Masquerade Intelligence at Carlisle House Delights Crowd
Friday evening at Carlisle house featured a masquerade with an eclectic mix of attendees. An American Warrior, a Spanish lady in breaches, a Quaker, a country girl, and many others danced with varied flair while a rude English observer and a watchman added comic disorder. Numerous dominoes and nosegays filled the room as masks, dress, and playful diversions created a lively, if chaotic, social scene.
