AtaYucatau Ball.

The same dazzling array Of beauty
jewelbedecked mestresa girls beamed
upon us this evening as at the first
dance, and soon all my friends We're
busy filling their books for the dances.
There was no prescribed style of dress
for the men; some wore their shirts out
side, tiuttering in the evening air; some
wore them inside, and some of the most
AristOcratic even wore coats, but all wore
their hats. UnobservCd in corner, l

the sharp eye of the General espied me,
FROM his chair of state, beneath his own
portrait, draped in Mexican colors.

not dancing?" -,
"Senor General, don't know how. y
eyes you do; you've got to dance, any

With that he approached me, and wher
l tried to dart through the crowd caught
and led me sternly back.
"Here," reckoning 10 lovely girl,
'come, my darling, and dance with el
senor estrangero.'
The girl came and stood in front of me,
smiling.
"That is my niece, the prettiest girl
in The room and the best dancer in the
canton Take her, now, and let her
help yCu."
Then l explained that | never

lot would waltz all around me. 1t was
of no use. He repeated, "There's my
niece ; look at her"
True enough, there she was, waiting
for me to take her out. Oh, she was a
handsome girl, with regular features
ard shapely shoulders, and hung all
around with gold ornaments.
Now that girl couldn't understand a
word of my language, but she must
have seen that didn't want to dance
with her. But when the music struck
up she merely smiled and said, " Vamo-
nos !"
Vamonos is coming along" but l
wouldn't 60. l commenced to explain,
'Senorita, you no see this kind OF dance
