SATAN DANCED
With PRETTY WOMEN.
IT WAS PLAIN THAT THE SAME
OLD SERPENT
That Did Duty in Eden Was in the Madison
Square Garden at the French Function,
and as the CorkS Of Cold Bottles Popped
1t Kissed from the Wine..-New FORKS
kaleidoscope of WantOn WiCkedneSS.

New YORK, February 20.-The first
French bail OF the era OF Parkhurst,
LexoW and reform deserves a special
page in the annals OF wickness. II was
not marked by any one very sensational
episode, such as made some OF iss pre-
decessors memorial, but for long drawn
naughtiuesS il was without peer
1t was naughty from start to finish
worse in the middle aud stupider al the
end, when vugsrty had grown stale,
fat and Improbable; when the fumes
of wine that had first lifted gayly stock
! inged feet into midar held them glued
! 10 the floor. and the atmosphere was
/ overaden with tobacco smoke and pro-
/ family.
4 The ball flied every desire OF its or
gapizers and patrons. While not over
| crowded. the attendance was good, the
patronage of the wine room was enor-
nous. the financial returns correspond
| iugly large and the effects consequent .
| ly uproarious.
Never had a greater number Of
/ policemen, in and out Of uniform, been
! crowded into the Madison Square Gar
den. and never did they interfere less
/ with the prevailing hilarlty.
CONDUCTED FROM The FLOOR.
Their notion of the decorum they
were expected to maintain suited The
ideas of the managers perfectly. When
rovsterers became unbearaOly obstrep-
erous and shouting crowds collected
tke policemen rushed forward and In
! some instances conducted the chief Of
Tenders from the door. That was all.
There was no feeling OF shame In the
breasts OF most OF the women escorted
nv Dolicemen to the exist was mere
Iy huge Joke that served to make
! them conspicuous in the crowd. They
left the floor 0y one door and returned
few seconds later by another to re-
sumo their places with the added ustre
OF momentary notoriety. Interference,
even of this mild nature, was lnIre-
ouent and II the managers
had been told to do their
own police work they could not have
! been more lax
CAPTAIN Pickett was the only man in
the Garden VINO seemed TO take matters
seriously. le darted from place TO
Mace during the small hours yesterday
morning, as though he intended to keep
the French ball as orderly as the Char
ity or as DR.. Parkhurst might desire to
| have 1t.
Inspector Mclaughlin, In civilian at
tire. walked across the foor few
times and seemed to enjoy it, 1t was
then early, and quite orderly. He saw
fit to object TO one startling costume,
however, and he directed the wearer to
cotne herself.
MISS ALIENS SKIRTS.
Miss Angelina Allen. who first made
herself famous by wearing blue satIl
tights, slippers aud bodice as bathing
dress in Asbury Park, and by being
ordered off the beach of that strictly
moral resort, had expected TO reveal hel
charms TO the attendants at the oalI 10
suit Of trunkleSs 6eshings extending
from her armpits TO her feet.
She tiptoed down stairs from the
ladies' undressing room aud was greeted
by looks OF admiration from every sld'
until Inspector Mclaughlin saw her
He gruflly babe her return up STAIR
and dress. She retired, and when sh'
next appeared she had on black satir
corset, around the edge Of which some
black lace, few inches wide had be Ell
pinned.

1.-THE police made me Dut on skirts.
There were few girls in tights anC
without skirts. One amazon, IN olu'
tights and trunk, peroxide ringiets anC
rough heeks, insisted on PLAYING oes
