tainment ut the National Theater.

a number of ladies of the city are engaged
in getting up for charitable purposes a 'kir-
mes to take place on the 18th day of May, at
the National theater similar to the one which
recently proved successful in Baltimore
Some of the ladies and gentlemen who took
part In the Baltimore kirmes have consented
to come over and participate i'm this of Wash
1ngton. Prof. IMarwig, ''maitre de ballet" of
New York, will have the chief management
and will come over once week from NewYork
to give the necessary instructions in the differ
ent dances and the arrangement OF the va
riOuS tableauS,
The Washington Light Infantry, through Col.
Moore, Its commanding officer, have placed
their armory hall at the disposal of the lady
managers Tor the purposes of practising the
dances and arranging the tableauX. Mr.. Frank
n. Ward also offered the halls his head
quarters on ID street tor the same purpose, but
they were found too narrow. Arrangements
have been made with Mr.. Rapiey for the use OF
the National theater on the occasion.
AS now proposed, the entertainment will
comprise stately minuet, as danced by Sir
Roger de Coverly in the days of good Queen
Anne; dance by the wild, rowing Gipsies in
hand. Then there will be Tyrolean damsels
singing the "Rauz des Vaches' and with their
horns calling their lovers from the Alpine
heights. And the Swedes will also be there
with golden hair, and lovely eyes There will
also be seen the rosebud dance around the May
pole, as in the days when in Old ''Merrie Eng
land each village green had its May pole, and
the Indian dance. in which, perchance kingly
fowhatan and beautiful Pocahontas, fiery Te-
cumseh, wild OsceOla, sweet Minnehaha, and
Bright Eyes will take part. The Japanese will
be present in their costumes.
In these various dances there will be assem-
bied about three hundred young ladies of
Washington and Baltimore society.
Around the stage will be booths artistically
and enthusiastically arranged, over which
will preside stately matrons surrounded by
dresden china dolls prettler than the impe-
rial mandatory ere turned out, and more pre-
