Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masquerade and Carnival: Their Customs and Costumes On the occasion of a private ball in a. Public ballroom, the latter may be decorated as far as pos sible to appear like the parlors Of a private house; and as refreshments are served in rooms reserved for the purpose, the affair is as exclusive as if given under one's own roof. In decorating for a fancy ball, the ballroom is usually festooned with draperies of the national or other colors fastened up under comic masks, or shields upon which are grotesque faces and figures, armorial emblems and mimic instruments Of music. Flowers and foliage are banked and grouped in different parts of the room, but foliage Should pre dominate, as its, rich green forms a charming back ground for the brilliant costumes of the maskers.
