and good music were the sights which met
the gaze of the many visitors at the Opera

pleasures of the dance, and refrained from
the enjeyments to be found in the ball
room, but now that Lent and its attendant
duties had passed, the enjoyment was un-
bounded

its awakening echo. and when the waltz
was heard the flying feet of more than a
hundred and twenty-five dancers kept
rythmic time to the enhancing music.

dred or more handsome women, graceful
sylph-like figures, fitting here and there
about the ballroom. some leaning on the
arms of their escort, others besieged by
crowds of young men anxlously waiting to
afix their autographs to the pretty dance
cards of the fair ones, whose cheeks bloom
ed and whose eyes sparkled with delight
an d anticipation.
About midnight lunch was served, and
for half an honr or more the gay jewellers
enjoyed respite from their dancing, and
passed the time in pleasant conversation
