GT with a multitude of lights and
~ flowers and sheltering a company
of beautiful women and gallant escorts

a scene that for brilliancy will not be
eclipsed by any local function this win
ter.
The occasion was the opening ball of
the winter season at the club and ush-
cred in a series of events that will form
program of marked interest.
Last evening was a memorable one
also in that it was a debutantes' ball
six young women at this time making
their formal entrance into the social life
of the city. Each and all were as sweet
and charming as ever debutante could
be, and so were their gowns, each wear
ing white and carrying big shower

They were Miss Edna Newmark. Miss

down ON the floor in a large circle, each
of the masked figures trying to guess the
identity of his neighbor, and at the same
time to disguise his own. A dainty pocket
knife was handed around the circle IN q
mysterious manner, eacn one OF the char'
acters passing it to its neighbor, Whls-
pering the words: Its dagger"
Then Uncle Abe of Arkansas, the farm
er with the long board told story, a
blood curdling ghost story, that made
everybody feel creepy. AS he finished the
clown man began to moan. Just then a
brave knight fell over on the floor with a
frenzied shrek.
The strain was too much and all the
girls shrieked and clutched each other.
Then the lights were turned on and with
sigh of relief every one unmasked.
Nobody knew who l was" boasted Lit
tie Bo-Peep. "Of course / did; / knew 1t
all the time" insisted the black fairy.
Mary Jane and Buster Brown and Tige
were there. Tige sat up in chair and
shook hands with everybody. The fierce
wild man from Montana stalked about the
room, shooting every one with his toy
cap pistol until finally he pierced the
heart of the ballet girl and the two went
off in the corner to tell ghost stories.
In a huge tub in the corner large red
apples fioated temptingly and sank eiu-
sively beneath the teeth that attempted
to bite into them. The young people
tempted fate with row of lighted can
dies blowing to extinguish them and thus
discover how long it will be before they
will be married
At the same time another group of rev.
elers was trying to pin a paper tail on
to a large black cat that was pasted to a
piece of canvas. The many tails were
stuck all over the walls of the room and
on every portion OF the poor cat except
that place where the tail belonged.
Then came refreshments. Tige enjoyed
them to the limit, consuming any guam
tity of mince pie. fudge, cake and other
dainties. Teddy Roosevelt made speeches
until no one but Tige would listen to him.
Among those who participated in the
delightful affair were: Winifred Keath
as a ghost. Lois Sessions as queen, LII
Ian Moss as heart of night, Pauline
Grant as cowgirl, Mildred Fix as czarina,
