Grim Jest Pathetic.

that on the stroke of midnight tall,
red-gowned figure revealed itself amid
jewellers as Death by Plague.
A counterpart from real life is re-

the report of a masquerade ball, at

simulated Death, in black robe and
with hollow eye-sockets.
There were 40 dancers at the ball.
OF this number, 122 are now suffering
from influenza. Twelve are already
dead, including the death masker.
