Halloween Dance,

Halloween Dance.
In number and display the Hallowe en-
dance in the Frosr burg Opera House,
third floor, Fridly evening of last week,
was probably Frostburg's greatest and
most spec acular function.
The diversity of costumes was be-
wildering. representing all ndtiOaaliics
and probably all ages, and the way each
seemed to enj " her and his jncoy. filled
the hall to the brim with mirth.
The music, too, rendered by all the
modern orchestra pieces under the di
rection of Prof. George n Belll, was all
that could be desired. The grand march
was a stately proceeding, continuing
some time, but when the first waltz was
sounded there were at least 30 couples
jumped into it with the first note.
Aside there was service of refresh
ments, including old-fashioned cider,
and nobody was permitted to famish or
languish.
The patronesses-Mr f. c. Beall,
Mrs J. A Caldwell, Mrs d. a. Benson,
Mrs. l.. B. Abbott, and Mrs. H. V.
Hesse, did their part in exquisite
taste, and the committee essrs.

The most striking costume ~ That
is hard one. But if the JOURNAL were
competent to determine it would desig
nate the one worn by a Cumberland
visitor in the uncertain attire of ancient
Rome, mistakenly coiffured as woman
of 7O-a figure of lofty carriage and
classic face-a Ben Hur
