Let the government offer to coin it into

Quatre of Perrot eclipsed all her form er
achievements.
The Pas de Quatre was probably the
finest bit of ballet dancing in the history
OF the art. 1t was like play in which
all the great actors of the age figured in
the cast. There were four great ba llet
dancers in London at the time and each
Of them claimed to be the superior of the
other. TO bnng them all together bar
moniousiy was difficult task. The
rivals OF Taelioni were Lucille Grain,
Carlntta Giisl and the famous Certo.
Rehearsals passed off smoothly enough,
and Lu nley, the manager OF Her Majesty s
the.ter, congratulated himself on the
great hit he Was about to make. The an.
nouncements OF the dance were made on
large scale and all fashionable London
was prepared to pay almost any price to
see it.
But ON the morning OF its production
the storm broke. Ali four cl imsd the
honor of dancing last, and Perrot, the
ballet master, was driven to desl Grafton.
Eventually il was agreed that Tagiioni
should dance last. but there was no hope
OF settling the war between the other
three as to who should dance next to
last. To dance first would have been a
public admission that she was of the least
Importance, and no money could induce
any of the three to do that.
Perrot in despair sought Lumley and
told him the Pas de Quatre was impossi-
BILE Lumley thought awhile and then
sent Perrot back to the warning queens
with this message: Let the Oldest lady
WED position" That caused a revolu-
ton. None of the ladies would take the
place as gracious gift. and The matter
was finally left to the jugment Of Perrot,
who succeeded in arranging matters to
the satisfaction of all.
A criticism of the dance at that time
said: From the palace to the shop
counter the Pas de Quatie was the great
topic of the day, to the exclusion OF everv
interest, however serious. The excite
ment crossed the channel. Foreign
papers circulated histories and fescrIp-
lions of its wonders. Foreign courts re
ceived. along with off cisl dispatches de-
tailed accounts of its extraordinary cap
tivations. 1t was literally European
EVENT."
Dancing was not the only qualification
OF a queen of the ballet fifty years ago.
She had to possess bistrionic ability and
the rare talent of the pan;omime artist. All
OF the great dancers told some story OF
the day, humorous. sentimental or tragic.
Fanny Ellsler excelled in pantomime,
and was only second to Tagli0ni as a
dancer.
In those days the skirts of the ballet
dancers extended below the knee, but of
course when in motion they scared con-
siderably above that point. Iii 1881 the
skirts were as voluminous as street
gowns reaching to the ankle, as shown
in the picture of Nine. Simont. Ten years
later skirts had disappeared altogether
and the costume was of the airiest posi-
bla description. The dress OF Nile. Hill
ligsb,ry SHOWS the costume of that time.
Thirty years later skirts were almost as
long as ever, and thew have been growing
shorter by slow degrees since then.

The one thing to rem Der in cleaning
lace is TO AVOID rubbing il. The best way
to do is to obtain a bottle CT round sticK,
or some other round, smooth article, and
round it to roll the lace, dampening it
slightly as you do so. This will stretch
it and make it smooth. Leave it on the
bottle, or whatever you NAV use, until IT
IS quite dry, then take it off and lay il in
folds OF five or X inches long. The best
plan Ii TO tack the lace. so as to be quite
sure that the edges are even. Fill a basin
