A fortnight later a French syndicate bought
the French rights for 500, 900.

of the entertainments, but will be opened to every child in the build
ing. Whether their parents are members Of the kingdom Of ouivera
Or not makes N 20 difference. The hall will belong to the children
and they can enjoy it for the resto of the afternoon.
The enthusiasm Of the children in preparing for a fee of this
sort is easily imagined. The performers range in age from years
to 16 and they vie earnestly with each other in learning the figures
and the steps. A number Of them who have been special pupils Of
they have practced.
Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning they meet in
the Auditorium at 10 o'clock for rehearsal They are only begin
ming the figures now, but in a week or sc they will rehearse in cos

they may participate, and that will not be half enough. Especially

ball rooms in the time of George l.
Polish peasants in their long cloaks and high caps will follow
with a folk dance. and after these will come little Pierre and Ba-
bette from France, who will skip about in the most airy and graceful
of movements.
After the gaiety and hghtness of the French four little girls with
the short, stiff skirts and humping wooden shoes Of the Dutch will
appear. The will perform a peasants jig. La Cicda," a beautiful
figure dance, will follow, with the performers in Spanish costume,
and after this and interpreted among the other numbers will be

Swiss peasants will give a Tyrolean and Spanish dons and maid
ems will give a bolero, with guitar and castenets. The "Csardas,"
an intricate, strange step that constitutes the folk dance of the
peasants in Hungary, will be given by four girls. Even the Turks
will appear.
Then when the Japanese, who are being vastly entertained by al
slipping their tea, there will come a sudden wild clamor from the
dancers room. The kings subjects will look up In alarm Little
Japanese maidens will turn to their stalwart companions for protec-
ton. The mikados guards will form about the throne to protect
with their lives the person of the emperor and of the empress. There
will be an ominous silence, then another cutlery like the warwhoop
of a Comanche Indian. Dreadfully the little folks will await the
entrance of the unknown enemy.
AS they watch there will come a CLEAN of spears and a shuttle
OF unclad feet. A band of African Zulus, with their weapons shin

bodies running forward like 1.-THE beasts, will burst into the hall
Then the mikado Will realize that his clever entertainers have been
surprising him with a unexpected feature of the dancing and the
tea and conversation will be resumed with relief, while the ZuIus,
with much noise but no man-eating intentions, continue with their
dance.
The Zulus, like all the other strange people who have preceded
them, will draw back to one side to u place allotted them and wait
with a fairy tread. The Cupids, armed with their bows and arrows
and carrying their trophies Of wounded hearts, will descend upon the

The world is learning to fly, not as the

Much has been written Of the Wright
brothers and but little of their sister, kath-

is due to her. At all times she has supplied
inspiration and hope and when it was

The brothers were pleased.
A start had been made at conquering
the air when the Wrights took up the work.
This Yves in 1900. Wilbur was 33 and Or
vile was 30. They had been interested in
machinery and had made a living by repair
ing and making bicycles. They lived with
their father, Bishop Milton Wright of the
Methodist church, who was an interested
spectator at some of the recent tests at Fort
Myer.
They started aeroplaning for amusement.

huge bower of cherry blossoms. The rafters and walls will be
where. The nowery, mystical atmosphere of old Japan will trans
form the bare hall into a children's paradise. Around the floor will
be little tea tables such a the japanese sit before when served by
geisha girls, and instead of chairs will be the low mats that guests
rest upon when they accept hospitality in Nippon. Lanterns and
waveTing lights will move about lighting the shadowy hooks and
corners.
Into this scene will come hundreds Of children dressed like Japa-
l nese strolling about for a gala day. There will be little toddling
Japanese babies that can scarcely walk and older youths and maid
the romantic scene Of which they are the most charming part. When
they are assembled Japanese music, tnklng and rapid, will be
played by a orchestra, and the children will form into figures In
movements that extend across the width of the hall they will dance
about among the moving lights and flowers. The music will be
bright and will play faster and faster until the dancers are troting
through the figures just al Japanese girls run through their dances.
The whole mass will form and reform in evoluhons and revolving
arrival of the mikado-the emperor. with the empress and the inn
perial retnue.
At this signal the dancing will cease. Respectfully the mikado's
subjects will draw back to form a long aisle for the royal pair to
proceed up to the throne. The Identity of their royal majesties will
have been a secret 1t will be a s closely guarded as is the name of
King Ak-SarBen himself, and no one will know until they turn to
face their loyal subjects who the mikado r his consort are to be.
While he seats himself beside the empress upon the throne the
retinue of pages, train bearers and courtiers will join the crowd
that is moving on the floor and the royal Tea Party will begin.
Real gesha girls, older than the children, Will enter to serve the
tea. They will be selected from the fairest OF the older subjects of
He king. and they. too. will be dressed in flowing kimonos and
sashes. The mikado and all of the crowd will take tea together,
and while they r seated the grand entertainment given by the
mikado for his people will begin.
The entertainment will be a long program Of ballets and figure
dances and fancy dances typifying all the nations of the world.
First will come in eighteenth century court costumes of the
English. Two sets of dancers OF eight each will 60 through the

