peror Disguised as Dolls.
Some of the highest of the Austrian
nobility appeared in private theatricals
the other day at birthday festival
given to one of the Imperial Arch
dukes. The entertainment concluded
with pantomime entitled THE DOLL
shop" specially written for the oc-
casion. The stage was arranged to re-
present shop, and on shelves all
round the walls were placed ladies and
gentlemen of the Austrian aristocracy
dressed up in every variety of costume
to represent dolls, and perfectly mani
mate in appearance.
Princess Pauline Metternich was the
"chief boss saleswoman of the store,
the Prince John Shwarzenberg and

OThus the Countess Roman PotOcka,
who was dressed up to represent a
Japanese doll, on being carefully
wound up performed most graceful
"1um-Yum" dance from the Mi
kado." Baroness Hardtmath repre-
sented a doll dressed in Upper
Austrian peasant costume, and per-
formed the national dance to perfec-
ton. Countess Hunyady was dressed as
a Spanish Gypsy girl, and tripped the
famous "Castagnette" step with all the
grace and brio of a true Spaniard. On
concluding their separate dance they
became again inanimate and were
lifted back with the utmost care to
their places on the shelves.
As the clock struck midnight, how.
ever, the doll fairy, in the person of
Countess Clothildc InenGdorf made her
appearance on the scene, accompanied
by her attendant elfs, and, touching
the dolls with her electric and magic
wand, gave life and breath to all the
dolls. A ballet performed by all this

and the doll fairy, concluded the per.
