Sara Bern h ardt's Ball.


lIuis DlSputCht
A ball was given Thursday night, the
like of which could certainly not be
found in any other capital in the world
except Paris. The entertainment was
given in celebration of the young host
having completed the fifteenth year of
his age. Fancy dress was supposed to be
ode rigueur," and there was, indeed, 50
few black coats that they in no way i'm
paired the bright and picturesque aspect
of the famous "atelier" which has been
so ofted described. A model of artistic
splendor, it needed little to adapt it to
the requirements Of a ballroom. The
Japanese figures, the'magnifcent bronzes,
the paintings, statues, and numberless
works of cost from every part Of the
world, had only to be heaped together in
more than usual profusion, and the some
what severe aspect of the architecture
merely lightened with additional tapes
tries and banners. The dining
room, the walls covered with fres-
Goes on golden ground, naturally
did duty for the buffet, while
an extra room, built out over the garden,
and draped with Gobelins, served as a
cool retreat from the heat of the ball
room. The host was dressed in the ele-
CANT Italian costume worn by his mother
in lie Passant," while she herself, in a
white satin dress, with tall hat, appeared
as the most charming Of Pierrettes.
Some of the dresses were fantastic enough
Mile. De Gournay, for instance, being
made up as Puss in Boots, and Mile.
Abbeind as black Pierrot. The paint
ers present were naturally most correct
in their attire-Detaille, for instance,
wearing the undress uniform Of an Eng
lish Guardsman; Jaquet, veritable
Italian medieeval costume, and Bastien
Lepage looking a Calabrian brigand to
the lite. But to enumerate the guests
would be to give list of all the notabili-
ties in Paris. To show the electric ma
ture of the gathering, I need only men
tion that it included the famous Sergeant
Hoff, whose bust, by Mile. Bernhardt, is
to be exhibited in the next salon.
Dancing was carried on with a reckless
gayety which found its excuse in the
license of carnival time, and the view Of
the scene, as witnessed from the stair
case, which is the most conspicuous
feature of the studio, leaves an impress
sion which, by those who enjoyed it, will
not easily be forgotten. ...
