MANY UNIQUE COSTUMES AT
EAGLE MASK It ALL
The Eagle Mask Ball, which took |
place last Saturday evening, was a ■
decided success. A large crowd
packed the balcony eager to view
Nome’s 1923 crowd of maskers, and
also to name the different maskers
before the time for unmasking ar
rived. At the latter attempt, there
were many who were disguised in
such a manner that not one knew
who was behind several of the
masks until the faces of th-1 wea. -rs
were disclosed by unmasking ai
midnight.
The colored race was well repre
sented in many different way-.
There was the high-class brown
skin negro and his lady friend, and
the dice-shooting brown brother
i from Alabam’. and the dude black
face who is generally found in Soj
Ihern Texa-s.
China was rot forgotten, the Chin
ese race being represented by two
of as graceful dancers as ever glid
ed over a dance floor. The Italian
fruit vender was represented in var
ious stages and was conspicuous at
all times by the absence of fhe fruit
merchant's standby, bananas, the
motto of the fruit venders of the
evening being, “Yes, we have no
Bananas today.”
Among others that were w.oll rep
resented were: the Bride, the Ds’sv

Peddlers. Santa Claus, the Butterfly
