The chairs are covered with linen:
the curtain is pulled up; carpenters are
at work on the stage; man with a
broom is sweeping up the sn0w-tlakes
and shaking them in a sieve to get the
dirt out of them; man in his shirt
sleeves and straw hat is playing at a
piano, and the stage manager is show
Ing one of the actors the business" of
anew part.
Then in comes Paris. She is dressed
In white, with big yellowish hat. She
is small, muscular. quite pretty and
very pleasant. She speaks only a few
words of English. Signorina Paris is
a Neapolitan, and has been ballet
dancer from childhood. She is only
twenty-fo four years old; but dancers be-
gin young.
She Gets Ready for Business.
The signorina bows and smiles to
everybody. and goes at once to her
energies transformed. The street dress
is gone, and in its place is ballet skirt,
above which she wears little dark
loose jacket, and her legs to the knee
are clothed in pink silk stockings.
Above these is kind of bloomer ar
rangement, made of loose white cotton.
This is her working costume. 1t is
cool. Nothing but bathing suit could
be cooler. 1t saves wear and tear of
more expensive gowns. and it gives free
play to the body and limbs.
Then, while the piano plays and the
carpenters hammer and the actor drills,
the signorina goes quietly Off in a cor
ner and stands on one leg while she
swings the other like pendulum. This
she varies by standing on the leg that
has been swinging and kicking her out
stretched hand. Then she walks about
On her toes and whIrls bit. Then she
returns to the kicking and the pendu-
luin, alternating the leg.
For three hours these exercises are
kept up. In themselves they are much
the same movements that the German
gymnasium instructors make elderly
gentlemen perform. They are perfectly
simple. but the length of time that tue
signorita Keeps the thing up without
stopping is simply astonishing.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Notice was given
today by the Chicago Lake line agents
that, taking effect Sept. l. lake and rail
rates to New York will be advanced
from l5c to 171zc per 100 pounds on flour
and grain products and TO zoe Oh other
siXth-class freight. This is tile direct
result of the combine between the
Northern Steamship company and the
Reading system, which is to take place
Sept. 1. The Boston rate on -four will
be advanced to 1870 at the same time.
A better maintenance of rates and
agreements is now predicted as result
of the combine, and considerable salts
faction is expressed by those lines that
had been forced to accept 15c on flour
to New York.

Ball of Fire on a Housetop.

During a severe electrical storm this
evening the Crescent oil refinery was
struck by lightning and caught fire. but
the blaze was eXtinguished without
much damage. The house of Ferdinand
Kreiner was struck by ball of electri-
cal fire, which exploded with tremen-
dous force. A fire alarm was turned in,
but the electrical display burned itself
out without even setting fire to the
house. Eye witnesses say it was the
most remarkable sight they ever wit
fire lodged against the peak of the house,
where it hung, burning and splitting
flashes of ire until exhausted.

The general public has read quanti-
ties of pathetic little stories about the
home life of the actress and the dancer,
and how, after all the tinsel and hand
clapping and the sea of upturned faces,
she goes home to the drunken husband
or the poor old father, all of which is
very pretty and is technically known as
effect by contrast
The Dancers Hard Work.
But for the dancer with a big salary
want need occupy no place in her
future. She is well paid. but she works
like a prize fighter in full training.
And about her training there is none of
the outdoor play that there is about his.

ball and tennis, punches bag and eX-
erciSeS the muStleS of his jaw telling

the ballet girl does.

Of the most simple, and at the same
time most tireSome, exercises. Every
body knows how tired it makes one to
hold ones arm out straight for long
time. Well, when you not only hold
your arm out straight, but without
bending your leg kick the palm of your
hand, and do that for minute or so
rapidly, you will lind a minute quite
sufficient to convince you that it is a
fatiguing exercise.
A ballet girl does this till, not she.
but the lOoker-on, gets tired, and then
she laughs and begins to kick the other
leg.
