The Kodiak Mardi Gras is now
enrobed in the happy memories
of the past. The spirit of the
I Masquerade is now but a fleet
ing shadow of a pleasing remem
brance. The five evenings given
over to dancing, feasting and
masquerading by the population
generally of the Village of Kodiak,
handsomely increased by the
many visitors from the nearby |
villages, to mark the coming of
the Russian New Year, which is
14 days later than the New Year
of the Gregorian calendar, were!
this year graced by the presence j
of many strangers from all parts;
of the Island. The festivities com
menced on the evening of Jan

uary 10th and continued with the
interruption one evening, until
January 15. On the evening of
January 14 the persons in charge
of the Grand Ball, which was giv- '
i en in Blinn’s Dance Hall, gayly
j decorated for the occasion, award- I
ed prizes earned by the partici- j
| pants during the course of the I
{evening. Miss Polinski, the charm
j ing teacher in the local school j
i was awarded first for the best j
| dressed woman. Her costume con- i
! sisted of a replica of the Grand I,
1 Spanish Dame of the colonial! I
days, and in her brilliant port-1!
irayal of the assumed character j
she caused more than a flutter j J
I in the heart of many of the ;
male swains who were in con-: |
j slant attendance with lier every'1
! action. Robert Me hie, a local !
'bachelor won second prize for be- :
ilng the best sustained character | !
, and the prize for the most com- j!
| ical character was awarded to |!
I another local villager, George Fo
jmine. The judges of prizes were
jMr. Chas. Madsen, Mrs. W. T. <
i White and Mr. Joe Heitmann.
j In reviewing festivities of one !
‘evening of the Mardi Gras sev- ;
| eral graceful comments were1
j heard in and about local gather- j
ing places of the Village, con- i
; cerning who were most active in!
absorbing the holiday spirit of |
the occasion. This “spirit” while:
purely solid in form yet contain- I
ed sufficient of the Baccanalianj
influence to cause the jiartici- j
pants of the dances to feel that j
their persons were amiably en- j
veloped in an atmosphere of ca
vorting joy and happiness. Cap-1
tain H. W. Vance, that venerable
character from out of the Pioneer 1
Days of the Glorious West, never
missed a single dance during the '
entire five days of the annual |
celebration, and there are no!
children of the Spruce realms who
fail to recall his encircling arms
with but keen and refreshing de
, light. Mr. Charles Simmons, the
| jolly brother-in-law of Mr. E. W. j
; Griffin, the Vice President and
| General Manager of the W. J. Er
!skine Company, was the happy
: cause of most attention by rea
jSon of his introduction of many
'unusual dances which he claimed
|v;erp in vogue in the wilds of
; Oklahoma. The local teachers in
\ the Pub.ir School were purlieu
j iarly attentive to these new
j dances and proved apt .scholars, i
j Mr. Tony Kvas. the p: anae,or1
| Oi the Flanio Cale < poeured in
j -Sever ai of the dances and, en-j
| a bled local celebrities to catch a
|glimpse of just how the Blue Dan
: ube should be danced, if is corpu
i lence was happily lost sight of
'when the ryfchm of his musical I
motions were the object of the,
spectators’ attention. Mr. and
Mrs. Harry White, the husband
being the local King of the Turn
ing Lathe and the charming bet
ter half occupying the position of
| local P^st M rtessirews.e
| local Post Mistress, were in fre
: quent attendance and proved to
! local admirers how the gay fan
; tastic was arranged in the Great
Open Spaces of Texas and Kan
sas. The Mahle twins, on both
of whom the Fates have lavish
ed all within their power to ren
der charming and graceful, man
aged to attend every dance and ■
with their usual delightful man- :
nerisms, nev^r so charming as at
a dance, they caused the male i
element of local society to breathe
many a sigh and express many
thanks for their presence.
In fact everyone in the Village
who couid attend the various
evening entertainments did so and
to make mention of the many
elicited attention would be to
give a roster of the town.

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
