The Naughty aautoh Girls.

The CINCINNATI "Gazette" eX-
poses the fact that the "Nautch
girls" who travelled with Smell
bakers show were no others than
the Vivian sisters, a company of
well-known variety actresses, now
with Tony Pastor. The truth
was brought out in a singular
manner: A lady missionary who
had just returned from India, ac-
companied by a young Hindoo
girl, was to give a lecture in the
city the same night on which the
ENautch girls'performed. The re-
porter borrowed the Hindoo maid
IN and attempted to interview the
"Nautch girls" when the man
ager owned up to the fraud. The
'Nautch girls themselves thus re-
late their experience.
"Oh, what a dreadful time we
had! You see, we had been but a
short time in this country, having
come from England with Jarrett
to do the skipping rope dance in
Cinderella This engagement
came prematurely to a close, and
we were left in New York almost
WITHOUT means. Col. Snelbaker
suggested to us-that is we three,
and Lizzie Latelle, then of our
party-the Nautch girl scheme.
We had eve seen a Nautch girl;
but no matter, a ballet master, one
Norvissimo, was brought in and
we were taught the proper steps,
and as the SALARY offered was large
the farce began. A costume was
selected, modelled after an Egyptian
mantel ornament, our faces, arms
and busts painted with a copper
colored mixture, and we were
taken heavily yelled to Philadel-
phia, where our debut was to be
made. 1t was really dreadful.
We we're prisoners for six mortal
weeks, not even being allowed to
speak to any of the company, who
for a long time actually believed
us to be the genuine article. AT
the Smedley House we were reg
istered as Hindoos, and being left
IN the room by our agent and
supposed interpreter, went an en-
tire day without food or fire, not
daring to speak to anyone. EN-
lily tried to make signs to the

heartily at the queer plight we
were in that the fellow thought
