ATHENS BABY BALL
Attended by Children Invited by

COPYRIGHT 1895
The greatest event m the life Of lit
lie Greek girl is the children's court
ball which takes place at the royal
palace in Athens every year in the
autumn. OF course little boys also at
tend this ball, but they do not have az
good time as the girls for reasons
which will presently explain.
About three hundred children make
their debut at this grand affair every
year. the average age for their first APP
pearance being ten years, although l
have seen little girls there as young as
eight. These newcomers. however,
are not the only children present, for
those who have attended in previous
years are allowed to go again until
they become big girls and boys, in fact
until they are quite grown up. So
highly do they prize this privilege OF
dancing before the king and queen that
young ladies of twenty do not scorn to
be seen on the floor with their little
brothers and sisters.
No little Athenian girl or boy may be
present at this ball except on an invita-
ton addressed personally by the prime
minister. And this honor is reserved
for the children of distinguished fami-
lies and those whose parents belong to
the diplomatic circle. Great is the ex-
element, therefore. among these ten
year-old young ladies and young gen.
tlemen of Athens as the time ap-
proaches for the Invitations to be sent
out. Many are the eager faces at the
doors and windows of Athenian homes
watching for the mounted soldier in
green and red Uniform, whose mission
it is to distribute the precious missives.
These are engraved in French on square
cream-colored cards inclosed in envel
opes bearing the large red government
seal The invitations signed by the
prime minister reads as follows:

forward to ask the little ladies and
their older sisters to dance. Many Of
these officers are present every year,
some coming rom the ships stationed
near Athens, but most of them belong
ing to the standing army. You can
imagine how proud the little girls are
to be led out by one of these splendid
men in uniforms brilliant with silver
bands and cordons. And now you see
why thought the little Greek boys
did not have as good time as their
sisters.
Although had learned TO dance very
nicely in America had great trouble
at this ball, not because the steps were
difficult, they were just the same as
ours, but because of the way they
danced them. For instance in the
waltz they only turn one way and
never reverse. and they turn about
three times as fast as we do. The re-
suit was l soon got very dizzy. and
once or twice nearly fell to the floor.
The little Greek girls, however, did not
seem to mind bit and whirled about
perfectly happy. With them dancing
is second nature and they seem to
know the most difficult steps instinct
lively from babyhood. Besides that
they have private dancing masters to
make them perfect in all the move
ments.
A charming scene it was as all these
black-haired, dark-eyed little gentle
men and ladies whirled about to the
inspiring music, while King George,
Queen Olga and all the grand people
of the court looked on in smiling ap-
prevail. There are very few fair-haired
girls in Athens, child with golden
hair being regarded almost as a curl
osity. Many of the girls are pretty and

young. Most of them are clever lin
gusts, speaking French and other Ian
guages fuently. but few or them, or

cient Greek, which is very different
from that spoken to-day.
While the children dance the king
conversed with his ministers or with
guests of Importance, and the queen sat
in the midst of the ladies of the court,
often pausing in her talk to bestow a
smile or kind word upon some little
child, who would never forget this mark
OF high favor. King George being a

On this occasion he wore his cavalry
uniform, which was almost completely
covered with stars and crosses.
Neither king or queen took part in the
dance. but the princes and princesses
did, and seemed to enjoy the ball as
much as any of the children. OF course
they had to pay strict attention to the
rules of etiquette in choosing their
partners. only the members of distin-
guished families being eligible. Among
all the princess my favorite was Prin-
cess Marie, who seemed always so good
natured and unaffected She was only
a young girl at this time and as fond Of
romping about the gardens Us any of us.
Brightest among all the dancers at
the ball and most lovely, so it seemed
to me, was Princess Marie as she
one o'clock and ended the ball. 1t was
led by Crown Prince Constantin. who,
being heir TO the throne, has been
brought up entirely among the Greeks,
and belongs to the Greek church. Like
his father, he is quite stout. and resern-
bles the Germans more than the people
he will be called upon to rule. Among
the other royal dancers in the cotillion
was Princess Alexandra, who, about a
year later, made the first love match

branches of the Legislature is so densely
partisan as to have an effect on the ele-
ments. The flag on the west wing over
Representative hall tossed happily in
the breeze towards the east and the flag
over the senate chamber foated west
with energy.
The result was to those who noticed it,
two flags within hundred yards floating
in different directions. The Republicans
claim the constitutional and legally or
ganized wind was from the west, and the
fact of the senate flag floating west in
stead of east illustrated the perversity of
the Populist nature
Scientifically the phenomenon was due
to the immense dome changing the
direction of the wind.

CLUBS CATCH 1T.

Pennsylvania Judge Decides They Can't
Run Bars Without Paying License.
PITTsBURe, Jan. 1S.-Chartered clubs
cannot sell liquor even to their own
members. To sell liquor to any person
they must have a license or they are gull
ty of violating the law. The officers in
charge and the employee making the sales
can be held equally liable.
such was the text of decision by
Judge McClung yesterday. Every club
in the state having a sideboard or bar is
affected, and that it is u chartered insti-
tuition is no defense.
It is one of the most far-reaching rul-
ings ever made. At least one man out
of every five in the cities is club mem
Der, and will be affected by it. There
are many legitimate clubs and associa-
lions formed for good purpose, yet
they could not support themselves but

Chung they will have to close up.
The swell clubs will also feel it. Many
we'll to-do citizens, when friend comes
to town, like TO take him to their club 10
entertain him. This decision will inter
fere to large extent with the entertain
ment.
OF course wealthy clubs like the Pitts
burg. Duquesne, Columbus and others
could afford to pay the license fee 1000,
if. "a license should be granted them, but
their position meanwhile is awkward.
There have been numerous instances
of persons who had obtained charters
for clubs merely as blind to run speak
easies, having been convicted, but the
question of the right of a bona fide
chartered club to sell to its members was
never before presented in shape for a

HEAVY SNOWFALL.
Three Feet of snow on a Level in Color

DENVER. Jan. 18.-Reports from the
western slope of the Rockies Indicate
that the snowfall during the past twenty
four hours has been one of the heaviest
ever known. At Ouray, Silverton and
Telluride there is three feet of snow on
the level and traffic is completely block
ed.
In places the snow is drifting twenty
feet deep. A snowslide at the Keystone
mill near Telluride, caught the Rio
Grande southern passenger train. Car
windows were broken and the engine
cab covered with snow. Engineer Andrew
Fisher had a narrow escape.
