MYRTLE POINT'S MASKED CALL Society Event Was a Real So cial Success List of Prize Winners. (Special to Times.) MYRTLE POINT, Feb. 24 There Is no doubt tho Myrtlo Point fire de partment knows how to give parties and balls In a manner to bo free of all criticism, joy and mirth prevail ing whenever tho boys aro the leaders of such entertainments. And this is not all of It. Tho citizens of the town aid in a way that it can not fail to havo the location pretty well filled. Saturday, February 22, the fire de partment held a masked ball, and if you ever saw peoplo enjoying a danco more than this, then It must have been something extraordinarily good. No hitch, no cause for complaint, no whiskey about, but fun more than expected. Among tho maskers some slight mistakes wero made, young married men thinking to know their wives, 3ported another man's darling, and vice versa young women found ap parently their husbands in disguise flirted with other men, after finding their mistakes made jollification reign supreme. The committee were Mr. Pierce, tho harness man, E. C. Roberts and J. R. Benson. The floor manager was Ralph Tom with two assistants. Tho music was furnished by the Myrtlo Point orchestra. Tho first prize for ladies was given to Mrs. L. T. Barklow, representing a mossback; prize, a dinner set of 42 pieces. Tho first gent's prize went to W. Barklow, mossback, a hat and razor. This should convince anyone that mossbacks should not bo underval ued, as is generally tho case. The best lady's character fell to Miss M. Clinton as a Red Cross nurse with two patients; prize, a silk um brella. The best gent's character was John Carl as blacksmith. Ho received a very neat pocket knifo and a sweater. Tho most comical lady's character was represented by Miss Talbot as a squaw. She received a cake plate and other articles. Next camo Bird McCrosky as a Teddy bear; result one box cigars and (?) 1 can of lard to grease his sorely used limbs. Tho best lady waltzer was Miss Mabel Green, and she was remem bered with a set of silver spoons 'and a handback. Ralph Tom was considered the best gent waltzer. His share was a Wa terman fountain pen and a very large box of stationery. Tho prettiest girl of all? Can you guess it? No? Then I will toll you. It was Miss Stella Weekly. Fifty calling cards wero her reward. And now comes tho homeliest man. Anyone can guess this. It is said to bo Jack Rabbit. I don't know what a Rabbltt will do with a year's subscription to tho Myrtlo Point En terprise. To give them full credit I must add that E. C. Roberts and C. E. Hullng tried to havo their mugs placed in this list, but wero rejected by tho committee as not only homely but actually ugly. All enjoyed themselves, and havo no heartaches this morning.
