some time ago, and acquitted himself
with much credit. He is thoroughly fa-
miliar with South American affairs.

MASKED BALLS in FRANCE.

, amusing incident to the Queen that
as soon as she reached the opera
she mentioned her adventure to some
of those whom she met. "C'est moi
en- fiacre; n'est-ce pas bien plaisant?'
she said, and next morning all Paris
knew of the adventure.
The First Empire.
During the Directory the taste for
fancy dress balls was carried to a
| great extent, and the domino was
worn at the balls given all over Paris.
Statesmen, 'grandes danes" and
princes liked to show themselves at
the opera ball. Down to the end of
| the Empire the domino preserved the
tone and character of the ~aristocracy.
At the balls given black and colored
dominos were the prevailing costumes;
the men wearing evening dress and a
black mask.
In 1880 the quietest people used to go
to the opera balls, which, be it said,
were less wild than those of former
days. Under the Second Empire, how
ever, people amused themselves enor-
mously. The marvellous fetes given by
the court in the forest of Fontaine-
bleau set the example, and Paris had
one continual carnival, where Folly
shook her bells all over the city.
IL is very rarely, in these days, that
Paris resume her ~exhuberant festive
air; but the opera ball still shines
with a certain luster, and the success
of a domino has not yet waned. Moth
ing will replace the discreet garment,
with it's feminine charm and odor of
intrigue and mystery. Every year in
vention is called in to turn out new
charming creations. In these circum-
stances one must display good taste
and break with all the traditions of
personal fashions, if one really de-
sires to put on "incognito." Thus fan
tastic ideas are carried to their fur
thest limit, and those who like the
style of any given ps.io1 can e2.i.
borrow what they 6esile.
The dominic, as made at the psiicl of
it's origin, should be of brown, black or
white bure, austere and rigid in its
lines. For the time of the Renaissance
it should be of brilliant black stuff, and
very narrow, At the pompous Court of
the "Roi Soleil' it was enriched with
embroidery and magnificent passemen-
teries, and became heavier. Under the
regency colored dominos were intro
duced, and whirled round in the dance
like brilliant butterflies.
And so they have continued to this
day. At this moment the dressmakers
bring to bear all the of their
art in the production of this garment.
Under the inspiration of current fash
ions they form the most ingenious and
the most expensive models.

tons of this city have many and
strange tales to tell Of the lengths to
which the maudlin efforts of the fool
ish will reach. One man, who is fam
iliar with criminal procedure by reas-
on of an experience extending over a
score Of years. talked about the sub
ject in this way:
Whenever there Is a big murder
trial under way Their is sure to be a
corresponding outbreak Of feminine
idiocy. | don't know why it is that
women invariably make heroes Of men
accused OF the most brutal crimes, but
they do. Maybe it is their innate sym
pathy finding expression. l say, may
be. Personally | don't think 1t Is any
thing OF the kind. Just what it Is |
don't know. 1t is too deep a pscholo-
gical question for me.
"But l do not know the effect Is on
the prisoners. 1t is just as that mai
out in Kansas says 1t is. tending to
eAalt the criminal in his W estima-
ton. And nothing could be nor hurt
full to the judicial system. Just let me
put a case before you. A man is ar
rested for murder, which, on the face
OF the circumstanial evidence, there
seems little doubt he committed. Let
US suppose that when he is taken to
Jail he is at first inclined to remorse
desire to lead a better life, no matter
whether he ever have the opportun-
ity to practice it or not.
Along comes a mash note, with a
bunch of flowers, from some foolish
girl. What happens? The prisoners
vanity is aroused. He forgets about
his contrition. He knows he Is being
written up in the papers. He gets
more boquets and sees himself a
prison life is the greatest e~yeopener
imaginable. When he Is in such a
condition he Is a fit subject for mis-
sionary effort. He nay be repentant
and may confess his sin and have a
hero. He brazens It out. He glories
in his position and regards his crime
as the means to the end OF fame. This
is all wrong, and for this reason there
ought to be legislation restraining the
misguided from interfering with pris-
oners."

when they were not looking he ignited

shoot the blaze up into his face and
his nose and eyes received the worst
