ol mdsQuordulnR ID williams con gregated at the opera house Frida, night of last week to do honor tc ISt. Patrick. The crowd commenced to go in about 9:15 p. m.. from tho devils grim face up to Uncle Sam's stately form and genial countenance
 Squatting around on the f1ool with an Indian basket on her back going through all the stunts of an Indian squaw, Miss Lillian Terry performed her duty so we'll thai many people imagined her to be 8 real squaw, and although her face was not masked, she had her long black hair scattered around it SC we'll. along with the Indian pain, marks characteristic to the squaw, that her most intimate friends did not recognize her. In her right hand she grasped the regulation "tom tom" and in her left she had a bacelona. With frantic gestures and hideous noise of the "tom-tom'' she mingled with the masqueraders and so we'll did she play her part that the judges gave her first prize unanimously.

 A few others, while failing to re- ceive prizes, are deserving of men, tion: Mrs. Alb Wilson was the most appropriately costumed per son in the hall, having a green dress with shamrocks and 8 harp, in honor of old St. Patrick. Many expected her to take first prize. Her little daughter, Dorothy, dressed as a Chinese girl, was real cute and she marched around the hall as though she owned half of it.
 Prof. Green as Uncle Sam," tall and stately. with Miss Louise Fousha as "Liberty:" were com mented upon by many spectator. as within the bounds of the prizes
 Frank A. Boulin, representing "The Williams News" and "Ameri can Biscuit" was discussed fol some time by the judges as prize winner. Many thought his cos tune was of paper, but in reality i, was of linen, with the latest edi' tion of The Williams News printed on the suit; even his pleated linen shirt and white hat were stamped "The Williams News" His white shoes, in contrast with his suit made him perfectly dressed as 6 city reporter. With pencil and pad  lin hand he strolled among the masqueraders as though taking their costumes, which he did after the unmasking. His costume cost about $15.
 Miss Marie Calderwood also rep resented THE NEWS. and although her costume was of paper, so perfec, did it fit that realism was stamped all oyer it. THE NEWS extends thanks to these two costumers fol their representation of the best newspaper in the city of Williams I Little Miss Mildred Finney al
