entertainment as unique as 1t will be beau

stage by men and women in gorgeous cos
tunes.
The players head the procession, which
possesses throughout a pretty series of i
marches and countermarches, the differ
ent suits in line led by the ace. Then by /
some sort of clever arrangement the cards i
are settled upon the floor and fascinating /
chaos of movement and color rules until Il
each card is in place. Then the pack Is
cut and the deal passed.
Nine A. S. Arcsn and her husband Il
formerly conducted school of dancing Il
