SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1917
FIVE CENTS
THE MASQUERADE BALL
The Entire Community Entertained by
Procession and Performance
The Employees of the Carolina Hotel
9Iade a .Lively Evening- of
Their Annual Denefit
Uiai
THE ball room of
the Carolina was
lined three deep
with the aristoc
racy of Pinehurst.
The Carolina corri
dors were likewise
lined with beauty and fashion, in
expectant conclave. Down the
wide halls sounded the roll of the
drum, and lo, there comes a mot
ley procession fearfully and won
derfully arrayed. Foremost in
flamingo red ambles a troop of
"cullud" minstrels, -followed hard
upon by Red Cross beauties in
charge of a lacerated victim of
the paint box.
All hail the masquerade ball.
Who wouldn't dress or undress
to suit the freakish fancy of $600.
The patrons of the hotel have
provided this goodly sum to be
scattered this evening of jubilee
in prizes among the talented em
ployees of the great hostelry, and
are on hand-to judge and enjoy
the spectacle. If it be true as
Ben Johnson said that people
revert to their natural sphere
and inclination when incognito,
then is the Carolina inhabited by
many strange ariH some danger
ous characters. The fire depart
ment and the police, in strong
evidence show a mild and demo
cratic tendency. But what shall
we said of the Kaiser himself
adorned with a pound of iron
cross, swaggering among the
gentlefolk? What shall we say
of those twin ambitions emulat
ing to the last stripe the aspect
and manner of Jock Bowker? If
Ben be right there are those in
cur midst who see in the "What
to Do and See Daily," that
mometous 'compendium, nothing
but the Wentworth Hotel and
Mason's Hair Tonic. There are
sordid souls who would fain be
of the Hebrew persuasion and fly
the banner of the dollar bill. At
tention should be given to Louie
the Bandit, and most ungracious
becoming to youth and beauty
here as there. That the sacred
Long Leaf Pine lends itself
readily to the dressmaker's art,
and that a bathing suit has its
uses outside of the surf.
Fascinated by various activi
ties and laudible industries in the
town, many of the company not
only tried to praise, but to be
them. Here came the laundry in

PARKER W. WHITTEMORE
cently broke the golf record of CourseChampion of the Tin Whistles, who re
Three with a 69
suffrasrettes. A job should be
found in the paddock for wait
resses who would be jockeys and
a place on the Council for Na
tional Defense for those emulat
ing Uncle Sam and the Statue of
Liberty.
It was demonstrated to every
one's satisfaction that the style
of dress popular not long since
on the Congo is quite as
its proper person, to the aston
ishment of mankind. Pinehurst
bread walked erect and alone, and
an animated milk bottle of
the Dairy brand advertised for
suckers.
Nor were costumes of real
beauty and ingenuity lacking.
The parcel post was glorified by
a dress most delightfully em-

WHITTEMORE WINS AGAIN
Danfortb Makes Best Net Score. McDonald
Spauldiog, Parson, Hunter Take Prizes
The Annual Tin Whittle Golf
Championship Played Over
All Three Courses
Parker W. Whitte
more is once again
champion . of the
Tin Whistles, with
out discussion. And
the championship
is one of the most
sustained and conclusive matches
played here during the year.
There are 54 holes of medal play
extending over three days, 18 on
each of the major courses. The
old Brookline driver led the
legion home on every course.
Number one he made in 77, Num
ber two in 75 and Number three
in 75, a total of 227 spending
his afternoons meanwhile in
breaking records, and generally
casting dismay into the hearts of
the National gems gathering for
the United.
F. S. Danforth of North Fork
gave battle the first day, and
stood but one stroke behind.
The second day his 81 reduced
his chances by 6 and his 80 on the
third course made second best
gross. The handicap of 8 on each
18 reduced his total to 215, land
ing him safely in a class by him
self and capturing the Johnson
prize for the best net of the tour
nament. Dr. C. F. MacDonald
with a score of 218 made second
place and the Hudson trophy.
Donald Parson of Youngstown
consistently hovering just above
the 80 mark came in for the Marr
prize, offered by the considerate
doctor for the second best gross
score. Danforth, having secured
the Johnson cup, was not eligible
for another award.
