LOLA MONTES ON THE STAGE.

What has become of Lola Mentes? is a question, I
suppose, frequently asked in London by many of the
myriads who have seen or heard of the char ces and fas-
cinations—the wild exploits and adventures—of this ad-
mired and mysterious lady. The question is not diffi-
cult to answer to one moving in a certain " set" in a
certain quarter of Paris not a hundred miles from the
Place Vendome—or to anybody else indeed who hap-
pens to " know all about it." Lola is neither conquer-
ing another king, nor marrying another husband, though
she could doubtless do both it she chose. The fact is,
kings have become so unimportant all over the continent,
and husbands so ridiculous all over the world, that per-
sons of the highest taste find neither worthy of their
notice. Accordingly the Countess Landsfeldt—the title
that Lola Mentes resumed since her residence in Paris

—has taken a loftier flight, and has returned with more
than her old enthusiasm, and a promise of more than her
old success, to that career in which she was once so
briefly conspicuous. The fact is certain, that Lola is to
re-sppear on the stage; and the fact is disappointing
that Lola will not appear in England, nor in France,
nor indeed in Europe. America, which is just experi-
encing its " next morning" after its recent musical
intoxication, is destined to be visited by a relapse, and
to be again astonished out of its dollars and property,
that is to say, supposing the Americans to have the good
taste to behave with en appropriate degree of absurdity.
Meantime—pending the period of her departure, which
is fixed for October next—the COuntess is " taking steps"
to regain that mastery over. her art which her long rest
must have necessarily deprived her of. The Jardin
M.abite is the scene of her daily practice, and Mabil,e
himself is its direc•or. The new dances of Lola Monte,
(*latch are shortly to be publish' d) are six in numbs r.
fheir arrangement, their mechanism au Mabil'6; their
grace, their character and nationality are her own. For
the rest it may be as well to mention that during her
absence from the stage Lola has not lost any of those
personal charms which can add eclat to her return. Her
e)ei has lost nothing of its strange and startling brilli-
ancy, her form of its harmony and proportion, ber
motions of their grace. Above all, she is still young,
and still enthusiastic. For the benefit of those among
your readers who are interested in business-like parti-
culars, I may add that New York is to be the scene of
her first appearance; that a report of her previous en-
gagement at the Montansier, has no foundation what-
ever; and that she will reign n the new world as her
own mistress unfettered by Barnum or any other person.

purpose of taking steps for completing the requisition to Mr.
Stone, of Streatley 11 use, to come forward as a candidate at
