MEW YEAR’S EVE
MASQU EBALL IS
HUGE SUCCESS
HUNDREDS OF DANCERS ATTEND
AND MANY BEAUTIFUL
COSTUMES SEEN
DANCE UNTIL THREE O’CLOCK
Decorations Magnificent; two Orches
tras on Hand; Floor in Splendid
Shape for the Affair
A large and enthusiastic audience
of dancers and spectators greeted the
big New Year’s Eve annual masque
ball given by the local fire depart
ment, which members can well be
proud of achievement. Superlatives
that have been used so often in con
nection with other dances given in
Seward can' hardly do justice to the
dance Thursday night.
Within the space of three or four
days the decorating committee head- j
pd by Earl Mount, had completed drap
ing thousands of yards of crop* paper
and trimmings from one end at the
ball to the other, transforming the
hall Into a beautiful faryland. Stream
ers in profusion and a harmonious
color scheme of blue of gold mas
presented. From the ceiling hang *
dark blue sky upon which twinkling
stars gleamed. A large latticed can
opy formed the center ceiling piece
which was intertwined with gorgeous
flowers and hundreds of gaily colored
lights artistically blended.
The music box was a work of ar
tists and the results achieved amply
repaid the time spent on it. The elec
tric lighting scheme and hundreds of
ornamented balloons suspended from
the ceiling, which by the touch of a
button were released, fluttering among
the dancers, added much to assist
making the hall the best decora tod
ever seen in Seward.
What a thrill the dancers get from
a masque ball: what enthusiasm is
put into costume making: what ex
pectations. humor and romantis en
chantment looked forward to with the
beckoning of subdued or blazing
lights: the dreamy melodies; the
