light cloth, worn with blue stock, looked
oddly enough above the fluffy white
petticoats. Half the girls wore cheap
little shirt waists, as plain as those Of
an American school girl. They all
looked young and simple, had pretty
figures, and seemed to be having a
thoroughly good time. Those who
were not on the stage sat seriously in
the boxes and knitted or crocheted. The
premiere danseuse had cold and
