MARpl eRAs CALLS OF YoRe.
Slaves bearing Lanterns Led the Ell
eEnnt Creolea 60 the Dnnce.

egant CreoleS TO the Dance.
Tho Mardi Gras balls in the early DAYS
were held in the first New Orleans Opera
House, and since then in the present one,
which today is historic, writes Harrydelo
Hallmark I'm The Ladies' Homo journal
of the social life of Now Orleans "Then.
as now, the floor of the Opera House was
given over TO the dancers The refresh
munts consisted of orange flower slrup
mixed with water and sugar and served
with homemade cake All the ladies
walked TO the place of entertainment
They could not ride because the streets
were SO narrow and the cutters so wide
that n carriage would probably have broken
down
ION such evenings in the old days the
town was given over to the laughing
groups of stately gowned women who had
brought over with them from Paris their
silk frocks and their icwelcd snufrboxes,
and who kept Mime. Sophie for their dress
maker In front of each group Of splen
didly gowned women were African slaves
holding lanterns by whose dim light the
merry groups found their way. Behind
the men slaves came the women slaves,
bearing the satin slippers of their mis-.
tresses in their hands
- II the weather wero too inclement for
the cortege TO pass through the streets in
this manner, postponement of the ball
was cried through tho streets TO the sound
of beating drum, and the ladies who sat
on the upper balconies chattcd with the
criCr.' 1t was understood that the ball
would take place ON the next fine evening
As for the street pageants, there was
none. Men and women laughed and chat
ted in the narrow streets and pelted each
other with paper balls. 1t was revelry
without system from pure love Of gay
ety. "

hsNr GLASS.
More used Now Thnn Ever-ffow II Il
Formed Into shnpel


Bent glass was at one time more com
monty used for showcase fronts than for
anything else, but 1t has come TO be EN-
ployed for variety of purposen and It Is
now used far more extensively than ever
before. Its use in store fronts Is becoming
more and moro familiar, very lnrge plates
being bent for this purpose 1t Ia now used
more than ever before In the construction
Of buildings for dwelling purposes, In
windows on rounded corners and in tow
ers; It is used i'm coach fronts; It is used
In the rounded front china closets and in
making glass cabinets Either plain glass
or beveled giass may be bent, andto any
curve.
For one use and another glass in many
sizes is now bent in many forms. The
number of molds required for current
use in a glass bending establishment is
large, and the accumulated molds num-
ber thousands
Glass Is bent in kiln Glass melts at
1900 degrees The heat employed In bend
ing Is / 800 degrees No pyromcter would
stand long in that heat. 1t might last an
hour, but It would not last day, and so
the heat of the kiln is judged from the
color of the fame and other indications.
BY long experience and observation the
expert glass bender is enabled TO estimate
the heat in this manner with accuracy.
Smaller pieces OF glass are PUT into the
molds in the kilns with forks nade for the
purpose The great molds used for bend
ing large sheets of glass arc mounted on
cars, so that they can be rolled in and out
Of the kilns The glass is laid upon the
top of the mold over the cavity and It is
bent by it's own weight. As It Is softened
by the heat it sinks into the mold and so
is bent into forms. 1t may take an hour
or two to bend the glass, which is then left
in the kiln from "a to 80 hours to anneal
and cool Glass to be bent, of whatever
kind or size it may be, is put into the
kilns in its finished state. Tho great heat
to which it is subjected does not disturb
the polished surface Despite the exercise
of every precaution more or less glass Is
broken in bending It. Bent glass cost about
30 per cent more than the aat,-New York
