Purple Week With Vermillion Ef
feds and Dark Brown Taste
Last night according to the official
programme was to have boon tho pur-
ple eM-nt of Carnival week hut In
mixing his colors for tho occasion
IClng Hilarity evidently go.t his wires
crossed and Instead of tho staid and
sober purplo tho circumambient at-
mosphero tok on a hue that was n
bright bright red that was rolected
back from the clouded skies.
It waa Elk night and the way tho
animals cavorted was a sight.
Nightgowns wore tho de rlguer
coBtumo and there were nightgowns
decollete and nightgowns en train;
there were nightgowns plain and there
were nlghtgownn cut on the bias;
nightgowns shirred tucked and trim-
med In passementerie.
Headed by the Mulhall band tho
animals headed by Buck Nlblack and
under the command of Captain Dun-
nlca two-stepped and cako walked
through tho principal streets through
b. mess of mud that would dlscourago
anybody but an Elk. Continuous fir-
ing of Roman candles nnd bursting
rockets furnished Illumination to tho
Joyous spectacle.
And tho Guthrie Carnival for the
year 1001 Is a thing of tho past. The
Ferris wheel no longer revolves tho
"barker" is nursing his strainod
volco for a future attack on tortured
tar j and the maddening "Hagenbaok!
ngonback!" Is a reminiscence. The
Midway that splendid aggregation of
clever artists Is still with us but
With the dawn of morning it too will
have disappeared.
Tho Carnival ball which was hold
at ti e Business college hall last night
was the crowning feature of tho Car-
nival woelt. Several hundred people
were In attendance. The quoen Miss
Bessie Graves and her court wcro seat-
od on n beautiful throne arranged m
Carnival colors and potted plants.
Miss Gravos woro a haudsomo
gown of white taffeta silk trimmed
wltn white cnlffon and violets; the
violet which carried out tho Carnival
colors were used about tho bodice and
festooned about the skirt which waa
made with a court train'. A crown on
tho graceful head completed tho ele-
gant attire of the beautiful Carnival
queen.
The maids MlsseB Myrtle Black
Lillian Doles Lillian Reynolds and
Kntherhio Schnell woro all attired In
beautiful white -gowns with violet
trimmings.

od the music and at 9:30 o'clock the

was puroiy voluntary on Capt. C'hail-
wlck's part and wus not necessary In
recponso to tho Inquiry.
Tha quostlona which ho stated to
tho court woro;
