fitted by nature for an entertainment which took s rise
in the sun kissed regions Of the South of Eurone on
the blooming banks of that tideless sea- the Mediterra
mean Hence every attempt made in ENGLAND n natu
ralise advertisement so enchanting in Ialv has proved
abortive
When the masquerade was first introduced into En-
gland the ashionabes were all on the qu rire give
toa But their efforts failed 1t sickened and died
and now only owns an existence there with the wild
thoughess and reckless of enc sex and the depraved
and abandoned of the other
With the Anglo Saxon blood the masquerade can ne.
yer amagamate We have not the art Of improvisitri
sing. which is the life and soul Of the masoue We
dress the character Speaking nationally it i. all we
can do. We cannot support it. Hence il is tame "aat,
and Improbable" But this is not its greatest evil III
pander, and provocative to intrigue
Under the disguise of the mask unlimited freedom
of speech is allowed and she whose blushing face,
covered with the VEIL suffers her ears to drink
in speeches which outrage her native modesy will soon
listen to them unblushingy, without any veil at all
The tales of blghted hopes Frustrated happiness ru-
in and wretchedness which have owed their rise to
this most dangerous entertainment, now upon record
and authenticated are multiudinous While there is
a thousand of such instances that can
