one who joined in giving the slogan its
strictest construction went en- masque.
Ii was a riot of adornment and the va

dances OF the less spectacular sort. There
was very generous response on the
part Of the public and needless TO say,
had there been disposition to let some

Prizes offered by the society for the
most comieal and the most original cos
tunes were awarded near intermission
time by jury of three, who had care

went the prize for the most original
feminine costume. Her attire was made
