How the Ballet Affected Him.

While things were humming In the ballet-room of the Metropolitan Opera House one day last week a section of the ballet *was called to the fore to re-* hearse an “Indian” ballet. There was nothing In the girls’ costumes to indicate the character of the dance, but as they came whooping and gyrating down the stage in front of Albertieri with their tin tomahawks some one looking on remarked: “What? You got a Carrie Nation ballet?” "No,” said Albertieri wearily. "Eet eez not zo bad as zat. Eeet eez only Indians.’’—New York Times.
