But who could keep a boy or girl oft the streets when there might be a ghost to be seen lurking behind a tree or in a dark corner? Market street, in former years fill ed with thousands of gay masque raders, had scarcely a "small town" crowd out last night. There were a few hundred who paraded back and forth, some costumed and masked, but the Airongs of former years were missing and long before midnight most of the crowds had disappeared. Busy in l|ome District A different story can be told about the Hill and uptown districts. The youngsters knew that no large crowds would be permitted by the police, sp small groups of from five to twenty gathered and enjoyed the usual mischievous pranks. There were all kinds of 'costumes and youngsters of all ages were out. The hundreds of wipdows which have been smeared with soap show that the boys and girls were not missing any opportunities. That the young sters are patriotic was evident as little corn could be found this morn ing. In some places plenty of con fetti was used and the stores did a rush business in small boxes of bright colored face paint. The police, however, had little trouble in keeping order, and no re ports of any serious damage by the boys and girls, have been received. While no mandatory order had been issued against celebrating the holi day the co-operation of everyone was shown and there has been no criticism raised about the small groups of children and their pranks.
