The Danger Of Incognito.

From Harpers Magazine
Ever since the "thirties'' the pretty little
Orleanaises have danced into the small
hours of the morning without clue to
their partners identity, for with wig and
mask completely covering the head. the
masker's incognito may well defy detec-
ton. Indeed, even If lady were able to
recognize masker through some peculiar
ity of his speech, she would be careful to
keep her discovery to herself. Frequently
I am told, extremely droll incidents have
resulted from crafty expedient resorted
to by married men to keep their wives In
doubt regarding their whereabouts on the
night of the ball. This usually consists
of an agreement between two maskers to
call out their respective wives Not long
ago two gentlemen who had formed sim
liar pact danced through the night without
either of the ladies suspecting their ident-
ity. when the one masker-a doctor-pleased
with the way the scheme was progressing,
and seeing his wife glide past on the arm
of his partners husband, chose to add an
additional convincing note to the decep-
| ton by exclaiming, why, there goes the
doctors wife,
yes" replied his pretty partner, exam
| lining his wife with a hypercritical eye
/ isn't she an awful mess?"
