The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-02-24

Sattn, the bklTL tWOTn 10 tne huttht pa
raded before his most intimate friends
and was not discovered. When his mask
was removed he stated that every so
often for. fifteen years or more he has
succeeded in fooling every one. Man
nie's dainty feet and ankles are what
made the deception so easy. Toots
Lansing, in black spangled gown,
worn en- traine, use no mask and made
a successful figure of a society girl, but
his walk was not quite SO womanly as
that of Phillips The characters were
capitally sustained.
There were pierrots in qnartets,
dominoed figures by the hundred, a
lady in violet, dozens as Spanish girls
and gypsies, Turkish ladies, hoboes,
mediaeval knights and clowns and
ladies of the time of Chaucer; there !
were fancy costumes, the wearers being
unidentified, and the " Mysterious Lady
Of the Telephone whose identity was
discovered. One girl had waste paper
basket for n hat and hobble which
hobbled; Chinese mandarins waltzed
with ladies in motley.
Many of those who attended the Kir-
mess in costume wore the same gowns
at the Carnival, and many other cos
TUNES were beautiful and of rich ma
terials. Altogether it was one of the
prettiest bal Mosques ever given.
The Judges had a difficult task, but
! decided that Mr.. Nett, as a Chinese
mandarin, wore the handsomest gown;
that Mrs. W. D. Adams, as a Canter-
bury lady, wore the handsomest WON
ans costume; that Miss Gault, the
waste paper basket girl, had the most
original and best sustained costume.
The maskers unmasked at ten o'clock,
following which there was general dane
ing until midnight.
This evening another dance win be
given by the Elks, at which the
masq1ers and those not masked viii be
given an equal opportunity. 1t is the
desire of the Elks that as many as pos
sible come again in costume, to add to
the gayety of the affair, but all
will be allowed to go on the ball
rroom floor at half-past eight and dance
as long as they desire.
The Amazing Maze.
The maze which the committee head
( ed by @. Macintosh constructed, under
the name of the Elks' Tangle Trail,
wasn't so good that you couldn't get
out Of it, but as an example of the
straight and narrow path gone wrong it
was quite excellent.
i Some member of the antlered fra
ternity must have had kinks in his
brain beyond the ordinary run of things
to devise real labyrinth, where, as the
program remarked, you and yours
can be separated, the "yours" stand
ling for the honored guest of the even
ing, most Of it, or that which WASH It
in ten-dollar gold pieces (and some OF
y that), remaining in the hands of the
hosts when the evening came to an end.