a chance.
If the crowds are any larger in attendance at the children's BALI
than they were last year the Den cannot hold them. The,
free list will be suspended and every one who does not bring a son
or daughter to go upon the floor must purchase a ticket. There was
a great deal of difficulty last year in taking care Of all the fathers
and mothers and friends, and they will probable be more numerous
this year, so room for dhanterested spectators will be hard to find.
Joseph Barker, member Of the board Of governors and commit
teeman in charge, has turned the drilling of the dancers over to Mr..
Chambers, and the other arrangements to the women's committee.
Mrs. Paxton and her helpers will decorate the hall with the cherry
blossoms and flowers. The governors have made a large appropria-
ton to be spent on this feature of the carnival and every member is
helping it.
1t would be very difficult to say which gets the most enjoyment
ont of the affair, the performers o r their parents. The pride of
parents and the pride of the little folks unite to bring success. 1t
will be the most charming and delightful part of the Ak'sar-Ben
festivities.

against the Japanese in the tea garden and the spectators up above
with malicious intent and many will suffer at their hands.
A geisha dance, in which real Japanese steps will be performed
by little girls, will precede the grand finale. For this, as for the
first figures, the music will be Japanese. For all the other dances
as they are brought on the orchestras will play native tunes. The
Bohemian polka, the Polish mazurka and the Italian tarantela will
all be played in turn.
When the geisha girls have taken their stand beside the mikados
throne and all the other nations r ready, the American dancers
will come in for the ending of the program. The American dance
is a jig, and a lively one. The dancers will be in modern costume
and will carry American flags.
At a signal all the nations will come from their corners, carrying
their flags, and before the throne of the emperor the representatives
of the whole world will unite to do him homage and to fraterntze in
peace. The tea party will break up in another figure dance in honor
of the royal pair and all the guests will take part.

II OR thirteen years In the history of the land of
Quivera the good kings Ak-Sar-Ben, as they
followed one another on the throne, looked
after the welfare of the kingdom with faith
full care for all their grown-up subjects.
Balls and fetes and parades and festivities were
opened for the pleasure of good people, but the chill
dren. sons and daughters of the citizens, were always
left without attention from the kings until Ak-Sar-
Ben XIV came into power. He was the first sovereign
to provide for the children. The Cinderella Ball. at
which hundreds of tiny members of his Kingdom
danced and made merry, was the first fete for their
particular amusement.
His successor, Ak-Sar-Ben XIV, realizing the de-
light that such an event brings to the little ones and
the pleasure it's beauties bring to everyone mas de-
cided to give another similar ball, similar, but with
enough striking differences to make 1t as unique ana
original as the first one was.
The member of the board of governors who has
charge of the ~children's affair this year is Joseph
Barker, and a committee Of women managers has
been appointed, with Mrs. W. A. Paxton, jr., as chair
man. The other members Of the committee are Mrs.
L. L. Kountze, Mrs. Osgood Eastman, Mrs. Isaac Coles,
Mrs. Harry wilkins, Mrs. Arthur Remington and Mrs.
j. N. Cudahy. willard Chambers is the dancing mas
ter, who has charge of the rehearsals.
When It was decided to give another children's
ball for the carnival this fall the committee went to
Mr.. Chambers and asked his help again in organizing
the children. He suggested a Japanese Tea Party,
and a tea party was decided upon.
1t will be given at the Den on the afternoon Of Oc-
tober 8, the next day after the grand coronation ball.
Five hundred children will take part and at least 200
have already started to practice. In spectacular
