"Girls can't have any fun without the boys chipping In and spoiling It all , " was the lament of nn Omnln cltl the other day "When the joung men get up a 'stag' party wo don't Interfere nnd break it up " But why these tears ? They are nil on account of a llltlo private masquerade some of the joting women had planned to have a little fun on their mvn account. H was Intended to bo strictly "for ladles only" nnd those who had been Invited were cau tioned to keen the nffalr from the knowl edge of the horrid men There were nil sorts of costumes represented , artistic , novel , elaborate nnd otherwise. TJicro was Pocahontas - hontas , the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe , George Washington nud others fnmcd in history. There were coachmen , Jockeys , Romeos , sailors from Dowey's squadron , fairies , flower girls nnd the nnughty gill from the French ball , but the prize costume was a colored mammy who looked as though she had Just been transplanted from "Olo VIrglnny. " H was in the grand cake walk which cnmo well down on the program In which mammy was destined to shine for n little while at least. When the music of the "Georgia Camp Meeting" arose with Its voluptuous swell It did not require long to settle the fact that In the cake walk Gcorgo Washington , Romeo , the gallant sailor. Jockejs , fairies or oven the gay French girl were not hi it. There were uirns on the corners , swings and graces in the straight away that would make a vaudeville star turn green with envy as the old colored mammy warmed up to the occasion nnd started out to show thu other girls Just what a warm cake walk was like. If the ghost of the original cake walklst befo' do vva' had looked down on the scene ho would have been compelled to admit It was the "sho' enough thing" "Hi , jab , MiBt , Sally , hoe huh down , swing on do cowncr en turn eroun' . Thro' youso'f a-comln' nn' shassav back , eu den to de front agin walklii' a crack. " The entire company looked on In wonder. George Washington thought ho was back on the old plantation. The flower girls were too modest to even express amazement. The gill with the elaborate costume vowed she would give it nil to ncqulre a walk HKo that The girl with the otherwise costume opined she would like to possess the walk , but that the foot of the walker were too large. The grand cake walk exhibition continued with figures now and startling. Just ns the crowning glory of nil the prbo steps was Hearing n climax old mammy's feet became tangled in her skirts and down came cake walker with a thud which brought a jardiniere from its perch to the floor. "Chewing gum and hair pins , It's a man , " shrieked the fairy. There was a gathering of skirts by those who had them , while the Jockey , the sailor and those with otherwise costumes fled to the adjoining rooms. Old "mammy" made a desperate effort to escape , but dt wouldn't work. He was chased Into a coiner b > a well executed flank movement and given the Impression by his captors that his tlmo had come. After fourteen different lectures had been read to him and ho had promised never , never , to give It away he was allowed to depart , and as he wended his way up the alleys to his home he vowed that the next tlmo ho tried to play woman ho would leave those big feet nt home. A.OTIinH. bOOIHTY CAICmVAMC. Thin , Too , \\'nn for Liullos Onlj , mill H AViiH u fin-lit Cake walks nre not nlways confined to the stage or to public entertainments , where they may furnish amusement for the rich and poor alike , as was proven by a unique feature of the Ladles' Aid society of the Plymouth Congregational church when it met at the home of Mrs. Charles E. Stokes recently. The meeting was attended by perhaps fifty women , all the mcmbcis turnIng - Ing out on promise of a pleasant afternoon Mrs. Stokes , alwajB thoughtful of her guests , prepared an cnjojablo program for the occasion , and from the complimentary references made afterward by the guests , she had no reason to doubt that she had been successful. Preparatory to Introducing the featuie of a cake walk In the meeting of the Ladles' Aid society , Mrs. Stokes visited some of the most orthodox members and asked whether or not they thought It would be right to depart from the customary methods of en tertaining. She wns nssured by them in the most unqualified manner thnt they con sidered her Idea perfectly propel and they did not believe any one could find fault with It , Inasmuch as it was to be given In her own homo nnd none of the male tiibo was to be present. Believing that she had taken every precaution against offend ing nny ot the members of the society preparations were made for the featuie. Mrs. Sheldon , chairman of the society , Mrs. Cot- trcll , Mrs , Walworth and another woman agreed to domonstrnto their know ledge of fancy movements. At the last moment the fourth member ot the quartet disappointed them and Mrs. Stokes was compelled to take her place , The afternoon moved nlong smoothly , the guests diverted by some excellent music , but nlways expectant and eager for the np- peaianco of tbo cake walkers , All hail heaid of cake wnlks , but It la slid thai even some of the oldest members had novei watched the curtsejliiK and the giaco- ful stepping usually accompanjlng this relic of early southern davs. When the music , n necessary accompaniment of the cake walk , started up and the participants appeared , the guests were pleased with their agile move ments. Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs Cottrol ! had donned suits of their husbands' clothing while Mrs Walworth and Mrs Stokes woie nnat costumes appropriate to the occasion All had blackened their faces and as the guests watched their easy , graceful steps In the attractive movements of the walk , keepIng - Ing perfect tlmo to the Inspiring music , they broke forth into spontaneous npplausn. Each walked as If she were tieadlng on nlr and when the last turn had been made they were most heartily congratulated b > the guests , who appeared greatly pleased by the Innovation.
