Nymark "Land 0' My Dreams" OEEP DOWN in every heart lies hidden the spirit of Romance. Beneath the most 'placid exterior is something which we call imagi- nation that but waits for opportunity to make this old world glow with enchantment. Therein lies the charm of the Masquerade. . Add success of the Grand Masquerade Ball held in Dryden last Friday. Out of hte frosty moonlit night, with the snow - covered town hushed and silent in repose, through the entrance to the Pulp Mill Hall, was like a step into fairyland. The senses were overwhelmed with a veritable kaleidoscBpe of color and movement, and one was finstantly caught with the glamour of it all. groups of fairies, Princes, characters of history and allegory .~~ dramatic, humorous, but inv ariably picturesque -- was a delight to behold. But who could evér attempt to describe the scene! The Masquerade was more than a succesful dance; it was a social triumph. The hall was crowded to capacity with citizens and visit- ors from outside points who came to enjoy themselves. And never was a more joyous gathering of people. The novelty of the dresses the air of unreality, gave to the occasion an added zest Up to the witching hour of midnight the time was spent in danc- ing. Just before thehour the maskers were directed through a mus- ical parade by the M. C. Mr W. J. Robinson, to give the judges opportunity to select the winners. The committe appointed, Mrs Norman Beveridge, Mrs Dan Hutchison, Rev, R, Wilson and Mr i. J. Clark had a difficult task indeed, But their choice was accepted iw the best spirit. They gave one prize to the lady in Turkish costume, Miss Consie Kerney. The other was won by Mr Lawrence Carr, in the character of King Charles the First. been presented the revellers were allowed to unmask. It would be impossible to give anything like a list of the charac- ters portrayed; as therewas no list made at the time. But several costumes might be mentioned from memory as fnlicating the wide variety of dresses : Miss Frejd of Oxdrift, appeared as Cleopatra. Don Beveridge attracted much attention in his costume as a Rajah. H. Humph- reys was so attractively got up as a baby doll that all the girls wanted to pet him. Arthur Pitt scoured the flour as Old. Dutch Cleanser Roy Hower as Charlie Chaplin was present Tew, plug hat and all. Herb Wilde as a priest was quite impressive. He looked the part to perfection. The character of Judge was carried with dignity by Mr J. B. Beveridge. MissMyrtle Beddome, Lieutenant; Misses Taylor, Gold Dust Twins; Tom Marsland, Mexican : W. H.
