Life looked hopeless. Now 1t looks

ARTS CLUB NOT TO HALT

Examination at Door During Bal
Boheme to Be Only for
Judging Dress.

Announcement that the entrance

lard Hotel next Monday night on the
occasion of the Arts Club Bal Boheme
will be the scene of a process of eX-
animation to determine whether those
presenting themselves are sufficiently
in fancy dress to meet the require
mentS of the carnival event has
caused some apprehension on the part
of those who do not contemplate don
ming character costumes for the ball
On this point the following statement
by G. A. Lyon, chairman of the Bal
Boheme committee, serves to effect a
clearer understanding of the situa.
ton:
THE Arts Club" says Mr.. Lyon, lis
endeavoring to paint a beautiful pic
ture in the Willard Hotel ballroom
next Monday night. That picture will
consist of a composition of decora-
lions and costumes. The decorations.
it is assured, will be of a character
never before seen in Washington, and
will effect scene of an unique exotic
garden. The costumes, which 1t is
hoped most if not all who attend the
ball will wear. will complete the mise
en- scene, as the French say.
The entrance examination is not
intended to cause the exclusion of any
body. 1t Is to afford a convenient
method of scrutiny of the costumes
for the purpose of awarding the prizes
that will be bestowed for the most
beautiful, the most original and the
most amusing. Those who come with
out costumes in fancy dress will be
afforded an opportunity at a booth,
well stocked with trifiing oddments, to
get into the picture in some degree,
at a very slight expense, a few nIckels
or dimes. Ii any prefer to enter with
out any form or degree of fancy dress
l.they will be welcome and gladly adj
mitted-provided, OF course, they have
first passed the ticket takers.
Heretofore. very large majority
of those attending the Bal Boheme of
the Arts Club have worn fancy dress.
1t is the hope of the committee and
the members of the club that their
friends will this year strike an even
higher average OF response to the in
vitation to ne.p paint this brilliant and
ENJOYABLE picture"

Accepted as Mason
At Age of SO Years

To be initiated into a fraternal
organization at the age of eighty
three would seem to the average
mind to be an incident peculiarly
worthy Of mention. The fact as
above stated applies particularly to
one of Waterville's Oldest citizens,
Austin Bragg of Main street. Mr.
Bragg. Monday evening was made
member of Waterville Lodge No. 80
F. and A. NJ.
Harry Grindall of Winslow. per-
formed the ceremony that made Mr..
Bragg a Mason. after which the
former presented the new member
with two of the orders emblems. one.
for week days and one for Sunday
wear. In presenting these emblems
of the lodge which were given by
mn from the H. and W. mill where
Mr. Bragg is employed as Master
Mechanic. Mr.. Grindall said it was
easy and natural to call the new
brother because he. had always lived
and practised Free Masonry without
having actually been connected with
the organization.
So it may now be said that one
of the youngest members of Water
Vile Lodge, No. 3S is a man of four
score and three.

not act that way"
Governor Smith told a gathering
at Staten Island he did not believe it
necessary to contradict the wild, ir-

opponent in the last two weeks. The
governor again expressed his belief
in state ownership and development
and control of it's water power, rath-

he had refused to assist Socialists

their seats by the assembly, he had
called special elections to fill their
vacancies. The Socialists were re-
elected, he said, "only to be removed
again by the reactionary Republican
assembly,"
