VIII the prouder beauties of Paris
by-night accept the invitations, the
carriages, the toilet Injuries and the
brides in the shape of prizes? OF late
years when they showed themselves at
the masked balls of the opera these
prouder ones almost made it rule to
come, like countesses, in long dominoes
and masks. When they had not a box
to refuge in they kept fitting about the
corridors mysteriously, ever busy. AS
the real countesses behaved-and still
behaVe-exactly the same, there is no
telling them apart, for countess will
accept an invitation to supper, though
she viii take care not to keep the en-
gagement. It is a rule of common de-
cency to respect dominoes, just as it is
the custom to take liberty with girls in
fancy dress.
Now, lady impeded by a dragging
wrap like domino cannot dance even
should she wish to. 1t is the custom for
domlnoes never to dance. On the other
hand, warned by the remembrance of
past winters, will the desirable element
risk itself in fancy dress? Even with
the protection of mask the adventure
looks risky. The petulant beauties of
Paris have grown very pretentious. To

Amid the dancing. rioting thousands
of gay masks and costumes, to the

greatest razzle-dazzIe OF its kind in the

1t is simply a question of taking your

great secret of the Paris-qui-sa of

$40 worth of gayety to be served to you:

gayety; and when the unlucky buyer
cannot understand the language it is
spoken in it scarcely seems like gayety
at all. On the other hand. inability to

A MASKED BALL

A LII society is looking forward to

Of the opera, which for 200 years drew
pleasure seekers from all parts of the
world to revel in good time, is retard-

city, and the ball of eIden times is now
an affair of rare occurrence.
Thoroughly cosmopolitan in its at

People came simply to watch his meth

twenty-feur violins, with altos and con-

racket which is required to set the
world dancing at the opera ball. One
memorable night, at certain moment
In the measure, he caused quantity
OF chairs to be thrown from a height
behind the scenes and make a great
crash, and the final galop was termin-
ated by the rapid firing of guns and
pistols. Then, when all was over, the
crowd dragged him from his place and
bore him on their shoulders in crazy
triumph.
Today they are most likely to be bear
ing some poor defenseless girl on their
shoulders In crazy triumph, and the
most fearful detail of the same Is sure
to be their carelessness in observing
the rule of right side up with care. 1t
is supposed to be an amusing trick.
The poor little thing is whisked off her
feet and the next moment her toes are
pointing to the stars high up above a
slow procession that gathers numbers

Girls thus mishandled are supposed to

dream of such indelicacy. Nor are the

quently seems most numerous and pre-
dominant.
Mr.. Collier went on, however, to devel-
OF the practical question. The type
most in fashion has naturally the best
chance in the marriage market, and it is
therefore greatly to the interest of the
human race that the fashionable type
should be that which is vigorous and
robust, rather than that which is deca-
dent and anaemic and semi-hysteri al.

Mr.. Golfers advice to his brother ar
lists therefore is: For heavens sake
let your ideal types be healthy, whatever
else they be- IF the decadent artists
ever succeeded in making their mon
strosities fashionable it would go far to
ruin England" We have apparently no
very pronounced ideal Of beauty in our
modern art. Let us hope that our ar
lists will evolve from the numerous an
tecedent types at their disposal one
which will satisfy not only the condi-
lions of art, but the important land eIe-
mentary conditions of life.

