MASQUERADE BALL

Despite the fact that the Woman's
Club house has been the scene of many
brilliant social gatherings, none can
surpass the masquerade ball last night
given by the Eight O'Clock Dancing
Club. At $50 nearly all the dancers
had arrived. There were all manner
o. disguises, some handsome and
others unique and cleverly designed,
and many dainty costumes, and with
these different combinations the EFF
feet was most dazzling to the eye, and
/: was some time after the grand
march before any of the dancers were
known to the spectators and each
other.
Davis orchestra furnished the mus
ic and for this dance several addi-
tional instruments were added. This
orchestra furnishes music always in
keeping with the occasion. Last night
the musicians were dressed in fiashy
clown suits and their appearance was
favorably commented upon by all.
A grand march opened the ball and
was led by Mrs. Jack Camp and Mr..
Albert Harriss and it was not until
after the sixth dance that unmasking
took place, and up to that time scarce
ly any of the dancers knew each other
and the spectators were well enter
tanned endeavoring to find out who
was who. Indeed, it was a resplendent
occasion and will mark the annals OF
1921 in Ocala as one of the most bril-
liant of entertainments.
At II o'clock an elegant supper
was served, consisting of a chicken
salad course, sandwiches. olives anC
waters and ice cream, cake and coffee
The nnbers of the Eight O'CLOCK
Dancing Club certainly won for them
selves much praise over the ball anC
their invited guests showed their ap
preciation by the manner in which
they costumed themselves, which add
cd greatly to making the occasion tn,
wonderful success that it was.
