Subject: Re: "False Faces"



I always called them "masks," as did all my childhood playmates in La

Jolla, CA, in the late 40s and early 50s - except for one who called them

"false faces." Unfortunately, I don't know what part of the country his

parents came from.

I was interested in Luanne's brief mention of "false faces" in Chicago

since I had forgotten that term, even though it was what we always called

Halloween masks when I was little. Do any of the rest of you remember

using that term?
