THE (ilLLES OF BINCHE.
fhelr Carnival the qualnteat at Bel.
(tan Mrdlaeval Caatoma.
The iHrlsteut maimer In which Bel
giuns cling to their wtllaoval festivals
and traditions is a characteristic na
tional trait well known to those famil
iar with Uie Flemish and Walloon
province. The survival of such popu
lar fetea as that of the carnival pro
cession of the dauclng Utiles at Dlnche
attests the Innate love of Belglana for
these picturesque vestiges of their fore
fathers' clviltMtton.
The festival of the dancing GUlca of
Rlnche is In many respects the quaint
est of these popular customs. This fes
tival takes place on Mardl Qras at the
BIncbe, a town of Halnnut The car
nival of Blnche has always been held
in high repute by Belgians, but with
out Its Gtlles it would not be substan
tially dlfferent'froui that of Rome, Nice
and other towns.
These Gtlles. or dancing men, who
form the glory of the Blnche carnival,
are characterised by their headdresses
and humps. The headdress is most
elaborate and striking. In shape It re
sembles the old time top hat of our
great-grandfathers. The hat Is sur
mounted with magnificent ostrich feath
ers from three to four feet In length,
which give to the wearers the appear
ance of giants. From each hat, be
sides, fiovr several wide, variegated rib
bons, while the Gtlles' trousers are be
decked with trimmings of real lace and
ribbons to match those of the hat Ev
ery Gtlle -wears a mask and a silk belt
from which bang small bells.
The entire G tile's outfit costs from
$40 ti ?30, a larse sum for the peasant
youths, generally selected by the car
nival committee to fill the part of ac
tors In the Mardl Gras festivities. The
honor of being a Gille is so great, how
ever, among the gay Lotharios of
Blnche and carries such prestige with
the local damsels that the young men
chosen by the committee are only too
pleased to make the financial sacrifice
demanded of theni.
In the afternoon of Mardt Gras the
Gllles, in full uniform, 200 strong, pre
ceded by the local brass bands and
musical clubs, appear in procession and
march toward the Grande place. The
sight thus offered is unique in the an
nals of carnival rejoicings. The GUles
proceed by dancing to the tune of the
band just mentioned. At every few
steps they stop, bend and unbend, to
heighten the effect of the ringing from
the bells woru at their belts. Thelt
streamers Coat to and fro and envelop
theui in a rainbow of ribbon. At tho
same time the simultaneous ringing of
bells and thumping of wooden sabots
on the cobblestones sound HkJ&he 6000
of a cavalry charge.
The Gilles have each a straw basket
hanging to one side from the belt and
filled with oranges. With these they
bombard the spectators as they dance
along. As soon as emptied the bas
kets are filled again by men from be
hind, appointed for this duty. A gen
eral battle of oranges then takes place
between tbe Gllles 'and the carnival
merrymakers. Finally the procession
reaches the town hall, in front of
which, seved on a platform. Is the
mayar, surraunded by the municipal
officials. The Gllles then terminate the
day's festivities by a genera! war
dame, glvln.; a prolonged exhibition of
their capabilities. The public likewise
Jlcs la t!;e fun, and soon some 5.0'):
persons, men. women and children, ihhj
be seen gajly waltzlnj around tl:i'
Grande place. The sight of an cut::,
population dressed in carnival costii::i
acd masted di-m-ing In the open nlr
the music of t;ie Gllles brass ban-', i
one not eas'.ly rcrgolten. The dancing
continues until the late evening, wlirv
the sport Is bnught to an end by th'
mayor, who formally awards a goll
meiial to the Gllle who has proved him
c;f the most e?. pert dancer.-
