How could he draw a hand con- 1

J ernizing with a penguin with a
■■ face like a young robin, split from
J ear to ear, on speaking terms with
a bald-headed eagle, wearing a
wig, playing around with a kal
eidoscopic throng enumerating

Relying upon a subconscious in

a gathering as glimpsed at this
Firemen’s mask ball, as one might

the side-shows of a great circus,
including animals which properly
belonged and others possibly on
ly under the influence of three
fingers of Fairbanks TNT.
From the Rio Grande came

Fresh from the cottonfields of j

Like a shower of rose pedals r
floating from the trellis of an an- I
cient chateau in Spain, sweet t
maidens, attired in the latest con- t
ceits of the modiste’s art, swung
away in rythmic tread with gal- e
lant young blades who might have g
stepped from an old engraving of 1
a colonial cottillion, Chesterfield
ian in suave gallantry as they t
guided their seductive enchantres
ses thru the large crowd to the \
strains of a spirited fox-trot or i
a romantic waltz. i
Over there strolled the Talmage
sisters, stalked by Dan Magrew j
ready to tommy-gun the Man j
from the Creeks into Sam McGee’s \
crematory on the “marge of Lake
Labarge,“ deterred in his dirty j
work by a pint-sized Daniel Boon ]
armed with a broomhandle gun
whose range was equal to the j
wave-length of his “Wham! Bang!” ■
Collectively, the assemblage in j
point of variety, grotesqueness, j j
happy coloring and originality
would have met the most exacting
dimensions of a hop-head’s dream
or filled the cup of bliss to over
flowing for a 20- drink veteran (
fresh from counting a menagerie
on Seattle’s skid-way. ,
But, like a breath of summer, in
its exhiliarating warmth and in
spiration, was the general good
cheer and casting aside of the
cares of a workaday world to re
vel in happy irresponsibility while
the clock slowly ticked off the
zero hour when 1933 joined the
yesterday of lifes seven thousand
years.
The decorative committee outdid
themselves in embellishing the
large hill into an appropriate set

mirth and frollic
With ribbons of multicolored
paper a basket-weave spread like
a canopy over the dance floor, the
brilliant hues, contrasting artisti
cally with the deep evergreen of
the walls, created by the use of
j natural boughs, blending harmo
i niously with the masquerade cos
tumes and the many pretty gowns
j in evidence.
Mounted upon an enclosed plat
form in the center of the dance
! floor, the orchestra was liberal
i with dance numbers, responding
I to many encores and playing with
I the spirit of the hour.
Seward was fortunate in having
| present Interior residents, many of
j whom joined the merry throng
| in helping the firemen pronounce
■ the obsequies over the old year
I and usher in the new.
Excellent assortment of fresh
candies at Sylvia’s.
Among the throng also were
many officers from the SS Admiral
Evans who responded to an invi
tation to assist in ushering in i
the New Year.
Dancing began at 9 o’clock and €
ended at 3:45 a. m. Sunday. The j

Russian cannon in Nile Park, the
gun which subdued the Sewardites
tribes a score of decades ago.
