an attractive host of little ones. '.in
real life" the troupe of knights gallant
and ladies fam. who participated in
yesterdays masque ball at Christen-
sens, must be.
Yet. il is not TO be believed that un-
der any conditions could they present
"A more attractive appearance-an ap-
pearauce more calculated to storm
'grown-ups' +" hearts than they did yes
terday afternoon. Even the "Mephisto-
phcles' and the braves were genu-
inely appealing for their ilk. while the
Colonial Danes and the Queen
Fays" and the peasant girls and the
hover girls and a hundred others were
irresistible
The George Washing tons'' were so
good TO look at that they might have
been excused for a hundred stories
while there was none but would have
excused a covert glance from over the

one might have expected 10 hear him
make one of HIS celebrated ''resolu-
lions" And. so it continued through
out. from persOnified classic heroes and
heroines down to the age of rough rid
erS and military perSOnages. To at
tempt to pick out one or even a dozen
or half a hundred of the best costumed
would be a large task, SO good was
each.
The bal masque had been announced
for the hours of to o'clock yesterday
afternoon. and by the opening hour
there We're fully 200 children, pupils of
l. j. Christensen, and invited guests,
present. In age they ranged from to

Who Are the Little Kids"7
The mention of age brings with it
Problems to whether or not the ball
was an affair for little ones" 1t all
depends on the point of view. 1t would
take more than a little courage to 50
cali it after hearing a 7-yeaT-old telling
his fellows en- masque that only the
little kids are taking part in this
dance referring to a certain number
ON the programme.
If interesting conversational powers
may be taken as a standard of age.
then a denial that it was for little
ones is i'm order. for they talked as in
ing, however, and not talking. was in
order. and there We're few who sat
out" any of the numbers
The grand march was called shortly
after $3.50. none too soon for those pres

pated in the masquerade, and of this
number about 100 came in costume.
OF these latter, large number of the
fair sex showed Il weakness for fairy
and Geisha girl gowns There were

present were Quilted right down to the
cavalry side arms. With the flower
girls there was perhaps given the larg-
est range of taste and harmonious eff

neglected the opportunity.
SO far as elaborate detail Of the vari-

briefly among the prettiest seem" It

and the PaTb i'm which they appeared.
