SWELL COSTUMES
AT EAGLE DANCE
Mrs. Adams Wins First Prize As the
i Best Dressed Lady—Lady Wins
Gentleman’s Prize.
The finest costumes ever worn at
a Valdez masquerade were display
ed Saturday night at the Eagle hall
when the local lodge of Eagles gave
their annual masquerade dance. The
judges had considerable trouble pick
ing the winners of the different prizes
as all of them were good and many
showed considerable originality.
Mrs. M. O. Adams won the prize
as the best dressed lady. She repre
sented a Turkish woman. Charles
Miller as a Spanish cavalier won the
gent’s prize. Miss Falk received the
prize for the best sustained charac
ter as “Mag the Rag.” Miss Lamp
ing won the gent’s prize for the best
sustained character. She represented
a “he Dutchman” with considerable
success. Harry Obert won the prize
for the most comical character, so
the judge thought, and he pulled down
some easy money.
JVlrs. Patton wore a beautiful cos
tume representing the Valdez Daily
Prospector. The dress was made of
newspapers and created considerable
attention.
As a financial affair the dance was
strictly a success and the committee
in charge will turn in considerable
money to the treasury of the lodge.
Messrs. Graham, Doggett, Boyle, How
ard and Kacerosky were the commit
tee in charge of the affair.
ANOTHER DANCE
AT FORT LISCUM
The Fort Liscum Social Club will
give another dance at the Post on
Wednesday, Dec. 6. The last jlance
given by the club was a decided suc
cess and many people from Valdez
attended and enjoyed themselves im
mensely. The club intends to make
the next dance a greater success than
the former one.
