Mechanics Mask Carnival


 Last Saturday evening the writer went down to Smiths drug store, bought a i5-ceut mask with big nose and grin on it, and followed the crowd down to the Natatorium to see the fun. c. E. Bennett and his ''boys"-the Treadwell machine shop department were giving mask oall. At the door we had no trouble in convincing the doorkeepers, Hugh McRae and Tom Dobson, of our identity. Once inside, a jolly scene was presented.
 There were were devils and angels, cowboys and Indians, jockies, negroes, suowballs, soldiers, sailors and police men, squaws and queens, Highlanders and Dutchmen, and SO on.
 Many of the costumes were beauti. fuI. some were grotesque, and some as ugly as they were intended to be. 1t looked as if a powerful hand had reach ed into every couutry, picking one here. two there, seeking specimen of every tribe and people. "The Little German band made up of slim Dutch men and fat Dutchmeu, marched around the hall playing "Oh!vere oh, were is my leetle dog gone2"
 It really did you good to look at that crowd of merrymakers. A fine orches tra played the tunes, and the carnival queen locked arms with ths Indian chiag, the school girl paired with the policemen, and away they went, all uu. conscious of their grotesque appear anee. Surely the girls must have known that back of those horrible grin niug masks were the bright eyes and ruddy faces of their boy friends, elses they had never consented to dance with them. Some of the disguises worn by the girls were odd, bu@ they all had an element of beauty. On the other hand, some of the costumes worn by the mere men were horrible to look at.
 It was really @ relief when, at 1915, those who wished, were allowed to re- move their masks, and the fair faces .aud the strong faces took the places oe the criDu.ug counterfeits. The hall was walm and the cIose masks added to the discomfort. So it was a flushed, pe, spiring lot of faces that were headed toward the counter where the punch was served, and for a time the pretty cu5-gtass punch cups had busy time of it.
 But when Dad Turnar's orchestra started a two-steP, it was all forgotten, and away they went again, around and around, a performance that was kept up until it almost cracked the Sabbath.
 There are lots of the Treadwell boys who have liberal hearts, but the mem bers of Bennett's Bunch ate among the foremost as entertainers. The affair was well planned and we'll carried out. There was not hitch, all was merry, and besides. it was all free. It will be remem bered as one of the jolly old times on Douglas Island.
