THE BELATED BUT SUCCESSFUL
HALLOWEEN MASQUE.
Mies Alice Slaughter's and Miss Flor
ence Farwell's Hallow'een party, which
was postponed until last Saturday even
ing, was a great succose. As requested,
the guests came in "any old thing."
Only a few couples failed to mask. Joe
Mason, Ernest Haughton, W. E. Clark
and L. W. Marshall, gowned as ladies,
were completely disguised. The Dutch
band created a sensation by its make-up
and music. The costumes of the Mu
rilla family were startling in color and
style, and caused unlimited amusement.
Menu cards printed on the back of red
wall paper, and tied into a roll with red
ribbon, were given each guest. Like
the invitations, ther were
worded in Bowery venacular.
cleverly
A deli-
cioua Dutch lunch followed.
The band composed of "fat boys" was
decidedly the hit of the evening. Tho
make-up of their faces was lx?yond de
scription. Mr. Morrison's Dutch face
smacked of tho bog, with its frame of
red hair and whiskers. Tho uni
forms were red jackets with gold braid,
black trousers and tiny silk hats on one
side of their heads. R. B. Howell, as
drum major, wore a white fur hat and
carried a baton. R. M. Joyce was the
accomplished cornetist.
W. B. Morrison played the trombone
with skill; John Farwell was an artist on
the snare drum; Mr. Valentine grace
fully played the bass drum with a spoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Murilla were Mr. and
Mrs. F. W. Smith. Mr. Murilla had a
good make-up as a typical banana
vender. Mrs. Smith wore a Dolly VarJ
den dress. Her head was tied up in a
green and red scarf; a battered white
straw hat, a pair of white woollen stock
ings and a pair of Mr. Murilla's shoes
completed her toilette. She was a sight.
C. Y. Smith claimed to be the wife of
Louis XIV. He wore a peacock blue satin
gown, en traine, which had seen better
days. Long grey tresses fell from be
neath his grandmother's hat.
L. W.Marshall was disguised as a
lady in his mother-in-law's bath robe.

for a game of hearts were chosen by
candies, and the scores were kept by

were deserving of more praise than we
