Danseuse.

New York, Dec. IA cunning little
skirt dancer who figures IN La Cigale"
was down at the Judge building tho other
day to interview Lieut. BetUini, the young
inveator who 10 making a new monograph.
Lieut.. Betsini is extremely rich, talented
and susceptible. The young dancer-she
does not like to be called danseuse-is ex-
tremely pretty and is of English descent,
and when the two saw each other and
fell to work talking, they were immensely
pleased from the very beginning The
dancer has husband far away in old Eng
land, and she left him behind when she
came over to kick her pretty self about in
the pretty opera, but she brought with her
a charming accent and lovely boyish per-
sonality which has made her favorite
with the young men Of the to wn.
No word that is not of the most charming
description has yet been breathed about the
pretty young woman, and so far in her
career she has disportcd herself only wit
those whose reputation is of the very best
and whose conduct is of the most savory.
At present very we'll bred young blood
is taking her about after the performances to
see such part Of New York lire as IS going
at that time. Young Bettini heard OF her
aud invited her down because he thought
that she might enjoy seeing the machine,
which is indeed most novel one
The pretty girl was charmed With it; she
was perfectly delighted with it; she talked
to it, sang to it and danced to it, and the
machine responded most faithfully to all
except the dancing.
By some peculiar arrangementof sound
Lieut.. Bettini is able to make anything talk.
That is by fixing the apparatus TO a table be
can actually cause the wood TO vibrate 80
that it speaks. and when the dear little
dancer had chartered away into the phono-
graph be detached tie plates, or whatever
it is that constitutes the phonograph, and
placed them upon the table
AT a touch from the hand of the talented
inventor the table broke forth into song
and reproduced the English accent in a way
that was most bewitching. Even the little
giggles which hal been irrepressible when
the girl talked into the photograph we're
given with the most startling accuracy and
with a fidelity and lifelkeness which made
the audience laugh. She is a sweet little
thing. and If young New Workers are
quite crushed about her IL is not her
fault 1t is rather to be mentioned in her
favor
New York women are Frenchv in their
dress, but they are not too Frenchy. Even
Frenchy women will admit that IL is posi-
BILE to carry fashions to an excess which is
not at all becoming or pretty, and they will
admit that they are apt to do this them
selves. New York women take French
styles and they take New York styles, and
they combine them so neatly that an en-
tirely new style is produced which is ex-
tremely becoming.
Mrs. Leslie Carter is one of the few
women who understand how to dress. She
can take very commonplace robe, aud
putting 1t on In her own fashion, can make
of it very charming. A woman who has
been admitted into the precincts OF Mrs
Carriers dressing room In the Star theater
where Mrs Carter has been playing "Mis:
Helyett,n quite goes into raptures ovel
