ly to hold before their faces. The mask
of this kind was attached to a long
handle, and gave the fair one ample
opportunity for flirting
One of the most tragic of mask balls
occurred at the marriage of King
Charles VI of France in 1898. When
the feasting and frolicking was at It's
height, four young courtiers persuaded
the king TO disguise himself as a wild
man.
The king and his four courtiers COW
cred themselves with tar pitch and
feathers and the courtiers chained
themselves together They danced. into
the great hall and whirled about to the
wild Joy of the court. Suddenly one
of the men dancing near a lighted
candle, his sleeve caught fire, and in
an instant the pitch drenched gar
ments of the dancers were in flames
The king, who was not chained with
the rest, was saved, but the others were
burned to death before his very eyes
and the king became hopelessly insane.

splendor of it's masked balls since

But Cleo wasn't satisfied
When Marc was on the shelf;
She went and bought a littel snake
And then got stung herself
Then Pa got up and yawned. I have

The love of masquerading is of use

there are great balls every year in
Germany, the proceeds Of which go TO
good works.
These poor balls" as they are called,
are opened by the royal family or their

functions. The fun does not begin,
however, until the restraining pres

happens before midnight
At such balls all masks are supposed
to be taken off at the hour OF mid
night, and some very amusing things
happen when these DISCUSSES are with

sway over the dancers and few escape
the darts of the one or the mad esca-
