William Jurian Kaula diary

19 FEB 1898

There were about two hundred people in costume at the ball.  The studio was well decorated with the usual Japanese lanterns, paper flowers and draperies.  We dressed in Logan's studio and only had to cross the hall to come and go.  Our party was increased in numbers by Leavitt whom we dressed up in a Japanese gown and the huge helmet of the suite of armor.  He resembled a submarine diver more than anything else and his costume must have puzzled a great many.  Allingham was to dress up in Logan's dress suit and we only gave him a part of it, the upper half which consisted of the shirt and coat.  We added a skirt and the tights of a ballet dancer for the rest.  The combination was absurd and novel and he made quite a hit.  The students that make up the school are mostly Americans, some French, some Russians, and a few other nationalities.  As the schools in Paris are so arranged as to keep the classes of women and men separate we men have not had any opportunity to know any of the women except through previous acquaintance.  When I went in I did not expect to see anyone that I knew outside of the boys but afterward found enough friends to make it less tiresome for me as I am only a "wall-flower" and do not dance.  Glover was about the only one besides Kronberg that enjoyed dancing.  The rest of us retired to our den for a glass of punch and a smoke whenever we were bored.  Many people came with masks.  There was one burly policeman who ordered everyone around and joked with every newcomer.  It turned out to be professor M. Merson.  He was enjoying it hugely.  M. Collin failed to put in an appearance.
