they whirled away. Her neighbor
had mentioned that she had worn
this dress before to a party given by
this group. She looked back for Ben
He was dancing with a merry look
ing person in a tight old fashioned
red dress and wearing a hat with a
wierd wired plume standing erect
from it.
Two more dances and Time to
unmask was shouted.
Margaret looked for her friends.
She had whispered to Ben that they
must be either the pair of kittens or
the Raggedy Ann and Andy over in
the corner.
1t was the Kittens who snatched
off their hoods and tore down upon
them. Come and meet everyone,
they cried. IntroductiOns got mixed
up some way, and suddenly there
was a merry circle dancing around
Ben and Margaret. Just as sud-
denly it broke and Virginia Reel
they all cried
1t was a strange Virginia Reel.
One had TO laugh at the nonsense

men were genially endeavoring to

fumed aisle, observing the ventila-
ton, temperature within and with
out, and the cases of flowers ready
for the early morning train. Then
on he went through the connecting
sheds to the kitchen where its light
revealed him. Ben was this side
of thirty-fve, the kind of an unas-
suming individual one would expect
to be a supreme gardener. He was
quite bald save for a fringe just
above his ears. He was slender and
gave the appearance of having worn
the same clothes year in and year
out.
Getting Ready for Supper
Margaret was busy with supper.
She wasn't much to look at either.
She, too, was slender, fiat chested
her black hair unmanageable, her
eyes not exactly straight, but with
all one felt instantly her kindly at
titude. All the neighbors' children
called her Auntie Margaret. She
wore a faded blue wool dress, white
apron and a grey sweater
Not much romance had touched
their lives during the ten years of
marriage. There had been so much
plain hard work. And tonight they
sat down to supper much the same
as they had day after day.
But it wasn't quite the same.
Both felt a thrill tonight of which
they did not speak. But Margaret
could follow Ben's thought, when he
asked if she had finished her dress.
Yes, it was all ready tD put on.
A neighbor had invited them to a
Christmas Masquerade. And also
had offered them costumes which
they were glad to accept. Margaret
had needed to adjust khe dress a
little, when she tried it on. And the
reflection in the glass had been,-
well so different,-so, we'll, pretty,
Ben liked to have her look pretty,
but lately she had been too tired to
care much about her looks.
Wears a Simple Outfit
Ben's outfit was quite simple and
hadn't needed much adjustment.
She helped him tie a wide gay red
sash about his waist and slip a vel
vet sleeveless jacket over his head,
tied at the back, and heavy gold cir
cles for ear rings finished his cos
tune. She stood back and looked
at him and then gave him a little
hug, and went away smiling. Why
Ben actually looked doshing! Dear
quiet Ben, but he did look really
like a movie hero, almost.
Her dress was easy to manage
with a series of little snaps down
the front. She slipped inGo it with
a little shiver of pleasure. She had
had a few party dresses. And this
one seemed designed to hide her
and provide her with an
grace. The skirt hung in
pillows of black net and the bod
Ice glistened with sequins of black.
A very high comb stood in her hair.
Over it hung a lace mantialla drap-

ed over her arms hiding sharp ell
bows and even hiding lines about
her neck. She thrilled again .sls the
reflection in the glass. Ben told
her she looked very nice, which was
his highest praise, and that he call
ed a cab. -.
Worries About Margaret
On the way over Ben wondered
again about the sort of evening they
would have. Margaret surely did
look fine,-he hated to have her dis
appointed about a party. Maybe this
one would be different.
A strange figure in domino ad-
mitted them to the house and point
ed the way upstairs. Both had
slipped on their masks. In the lad
les room Margaret found other
wOmen, in all sorts of outfits, SILENT
ly exchanging services, pointing
out the powder puff and mirror. No
word was spoken for voices were
too we'll known.
She joined Ben and went down to
the long living room. They stood
a bit uncertainty there for a mo-
ment. Ben always dreaded Ehis
part. Then the music started with
a bang. A chubby man slid across
the floor to Margaret. He wore
tight cutaway coat over impossible
baggy white trousers, and a high
hat thai. was much too small
1 know you, he cried, Come and
dance.
Time to Unmask
Oh, no, you don't she said as

time. 1t was most satisfactory.
RAfreShment Are Served

Then came refreshments,-box
lunches prepared by each woman.
Checks were issued to the men who
claimed their boxes and then found
the owner. More merriment was
aroused with this part of the affair
Margaret's escort declared every
thing in their box delightful and saw
that she had hot coffee. Ben, she
saw, was equally well cared for.
Then alas, came Good nights and
Merry Christmas to all. Margaret
almOss hated to leave.
Ben drew her arm in his in the
back seat of the car, into which they
had been invited
Have a good time, dear?
Yes,-she sighed and snuggled
cA0ser. She would dream of this
party for months to come-and how
fine Ben looked-why she wouldn't
have believed he could be so-well
really doshing! And she herself
had never had so much attention,
it was quite thrilling and every one
was so funny! For weeks after,
she and Ben went over little anus
ing incidents, and smiled again and
again.
