Every day there were several delight ful informal parties, honoring1 visitors or brides-elect, and on Thursday night there was the merriest of all the gay affairs, the Bal Masque of IV Alliance I'rancaise. The committee that planned the ball deserved the praise It received. The function was a brilliant success. Never In the history of Portland has there been a more colorful, a happier assem blage of dancers than assembled In Cotillion Hall to pay tribute to the soldiers of France and to the spirit pf good fellowship that Inspired, the party. Fully 400 guests were present, and of these a large percentage came rnasked and In costume. Kaleidoscopic In effect, they passed and mingled. Clowns, pirates, peasants, court beau ties, cooks, grandees, Turkish beauties, plain suffragettes, characters from the history of long ago and modern types, protesque and rich In color, they made Hp a throng never to be forgotten. The spirit of the festival was domi nant. It was like a New Orleans or a Han Francisco Mardl Gras with all the vim and Jollity of both. The Latin ln I0uen:e dominated. Streamers of varl-colored paper floated through the air from the balconies Where sat Che audience. Overhead the flag of the United States was In evi dence near the decorations of red car nations and greenery, and from each light there waved the tricolor of France. The orchestra played the ""Marseillaise" and the dancers sang the ong enthusiastically. "When the time came for the vaude irllle stunts the dancers sat right down on the floor of the ballroom In a semi circle and improvised a stage for the performers, lira. Hazel Lltt, who ap peared first on the programme with Jack Adams, was the most beautiful Kate Grcenaway girl imaginable. The couple did a gavotte, and as an encore gave a fox trot.

Maurice Crumpacker and Allen Green were song and dance artists par ex cellence.- Clementine Lambert and Harriet Cumming as Bohemian artists were not content with the small space allowed the vaudeville players, and they danced merrily right into the audience and Lbacked them right up against the wall. After the special features and sev era! dances supper was served, and then the dance went on, the most not able, most delightful frolic of the year, a typical mi-careme event. Leland Smith, who had been one of the busy members of the committee of arrangements, was everywhere doing the duties of host. He wore a dashing yellow and black roily costume. Mr. and Mrs. J. Andre -Fouilhoux were among those who had planned the decorations that elicited so much -ad miration.
