cony there was such a spirit of jollity
and vivacious enjoyment in the sport as
make the American girl the ideal of a
mans responsiveness in fun. The crowd
below, despite its canaitle character, was
now full of enchanting Italian gayety.
There were laughter and @mirth, and
quick return charges of confetti fire;
there were young French art students
filling their bags with shot, and young
German officers bringing Won Moltke's
tactics to bear on their tin-ladle throw
ing. Even Romans themselves, much
as they may scOrn Carnival sports, can
not resist this last riot of mimic fighting.
Italian officerssa least, are men before
they are Romans, too much men not to
try their luck before the battery of dis
eliminating eyes. For the hail of con-
fetti is to be taken as something per-
senal and complimentary. Its inten-
sity is in proportion to the attraction of
the object. A white-washed coat and
battered hat are to be looked upDhs ab

posite was the figure of beautiful
young woman, whose nationality be-

dark eyes and the child-1ike naivete
with which shesabandoned herself to the
enjoyment of the scene. She was quite
unprotected. Her wire mask lay in her
lap, her dipper beside it, and behind her
huge feather fan she was laughing
heartily at some Of the nonsense before
her. With the aim of true science my
young neighbor covered the beauty with
shower like hail. She, with the quick
ness of theItalian temperament to take
| fire, dropped her fan. seized her dipper,
and seeing then what manner of man
her antagonist was, loaded it to the full
and returned a shot as effiectives as his
own. Forthe next half-hour the fight
went on, the most serious damage re-
sulting from the now equally active
interchange of glances. There is moth
