FAD OF MASKING
SET BY QUEEN
ELIZABETH
Then Queen Anne Tried to
Stop It, But Great Ladies
Wouldn't Obey Her

Apropos of the fad of collecting
masks, theatrical, Indian and
others, Francis Bacon somewhere
remarks that politeness wells vice
Just as dress masks wrinkles.
n Perhaps this saying of his was
founded on the circumstance that
Queen Elizabeth not only wore
dresses Of increasing splendor with
increasing age, but that she also
used occasionally to appear masked
on great gala occasions. The mode
thus royalty given, was not, how
ever, very speedily or generally
followed.
The introduction of masks as a
fashion appears to have obtained,
in the language Of old authors, only
about the year 1860. Pepys, in
1868, says that he went to the
Royal Theater, and there saw
Howard's comedy of THE Com
mittee," or THE Honest Thief, :"
and speaking about Viscount Falk-
enberg and his wife, the third
daughter of Cromwell, who were at
tending the performance, that "she
looks well as have known her,
and well clad; but when the house
began to fill, she put on her wizard.
which OF late has become
great fashion among the ladies,
which hides their whole face -
Needless to say Mr.. Pepys hurried
to the French house Of Madame
Charett and purchased a wizard for
his wife.
The fashion was still in full
force in 1867, but by the end of
the seventeenth century the fash
ion of masks was being tarnished
"by vulgarity" and the practice of
concluding comedies with a Mar
riage in a Mask, was already con-
sidered as q stale device"
The mode, however, still held on
to the theater. The latter was
never more licentious than at
that time and the ladies never so
much loved to resort thither. They
went in masks. The fashion, after
it had been indifferently well worn
by the ladies, of course fell to
their maids, and Abigail dropped the
wizard which Lady, Betty dropped.
In MalcoIm's London" leigh
teenth century,, a writer is quoted,
whose communication shows whith-
er the masks had fallen in 1871.
In company, he visited on boxing
day" the upper part of stable
where a three penny hop" was
held, where I'VE found near a
hundred people of both sexes,
some masked. others not" The
writer called the company "a COM
pIete nursery for the gallows."
Queen Anne issued a decree in
the second year of her reign to
the effect that no woman be
allowed or presume to wear a
wizard mask i'm either sof the
theaters.'' This decree had just
the effect that might have been
expected. The houses played Lion.

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

Tuesday evening, Nov. 10th, the us.
ual choir rehearsal was held, a
large attendance being on hand.
Wednesday evening a special meet,
ing of the church was held to deter
mine whether or not the present pol
icy of the church with regard to the
community use of its building shall
be continued. 1t developed that very
few were opposed to the community
use of the building without 're-
quired donation" A larger number
were opposed to the use of the build
ing for card parties and for public
dances under church auspices. But
the sentiment of the church was, 20
per cent of it, in favor of continuing
its present policy. A. resolution, a
copy of which will be found else
where in this paper, printed at the
Church's request, was adopted by a
vote of 81 to 16, and defines clearly
the policy of the church. A committee
to supervise such use of the building,
and empowered to draw up suitable
regulations for it's use was appointed
by the pastor and approved by the
Church. The committee is as follows
Rev. L. H. Skidmore, Mrs. Amos Rad

COST OF MARKING ROADS

The marking of Wisconsin roads
which is now being done by the state
highway commission, costs the state
about $40 mile on an average with
5000 new signs and 10000 metal
markers to be put in place, according
to Nj. w. Thorkelson, secretary of
the state highway commission.
The work Of marking roads was
previously carried on through II
counties but is now conducted thrh
the central office in order to gain uni
formity. The metal markers are made
at the state prison and the board
signs indicating mileage to different
towns, caution and danger, detours,
places of interest, city limits and
state lines are made at division Off
ces of the highway commission.
Each sign receives three coats of
paint" Mr. Thorkelson declared "A
gallon of paint will cover Is to 20
signs; the wooden markers alone re-
quire $50 gallons of paint each year
When in place the signs cost $3.50 to
SO and average a cost of $40 mile
The route markers are placed at in
tervals of four to mile, and the
signs are set up every three or four
miles. In addition to new signs, old
ones are repaired and reprinted each
year. This work is taken care of by
the county offices through force of
patrol men.
