One wan embarraa tie rkke with pretty tlrls; they were to right of one, to left, in front, behind. Look where one would bright eyes looked back again, cherry lips were F-mlllng, soft dimples were dimpling, silks rustling and laces nestling. There were girls In every style and condition ot full dress, and young matrons even more so. It was a 'convention of beauty, a bewildering; congress of black eyes and blue, blonde and brunettes, white shoulders, rosv cheeks, flower and fine dres-es. It Is regarded as a special and much-to-be-desired honor to the invited to dance with one of the Veiled Prophets, and accord I naly all the slrls competed for it after their special fashions. The very pretty ones stood up In their scats and displayed the utmost enthusiasm and Interest over the tacky costumes which went by In the march. Those con scious of a plump, round shoulder took a sort of a three-quaricr position, and reviewed the line at an angle ol forty-five degrees. And so It went on. The crowd was too close and thick for any comfort In dancing, but then nobody really wanted to dance nor to see any one else dancing. The spectators had come not to do or to see but to be ieen.
