The Masked Ball in Nice,

Thursday night we went to the veg
lione, OF masked ball, at the Municipal
theater, and it was decidedly gay
Everybody was there, from royalty down,
and having pretty lively times secure
from recognition in mask and domino.
1t is not every day one can lose ones
personality, so when golden opportun-
ity like this presents itself one must be
stupid indeed not to make the most of it.
Pray don't fancy for moment that the
ball was not perfectly correct; it was, il
was-there were yards upon yards Of IT,
ties; isn't that proof conclusive? The
toilettes were simply gorgeous-what
difference does it make if some of them
seemed designed to reveal not conceal
1.-The human form divine"-what signify
the embraces that we're not timed tC
music-the couples surprised in interest
ing tete-a-tete on the stairs or those who
did not seek even that much seclusion,
| but took their kisses openly i'll the ball
room-mere nothings airy tribes, my
dear assure you this ball was con-
sidered quite the correct thing to 60 to,
and everybody went, English and Amer
leans included, and they did not go only
to look on, either much as they wonld
have you think so.
1t really is funny to hear the two
Misses B. who are invariably wall
flowers at ordinary parties where they
don't wear masks, tel, of the perfectly
lovely times" they have at these balls, Of
which they don't miss a single one. l
guess the poor things never had so much
fun before in all their lives. You know
wall-howers are not even possibilities at
these entertainments, for the simple rea-
son that if the men do notinvite the girls
to dance, the girls ask them, or jig about
merrily alone. There was one quadrille
danced by a party dressed as clowns,
who turned somersaults and danced al
together qnite as much on their heads as
on their heels. We left soon after that,
but hear that the ball lasted till day
light, and they do say that Lord s.
had his hat picked off toward o'clock in
the morning Really, you know, my
curiosity is aroused to know what the
masked balls that are not correct are
like?-Philadelphia Times.

The Business Man and the Newspaper

The Business Man and the Newspaper.
The newspaper and the business man
sometime ago formed a copartnership,
the success of which has been dazzling.
The business man was keen to recognize
the good qualities Of the newspaper, and
the latter was not slow to appreciate the
good qualities of the former. Both
united hands and fortunes and the re-
suit has been gratifying in the extreme.
Let us pause for q while and consider
the same of the good points in news
paper work behind the counter. The
Philadelphia Times, very level, headed
and progressive journal, says on this
line.
"rLe development of the modern news.
paper has had no more remarkable effect
than the change it has produced
in the prevailing ideas with regard to
advertising. Twenty years ago the
tradesman who made known what wares
he had to sell, except in the modest and
general way, was looked upon with some
degree of suspicion, and the professional
man who offered his services by public
advertisement was condemned outright
as necessarily a quack. The change
from that day to this has been almost
complete, and yet it has come about
very gradually, and there are some
trades and professions in which traces of
the old traditions still remain.
Long after the dealers in many kinds
of merchandise had learned the value of
advertising and had profted by it, there
were almost as many more still governed
by the ancient prejudice, who preferred
TO perish in respectable seclusion rather
than invite the public to come to them.
This was the case not only with lawyers
and doctors, but with jewelers.. tailors,
dressmakers and many other trades that
for some reason were supposed to flour
ish only in the dark. The fashionable
tailors long chung to the idea that adver-
tising was not respectable, and there are
q few old timers yet who cannot bring
themselves to anything more undignifed
than private invitations to their GUS
toners, and look on aghast while young
or rivals fill the columns Of the news
papers with attractive descriptions Of
their goods and gather in the custom
that used to go to them.
"The thing to be particularly noticed is
how completely newspaper advertising
has been separated from It's association
with an inferior class of trade. The
great advertisers now are the leading
houses not alone in the extent of their
business, but in its recognized character.
