Lola Monfcz has gone from Paris. A
few days before her departure size gave a
supper to few intimate friends. as fare
well shake hands. was not present. but
| have heard it described. and il must have
been not the least singular scene even in
her varied life. She received from them
compliments upon her display at MaLillc.
Gra,ified at the delicate compliments they
made, and cla,ed by the good cheer which
les TrGs Freis had furnished-"Ah" she
said, "if you have never seen me eli Arago
naisc. you do not know the extent Of my
powers, nor how easily can break hearts
and craze heads
All the guests begged earnestly for the
qualification the danscuse could easily bes-
tow. and as the parting is always the pill
ant hour, Lola consented. She sent for
the dresses: when they came retired into
dressing room. and shortly rc-appeared,
her head cnveloped in madras, and hol-
ding in one hand half cmptied bottle of
Champagne, in tn other madeline with
four strings. She commenced dancing
the Spanish Moorish steps. singing gay
song. aud, between each couplet. finishing
the Champagne. This scene, and the great
Transformation she undergocs from the ex-
ciiiment into which she sthrown. produces
the greatest effect upon the sPcctators.-

Lola Montcz danced tw ice at Boulognc,
and once at Brussels. Her success at both
of these cities was c1uivocal. Mr.. Bar

gagcmcnt with her lasts, for in her short
career since the soiree at Mabillc, she has
shown all the irritabilily of those spoiled
children of iortune-star artists.
She made great failure in Brussels, At
tie Thrcatre du Vaudeville. where she
danced one night. Some kindly disposed
persons, anxious to see Lola retrieve her
losses at the threntre, requested NJ. Armand
the manager of the Hppodrome. 70 en-
gage her TO ride for him. NJ Arnand, a.

tlemen undertook TO convey NJ. Arnaud's
terms to her. He offered 5000 francs for
SIX representations.
This polite gentleman called on the
danseuse at the Hotel de Suede. where
she was staying, and communicated to her
the object of his visit. His last word was
scarcely out of his mouth, than she jump

der of Maria Theresa, chevalierc de- &C.,

for which l wish both vengeance and sat

"Why, Madame" the visitcr cndeavorcd
to reply; "you danced at the Mabille in Pa
rs, which compromised your grand cor

nothing; she shrugged her shoulders, and
went out. The amazed visitor was about
following her example, when Nj. Mabille
came in. He, observing that the visitor
was a gentleman Of some distinction, made
some observations to Lola; who, more fu-
rious than ever, said to him: "And you too.
sir; get out here! get out! get out!' He
replied, why, Madame, l am in my own
