III Masque Ball
The elaborate preparations being
made by the committee in charge of
the New Vear's eve masque ball to be
given by the White Pass Athletic Club
next Monday night, surpasses anything
heretofore attempted in thu city, and
the world of fashion, not alone in Alas
ka. but Eastern States and Kurope is on
the (|ui vn e as to the result.
The almost inexhaustible treasury of
the club has been heavily drawn ou by
the committee in its efforts to give, in
this affair, the most stupendious, magni
ficent and alluring scheme of color
costumes and decorations, ever seen on
the American continent.
The club for weeks has been in
almost hourly communication with the
most celebrated decorators and caterer*
in the Kast and Europe, and the crea
tion of many of the costumts have
caused sleepless nights to such masters _
of shade, texture and the tailor's art as
Worth of faris and Mowl of this city.
Correspondents of most of me lead
ing papers of the capitals .(if .Europe
are being hurried to this scene of
-plendor that will, without doubt,
ec'ipae the noted Brndley-Martin fancy
dress ball.
On Monday from four to niae p. m.,
at which latter hour the grand match
r>egins, special trains will arrive hourly
from New York, Dawson and the Shops.
Guests are ttques'.ed to have their
carriage- called at 2 00 a m.
The extecsive electrical and decora
tive effects to be produced, together wiih
the grotesque, humorous, regal and al
luring costumes worn, will make a scene
that has never been equaled since the
royal pageants of Nero.'s time.
One of the featuies of the evening
will be the music. Artists only will
perform, and no expense has been
spared in securing the services of ths
most renowned musicians ever gotten
together. Despite the many engage
ments of Sousa, the inducements offered
him by the Committee were such that
he abandoned all to take charge of the
orcherstra of fifty (more or less) that
will enthrall the dancers with strains
from Struss, Wolendaupt and Callar
mto.
As this sort of talk costs 20 cents a
line we wi'.l let it go as it looks.
The government has added to the list
of simplified spelling the following
words: ''Ma-kerade, Bill Munda Nile,"
