POPULARITY OF FANCY BALLS.
A GLASS of Entertainments which 1s
Gaining Ground in England.
Court Circular.l

Gaining Ground in England.
Court Circular.l
During the last few years the
class of entertainments known as
fancy balls have gained much popu-
larity in general society. At one
time they were confined to the very
rich or the very artistic circles, but
now there is hardly a country town
that does not boast of its calico
ball, and some Of those lures to
the uhwary known as fancy fairs
have become opportunities for gro
tesque costume and the impersona-
ton of fanciful characters. The
fashion of fancy costume has be-
come so common that the more
select members of society find some
difficulty in masquerading in any
way unlike the herd; every ball
boasts of a dozen Marquises, Marie
Stuarts, Dolly Vardens, ETC., so the
fancy of the artist or poet is put
into requisition to originate some
thing for "My Lady" which shall
be a mystery and a marvel to
Madame la Bourgeoise.
OF course, too, the small people
must follow the fashion, and now
no child hostess feels that her party
is CONNIE il faut if her guests arc
to be clad in nineteenth century at
tire; they must come as Bo-Peeps,
as Red Riding Hood, as Little Boys
Blue, as tin soldiers, or fairies, or,

pear, in the guise of a flower, the
face and upper part of the draperies
representing the blossom, the skirts
foliage. The attire of a child in
fancy dress gives great pleasure to
its owners; but it is one Of the
many vanities Of the day that are
so injurious TO the moral tone OF
childhood, one OF the many inno-
cent follies that seem to be created
only to foster youthful conceit.
The greatest merit Of this rage
! for fancy dress is this, that the skill

An extraordinary decision is ar
rived at by the civil tribunal in
Paris. Seven years ago a lady pur-
chased two hundred pounds worth
of iewelry from a firm in the Palais
Royal, the agreement made in
writing at the time of payment)
being that if the articles were not
approved of they might be ex-
changed. The purchaser kept and
used the jewelry for more than six
years, at the expiration of which
time she intimated to the jeweler
her desire to exchange it for other
articles. Upon his very naturally
declining to entertain such a pro-
posal she commenced an action for
the purpose of compelling him to
do so; and though his advocate
urged that he could not be called
upon to accept, at the full price
originally given for them, articles
which had been in constant wear
for several years, the Judgment Of
the court was against him, upon
the ground that in the agreement
she had failed to define the period
during which the exchange might
be made"
