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.
