COMPETITION FOR HANDSOME
PRIZES SPIRITED; EXCELL
ENT MUSIC
Obeying the summons to set aside
the actual workaday world, don fes
tive raiment and sally forth to do
homage at the cradle of the New
| Year, Seward responded to a man
New Year’s eve, and 'packed the Sew
ard Athletic club hall from floor to
balcony, there to participate in the
annual mask ball given by the Sew
ard Volunteer Fire Department.
Out of the distant path flitted hap
py spirits to romp beneath the mul
ti-colored lights in happy abandon.
Sir Launcelot and Sir Galahad,
stode forth out of history to claim; the
cov glances of a dainty wood nymth,
who had crept from beneath the blos
soms to timidly steal a draught from
the fountain of make-believe. From
Dixie came Uncle Tom and Aunt
Dinah, bespeaking cottom blossoms,
and corn pone. Bold Sheik from the
Sahara, beturbaned and sparkling
with jewels,slipped from their tents,
followed by favorites.veiled and fur
tive, slyly glancing at the booted and
sinister replica of Captain Kidd, fresh
from ravaging the Spanish main.
Groups of Pierriots and Pierres,
throngs of grotesque characters who
might have stepped from a picture
book of spooks and hobgobblins,
scampered up and down the floor, on
ly to make way a moment later for a
fairy fresh from the heart of a rose.
Eskimos and Indians stolidly stood
among bevies of beauties fresh from
the Zeigfield Follies, unmoved by
charms of lithe limbs and twinkling
toes beating a stacatto on the polish
ed floor.
Iredescent gypsy queens, from Ro
mania, shared the moment with the
proud beauty from old Castile, bring
ing forth memories of Spanish castles
dougs from the “frozen trail,” made
and guitar thrumming lovers. Sour
way for gorgeous ostrich-a wonder
fully original costume- only to run
smack into Simon Dagree as they
dodged the lupercals of Erin’s Isle.
Dainty maids—some, the men, not
so dainty—who “rolled their own,”
sent many a romantic youth scur
rying. The ballet girl from gay “Par
ee,” skipped from the embraces of
bold knights. In fact, characters, rep
resentative from almost every walk
of life, were there.
When it came to awarding prizes
the three judges had their work cut
out for them as there were so many
deserving of consideration, yet there
was a limit to the trophies.

The decorations were (beautiful and
were very fitting for the varied cos
tumes. The fruit punch was of the
best and there was plenty of it to
quench the thirat.
One of the largest of crowds to
have been attracted to a public af
fair, was present. And they had a
wonderful time.
The musicians came in for many
thanks not only for the splendid ren
dering but to their willingness In

playing until almost 4:30 a. m. Sunday
morning.

McCord, and Gene Miller, movie pic
ture man.
