FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1920.
Elks Masquerade.


Under the auspices of the B. P. o.
E., No. 679, a grand mask ball was
given on the night of Friday, Jan.
30, at the Elks Home in Union City.
The lodge has given on former &C
casions a number of social enter
tainments and many important af-
fairs under val ous arrangements at
that place have featured the social
calendar of Union City, but this par
ticular event has probably eclipsed
them all. In many respects it was
a social triumph, also benefit to the
order in augmenting the building
fund, now engaging the attention of
local Elks.
The attendance was good, ar
rargementS extensive and the COS
tunes particularly elaborate, having
been imported from various cities.
The music was suited to the occasion
and the dancing, of the most modern
order, was conducted under highly
conventional and conservative lines.
Dancing began at a seagonable hour
with the grand march, under the
leadership of Mr.. and Mrs. John Wad-
dell, ushoring in the characters in
costume, after which at later hour
they were unmcsked.
