Leaues From Our Poets
The Man Next Door To Me

By "Optimo."
A quiet fellow, he,
The man next door to me
He never says word.
And if speak to him
He just looks stern and grim,
As if he never heard.
/ do not know his name,
Nor yet from whence he came,
But one things clear to me,
On which I'll lay bet;.
He has no "etyket,"
He never visits me.
Thru evenings lone and drear,
Tho he is living near,
He acts not fair at all.
Tho he was here before
settled down next door
He never deigns to call.
And when we form in line
And journey out to dine
He just looks straight ahead.
No word of greeting he
Extends to you or me
As down the path we tread.
Vot SometimoS nc uuo cir
And try to eat bit
Hell talk a reg lar streak.
But when the bell goes "WHAM"
He shuts up like a clam,
Now isn't he freak
Then on sunny day
When we go out to play,
He'll unload all his grief
In my unwilling ear,
And tales of yesteryear
He'll tell, beyond belief.
He had in days of yore,
'Steen million "scads" or more,
A mighty man was he.
And as he would unwind
Great tales from off his mind,
He'd chortle in his glee.
And think I'd fall in line
And worship at his shrine,
Nor knew that / could see
Thru all his stories raw,
Trace of the yellow claw,
This man next door to me.

frocks. The skirt Of the pretty bru-

dered if it were too short and step
ped out on the floor little to get
her companions opinion.
"Just right" was the judgnntnt of
the stunning blonde, who sat by the
table drinking her cup Of tea.
"And the the shoes ?"
They were new, and high, and had
tips of black.
'Modish," purred the tea drinker.
The standing girl wore frock Of
rose colored charmeuse, made with
a tunic that was really a big square
for the waist. The tunic was faced
with a dull dark blue and, where the
folds fell, the blue facing showed
against the background Of rose.
The waist recalled an Eton jacket.
It buttoned up the front with buttons
of blue and loops Of the rose. The
back was a trife longer than the
front, and hung In points under the
arms. It was finished with balls Of
the rose silk. The points were faced
with blue. The rolling collar was of

the blue silk, and could be worn eth
er high or low.
The new Castle sleeves were of rose
colored Georgette crepe, embroidered
in antique gold thread and with
opaque white beads to match the Cir
die.
The girl with the cup in her hand
wore a gown Of gray faille and navy
blue serge, which hung straight in the
front with only little sash to desig-
nate the waist line, while the back was
reminiscent of an Eton jacket. It was
Of blue serge, and had the new cape
effect. It was trimmed on one side
with the buttons, and on the other
with the bottom holes.
From the double collar peeped an
other of dainty white with a frill Of
lace. The relief touch of color was
given by tiny apple green tie.
The hat was Of Milan straw, the
crown being of the loosely woven
straw so popular nowadays. The fac
ing was of apple green silk, and
around the edge Of the hat was
single band of ostrich.

Jr., the wedding to occur In April.
Miss Parkhill was one of the maids
of honor at the Gasparilla ball, a sign
of the popularity she has enjoyed dur
ing her short and happy social career.
She is one of the loveliest of Tampa's
young girls, with sweet and VIM
ming personality, that makes her be-
loved by both young and old.
Mr.. Lowry is connected with Lowry
& Prince In the insurance business,
and is the eldest SON of the former.
He II captain Of the Tampa Rifles,
and is a young man held in the high

tuning had been so carefully plan
ned that not once were the eff
fects duplicated, except in the
instances of Miss Frances Brent and
Mrs. Golderman, and Miss Evelyn
Maxwell and Miss Marguerite Blake
ly, who had purposely duplicated their
costumes.
Under the direction of Mr.. Reeba,
the San Carlos decorator, the audi
forum presented a most picturesque
background for the dancers. The col
unns were black and white and the
entire wall space was covered with
checker board effect of black and
white squares, varied with black and
white stripes, to give the needed con-
trast. The ensemble was most artis-
tic and gave just the touch to complete
whole perfect in its successful ac-
complshment of design and develop
ment.
The first half dozen dances were
en- masque and the ball a leap year
affair throughout, the maids and ma
irons having the privilege Of select
ing their own partners.
DR.. L. De M. Blocker, president of
the Carnival association, assisted
Miss Curtis, who was in charge of the
entertainment. Mr.. Will Fisher made
the presentation speech. The music
was particularly good, Anderson
Douglass orchestra playing.
Few more successful functions have
ever been given In Pensacola's social
history than the Black and White ball,
which has so cleverly opened the car
nival affairs, and which will be fol-
lowed by the tissue paper ball, which
is to be another of the entertainments
due to the interest and originality of
the girls and young married women
who each season do so much to make
the carnival a success.

BLACK AND WHITE BALL
INTRODUCES CARNIVAL FUNCTIONS

The Black and White ball at the
San Carlos auditorium last night,
given by the maids and matrons of
Pensacola, who have SO many sue
cesses to their credit, added other lau-
rels to those already theirs, and was
one OF the brilliant achievements Of
the winter, both from a social and ar
tiseic standpoint.
The bizaree effectiveness of the
black and white in costuming and dec
Grafton was most striking, and gave
one the impression of having for a
time stepped into poster-land, where
an artistic note was struck in the
handling Of the two contrasts.
For the most beautiful and unique
costume, the silver loving cup was
presented to Miss Patsy Smith of
North Carolina, the guest of Miss
Evelyn Maxwell, who was charming in
a quaint costume of the period of the
sixties, the old-faishioned pantaletts,
reticule and sunshade and withal the
most delightful manner Of ante-bel-
lum courtesy, which added TO the at
Effectiveness Of her role.
In the grand march the many won
derfully artistic costumes were
shown TO the utmost advantage, and
It seemed as If every period and time
had been seized upon and every bit
Of nursery lore brought into requisi-
tion to give character to the costumes,
which were not only most original, but
beautiful in the extreme.
There were pages and maids, fol-
lies and fairies, Columbia and Column
bine; Night and Mother Goose, and
witches with black cats running riot,
and black swallows in graceful flight
across white backgrounds.
There were striped effects and
polka dots and graceful draperies and
bouffant skirts, and withal the cos
