Annual IBall Will Hang- long- In

OCTAL Pinehurst once
more bows low to the
Tin Whistles, Monday
evening's masquerade
ball easily being the
most elaborate affair of
its character in the history of the Vil
lage. Complete in every particular, a
brilliant social event, an evening of rare
enjoyment and scene of wondrous
beauty, it will long hang " on the line " in
memory's picture gallery; a recollection
masterpiece!
Never have participants entered more
heartily into the masquerade spirit, never
have onlookers been more enthusiastic ;
The Carolina Music hall being crowded
to its extreme capacity while several
hundred stood on the surrounding veran
das during the entire evening, enjoying
the scene through the windows. Varied
costumes from many climes worn by the
cosmopolitan throng, made the floor a
kaleidoscope of dazzling color, life and
gaiety ; stunning decorations transform
ing the hall into a bower as colorfull as
a dreamland Paradise.
Hanging from each of the chandeliers,
above the lloor, were wicker baskets of
monster poinsettia flowers, the rich scar
let in perfect complement to dark green
sprays of English ivy; the windows and
doors being arched with graceful stream
ers of ivy, tied with crimson ribbon; the
stage screened with poinsettia flowers and
palms, and the same blooms banked
against deep green in the alcove ; crim
son incandescent lamps softening the
whole into a perfect color symphony.
Long before the hour set for the open
ing march, at nine-thirty, until dancing
ceased at midnight, the hall was
crowded; the strains of " Home, Sweet
Home " coming with just a tinge of sad
ness to the merrymakers, who, for the
time being, had been where "all the
world's a stage and each one plays a
part.''
Punch was served during the evening,
rest enjoyed at intermission and supper
in the dining room enjoyed following
dancing ; good night being said in the
wee hours with lingering reluctance.
