The Easter Star Masquerade.

Inc most SuCceSSIul baIi
that has ever been danced in Grand
Forks was that given Monday evening
at the Hotel Dacotah by Acacia chap
ter, Order of the Eastern Star. over
sixty couples came ell masque and
en- costume. and from 3 until II
o'clock when tho masks were removed
more wild guesseS We're made than
the nation would make on the prcsi-
Dental choice. Many wives came
without their husbands and many
maids without their swecthehrts and
vice versa 81 that the evening hours
We're me continuous puzzle for all.
the ball room by Il lame card and
throughout the evening she was
known as Bessie" Dolly" Beck
ie," Frieda" or some other similar
cognomen quite unlike her own. while
the gentlemen were only known by
numbers. This added to the amuse-
ment of filling the programs and
many a time there was n wild chase
for "Biddy'' or Gretchen by him
who had forgotten what she wore.
For variety the costumes We're the
very best and the crowds of specta-
tors had a most interesting evening.
W. g. Mcdonald was perhaps the
popular choice for the best ana most
Disgusting makeup. AS a colored gem
tieman he was quite a hit and his at
tire consisted OF bright red Swallow
tail" white trousers. five inch choker.
yellow tic and silk hat with the char
Rcteristir dent in il. Tie carried an
umbrella and suit case and stepped
around like a real colorcd gentleman.
Joe Mccoy came i'll skirts and was
n puzzle to everyone until he removed
his disguise. He was graceful and
den1ure and AT no time gave the least
suspicion that he did not belong in
the circle in which he constan tly
mingled. Victor Rasmussen as the
green country farmer kept everybody
guessing and the group of clowns
were an amusing family. The mon
executed various other ideas with OK
cellent results and non them were
MeXicans. cowboys. riders, Buster
Browns, military mon. sailors. band
boys and Indian chiefs.
Among the ladies there were some
very handsome costumes as we'll as
some very clever and funny ones.
Miss Frances Owen was Httired as a
Highland lassie and received many
compliments OH her costume which
was made In Scotland. Mrs. w. q.
Mcdonald wore a Very handsome
Spanish raiment. Mrs. Frank kermott
wore a rich oriental robe. Mrs. Chas.
Bartles. Mrs. j. d. Turner, Miss Ida
hanson n scores OF others had
spent d great deal of care in donning
a masquerade attire that attracted no.
tice from everyone. Mrs. F. A. Par
sons and Miss Josie johnson as the
1ama girls We're the cleverest pair
son as sis Hopkins was a perfect
makeup. School girls. flower girls,
Red Riding Hoods, witches, night and
day. peasant girls, Red Cross nurses,
Spanish dancers. colonial maids and
Martha Washinstons We're we'll dis
trihuted non The other and Very
few We're discovered by those who
came to see how many they could
guess correctly.
During tn" evening the hostesses
