The Tissue Paper Ball.
The ladies of the Civic Leag1e are
meeting with great success in their
most laudable undertaking, the Tissue
Paper ball, the proceeds of which will
be used for civic purposes.
The full complement of dancers,
boys and girls, has been made up, and
the tuition of Prof. Morris is quickly
developing the grace and skill of the
girls and boys.
Prof. Morris is much qualified and
fills his position as instructor, having
been at one time one Of the "Old Red
Mill" company, and being himself a
graceful dancer.
Prof. Morris will participate in The
Reilly, and on former occasions when
giving this dance has proven one of
the strongest attractions.
The Dutch dance, with its strongly
emphasized time, marked by the
wooden shoes worn, will prove very
attractive with the picturesque cos
tuning and color combinations. This
dance resembles the ever popular
clog, the wooden shoes" taking the
place of the clog usually worn.
The Butterflies and Barn dance
also, are progressing rapidly and their
number has been completed
The costumiug is being done in Al
lanta, and the modiste employed in
this is the same who made the cos
tunes of The Reilly such a pleasing
feature of the Atlanta ball The
crepe paper used in the costuming is
both graceful in results and exquisite
IN color tones. The completed frocks
compare well with those of costly cos.
tunes and are inexpensive compare
lively.
Rrent's hall has been engaged for
trn entire period Of rehearsal and the
r0Nearsals are daily, being $3.50 p. m.

taraies, and 1880 for The Reilly.

third act. The Manhattan company OF
nearly fifty people supports Mrs. Fiske
and both company and production are
exactly as during the very successful
New York run of the play last season,
except that the production is entirely
new. This is matter worthy of
recognition in these days of shortened
casts and curtailed productions for the
road tours of successful New York Of

American stage as she does to Amer

stiff for fear you'll see it," was the
laughing reply.
Scared stiff, is he?" said Mr.. Stew
art, with a twinkle in his eye. "Just
sent him to me. will you?"
A little later a slim youth entered
Mr.. Stewards private Office and said
he understood he had been sent for.
"Yes," said Mr.. Stewart gravely and,
holding up the sketch asked. did you
do this?"
The lad grew pale and stammered:
II beg your pardon. sir; it was only
a bit of fun. 1 meant no offense."
''That's all very well, but you'll have
to give up your job here.'
The youth humbly protested when
MI. Stewart burst out laughing and
said: Don't say any more, my boy.
I'm only joking. Your sketch is excel
lent, and as it would be a sin to keep
a man of your artistic talent behind a
linen counter I propose to supply you
with the means to study art"
Mr.. Stewards proposition was CRATE
fully accepted, and it was thus that
John r. Rogers, the sculptor, began his
artistic career.-New York Press
