FUN AND FROLIC J
EN MASQUERADE. !
Miss Lula Empie Entertains at
Progressive Euchre Wednes
day Evening.
Fun and frolic held high car
! nival Wednesday evening at the
beautiful home of Miss Lula Em
pie on Laurel street. The guests
had been invited to appear in
: masque and the variety of char
! acters represented gave the j
affair an added spice quite in
harmony with masquerade |
| events. $
A motley crowd, one might |
I have thought. Colonial dames I
| and personages of high repute I
I mingled with gypsies, witches |
; and ghosts. The step had seem- |
| ingly been shortened between S
j the sublime and the ridiculous. 1
; But all this incongruity of ap- 0
| pearances was merely a surface j
| illusion. Byron once said, ‘ a Sj
j lie is but the truth in masque,” 1
and so it was with this mixed |
i gathering of evil spirits and jj
! stately characters; beneath the |
I covering of the hour, were con- |
| genial acquaintances and friends, 1
who found much amusement in
i solving the identity of the many
' mysterious guests.
The tally folders were adorned
with the ever popular Gibson girl
and at the conclusion of the
games, the winner at euchre was |
found to be Mrs. E. B. Wilmans, I
who was presented with a beau- I
tiful hand-painted plate. ^ The 0
lone hand prize, opera glasses, I
fell to the lot of t ■ o sisters, Miss j |
Roberta Morrison and Mrs. ||
James L. Jones, but the former 11
won out in cutting.
