The domino dance given by Mrs. j.
l.. Carter at Academy Hall "Wednesday
evening brought out very lively party.
Besides number who looked on at the
fun, some thirty were in dominoes and
masks, and while there was some variety
in color and make, still there was be-
wildering sameness in the general effect
as well as a bewildering uncertainty
about the identity of individuals. The
masking gave opportunity for many OF
those harmless but unconventional antics
common TO such occasions. After three
or four dances the unmasking came, and
though it was a cool evening, brought
| relief to the sweltering dancers. 1t also
produced some surprises. Refreshments
were then served, and the dancing was
continued till midnight. 1t was very
nice party, and added another to the list
of pleasant social affairs of the season.
