The band boys are planning to give
a big masquerade ball on the evening
of February 9th, at Lucca, North Da-
kota.
The absolutely correct coming dress
for gentlemen:
Evening Dress Styles.
Evening dress does not vary much
this season from what it was last year.
The trousers are perhaps q trifle
looser over the calves than they were
then, and have consequently less
shape. The use of braid down the
outer seams Is nearly obsolete in the
best set, but 1t Is q frequent fashion
In middle class society. A white waist
coat is worn at dances and evening
receptions, but not at home dinners;
at theaters and evening concerts, but
not at public dinners. These are the
correct rules. All of them are trans
crossed by considerable number Of
people, just as there are always peo-
pie who will wear fold collar with
a mourning coat, or q Tattersall waist
coat with full day dress, or O waist
coat slip with a fancy waistcoat; but
these exceptions do not make any diff
ference to the correct rule, which can
only be learned by using discrimina-
; ton in observing and mixing with
correct society Similarly, there
are plenty of double-breasted
evening waistcOats to be seen, and
some of them are even made either by
tailors who are not well-informed, or
by those whose clients insist upon
being a law unto themselves; but the
correct style is to wear only single
breasted waistcoats, day or night.
Again, watch chains are often seen in
the evening, though they should not
be. Fob chains are practically obso-
lete.
Mrs. F. E. Packard, who has lately
moved here from Crookston, will be
an addition socially.
The law is coming our way more
and more. Two young ladies in Brook.
lyn were caught not long ago mas
querading in male attire. When ar
rested and brought before the magis.
trate, his decision was, "The law per-
mits women with husbands to wear
trousers, but find it is forbidden for
spinsters to do anything of the sort.
The code says, A femme sole shall
not assume the apparel of the oppo-
site SEX So, young women, you have
violated the law and must be sent to
JAIL"
Now what do you think of that?
First one Judge decides we have a
right to Ngo through their trousers
pockets and take what we find, but
that a decision would come that we
could don these self-same trousers is
overwhelming and opens up possibili-
ties we never dreamed of before
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Warren are
spending the winter in California.
A gown to be worn at the charity
ball tonight should be put on exhi-
bition afterwards as 1t has been made
entirely by three prominent mar
ried men in town. Every stitch
in it these gentlemen have put in and
they do say there were some funny
times when it came to the fitting. One
gentleman claimed it was not tight
enough around the hips-another said
1t was too full in front and Mr.. c.
simply said he would not put in an
other stitch if they still insisted on
having tail to it. The young lady
was brave all during the ordeal, but
confided not long ago to We editor that
she had intended to wear it decollete
and it was originally made that way
but owing to having been treated as
living pin cushion in the fitting pro-
cess-she had decided to put yoke
in herself
