1t came to the knowledge of young
Mercutio Montague that there was to
be a ball at The palace of the Capulets
and he suggested to Romeo that he
might tilere1find a fairer face than that
of the tickle RosaIine 1t was finally
agreed that they should go masked,
more as a boyish lark han anything
else.
Hardly had Romeo entered the
house when he espied Juliet Capulet,
the only child of the house. It was
love at first sight with both the young
people, and with a childish regard for
conventionalities they sought the first
opportunity to declare their affections.
After he balFRomeo Montague lin
gered near to the Capulet house for a
last look at his sweetheart and was
rewarded by seeing her at her cham
Der window. which overlooked a mas
sive balcony heavily covered with
growing ines.
He called softly to Juliet, who re-
%sponded. and there in the moonlight
he poured into her willing ears the
story of his love.
Until a m before, when she
had learned the truth from her nurse,
she did not know that her young lover
was of the hated house OF Montague
She chided him gently for his offend
ing in that regard, and he reminded
her that she was of the house Of Cap
ulet. With a wisdom beyond one Of
tender years Juliet declared that
all the name did not make such :
a great difference, as a rose by any
name would smell as sweet.
The upshot Of the moonlight meet
was that the two agreed to slip
away the nex morning and get mar
ried. The wedding was arranged for
by the old nurse of Juliet, who sought
services of Friar Laurence, a
friend oil the house OF Montague.

the old nurse, and after the cere-
nony Juliet was hurried away to her .
home.
