality and cleverness were demonstrated i'll the costumes of this motley company, where hobo mixed with lord. The fun occasioned by effort to distinguish friends beneath the masque will long make this event happy rememb- rance.
