The private masque dancing party.
given by the members of the E. O. K.
club Friday evening, was one of the
most successful in the city'S social
history. The guests assembled at
SpaffOrd'S hall about S:45 O'Clock, each
intent upon having the best time the
occasion could offer. when Lam mbert's
orchestra played the opening waltz at
8 O'Clock, it was strangely beautiful
sight to see the silent group Of un-
knownS glide gracefully about the
hall So well had the party been
planned that very few knew each
other, thus making the surprises,
when the unmasking time came one
hour later, more pleasant and genuine
After a number of two-StepS and
waltzes had been INDUCED in, the
dignified movements Of the grand
march took place. The guests were
then asked to group themselves at
one end of the hall and pretty fash
light picture was taken.
The dancing continued after the
unmasking until 1:3O. That everyone
had an enjoyable time is putting it
very mildly. ALI were elated and
many were the praises heard for the
royal manner in which the e. o. K.
club had entertained it's guests.