Torrance who long to see the old times
back at the opera. Foreigners always
find the masked balls hot stuff in
the language of young American who
had his first experience of them last
winter. The facade of the opera house
blazes with lights, the broad stairway
of honor" lined with mysterious domi-
noes and men in evening dress, gives
an impression of grandeur; the first
burst of the immense orchestra, heard
in the distance, starts the imagination

young American to do some rioting OF
his own. As he danced three times in
his first three-quarters of an hour he
must have danced with three masked
beauties from the factories Of Belle
vile or the pig-killing yards of Gre
nellie They were respectively a Span
ish senorita, lady of the court of Hen
ry III, and a lady clown with a white
topknot. He danced them with such
enthusiasm and led them out to take
champagne at one franc a glass with
such gayety of manner that the girls
treated him like the fine young fellow
he was. Without knowing it, he was
showing them the best fifteen minutes
apiece of their evening. Then he got
lost and fetched up-by the merest ac-
cident-in quiet corner under the
stairs. where two frightened American
girls swathed in dominoes were beat
ing off couple of forward Frenchmen
whose ideas of masked balls differed
from their own. This boy walked up to
beauty in distress and, in a CHEEKY tone
that had nothing to wound the sur
prised Frenchman, called out:

THE GIRLS OF 1891.

The girls of 1901 were meek of de-
meanor. wore low gowns in the day
time and walked the streets in thin
slippers; answered yea and nay when
they were spoken to and never gave
their opinions unasked, says the Lady's
Pictorial. Their most daring accom-
plishment was that of playing the harp,
and if they had ever braved the chan
mel in packet and reached Paris or

turous travellers. Seeing, therefore,

REUNION OF TERRITORIAL LEGIS-

In recent number of The CoNSER-
vATIvE, was published communication
from Major J. Edward Burbank, of
Boston, inviting survivors of the Ne
braska legislature of 1859, to hold re-
union at some convenient point, and go
over the old times. Major Burbank, in
those days, was a highly cultivated
writer, and was connected with the
Broadaxe, a paper published at Falls
City, then very small village, and a
paper welding large influence in the
sparely settled country of those terri
torial days. On reading the notice in

mands of the mammoth crowds, which
are expected. The entire street railway
system of Buffalo, driven by the power
of Niagara Falls, is so laid out as to
secure direct communication from all
parts Of the city to the exposition
grounds. At the northern boundary of
the grounds, there has been built a fine
steam railway station. A two-track,
steam belt line encircles the city of
Buffalo, reaching this station, and all
the steam railroads, centering in Buffalo,
have access to these tracks. This means
of transportation will be extensively
used, both for excursion trains from out
the city, and for conveying people from
the various parts of the city to the

HOTEL AND TRANSPORTATION FA-
CILITIES AT BUFFALO.

The people of Buffalo have made
ample provision for caring for many
thousands of strangers during the ex-
position. About 1000 householders
have registered with the Bureau of In
formation, offering to throw open their
homes for the reception of expected
guests. Many new hotels have been
built, and apartment houses have been
reconstructed for hotel purposes. 1t is
estimated that, without crowding,
from 15O, 900 to 100000 people may be
accommodated within convenient dis
tance of the exposition grounds. Mag
ara Falls and the Tonawandas, accessi-

note all error of date in your article
on Chief Blackbird. Lewis and Clark

river until 1904 MAY 4th is the date they
entered the Missouri) and Mr.. Astor's
party, under Mr.. Hunt, was not organ
lied until June %, 1910. Mr.. Catlin
visited the grave of Blackbird and
painted the surroundings in 1882. In
1856 notations were made in the Smith
sonian report that "the river has now
changed it's course, running far to the
eastward, leaving the foot of the hill
a lake in the old bed of the river"
(page 265, s. R. vol. 2, 1S85) In the
fall of 1890, Prof. T. H. Lewis, of Min
neapolis, all archeologist of note, was
here looking up relics of the mound
builders, and the question of Black
birds grave, came up in my interview.
In looking over my files of his visit, 1
see that 1 made no reference to his
statement in that respect, but my recol-
lection is, that he rather trusted Mr..
Catlin's visit in 1882. In Catlin's

1850 he claims to have seen the cedar
post over Blackbird's grave, thirty
years after his death.

his interment is marked by a wooden
cross, which may be seen by navigators
at considerable distance. 1t
is several years since he was buried
here. No one has disturbed the cross
which marks the grave" Mr. Catlin
