The HAMILTON
GUESTS AND INVITED coTTAG-
ERS AT MASQUERADE SATuR.
Brilliant Party; Some Striking and
OrininaI Costumes Worn.


Merriment pure and simple charac-
terized the masked ball at The Ham
ilton Saturday evening. The affair
was a private one at which those cot
tagers receiving invitations presented
themselves at the door in mask, and
mingled with the Hamilton guests in the
hotel until 9 o'clock when the whole
group of costumed characters were
| assembled in the dining room. where
| they took partners for the entry in
TO the brilliantly lighted dance hail.
AS each couple entered, their costume
| and character representation were
| announced in a stentorian voice by
Judge j. j. Miller of Pittsburg. while
appropriate march music was played
by Mr.. Walter G.. Rogers of Dorches-
ter. Although there have been cos
tune parties before at The Hamilton
this was its first masked affair and
| the enthusiasm with which those en-
tering into the fun were imbued was
impaired even TO the guests who had
not dressed for the party.
