| Academy last night was u most deiigh tt'al
affair One seemed suddenly inducted iatn
some weird world Of fancy, where the plain
and wcll-known real had given way TO the
| charmngly mysterious ideal the Kings
\ Fool, dancing with the Washington Post
came nearer the actual living present, to
my mind, than anything else OH the pro-
grahme. BY Che way that paper lad Il
| happy, animated miniature in Miss Josie
| Pumphrey. i'll a dress composed entirely of
Posts. Lille Baker wasa lovely Snowflake
and one of the best.dresscd characters OF

| Queen of the Amazons, carried n most sweet
smiling face above her warlike costume

strutting around as Chief of Police. George
| Buchanan, Il beautiful page. Frank Raab,
| Styrian peasant. and j. S. Kelley, with q
sensitive-looking face, suited exactly the
character of a Greek boy.

| Pauline, otherwise Miss Mena Appich this
little midget is only three years old, and ii
reads like fairy story, l know, but is
the truth, nevertheless, that she danced
like grown up. There were several beau
| tiiul fancy dances in groups, by Florence
Crogan, Lille Baker, Minnie Bailey, Mamie
Smith, and others; and Mamie Pumphrey,
n lovely little flower girl, gave Ariel in
fine style, seeming to be a living time-beat
to the music. The other costumes were
