As the concert finished at 10 o'clock, we adjourned to the /.smaconas’ (minister of Mexico) first ball and, 1 hope for them, their only one. it was one of those soi rees where people appropriate the forks and spoons. It cost, they say, $ 10 , 000 . The assemblage was promiscuous, to say ths least. Every one who asked for an invitation got one and went. The minister had hired the house nezt the legation and cut doors into it so that there should be plenty o f room, hut even then there wss not sufficient space to contain the miscellaneous guests. There were two orchestras, but no ono wanted to dunce. Every one wandered about through the rooms or lolled in the grottoes, which were lighted with different colored lamps. In ¿very corner were fountains of cologne, around which the gen tler sex stood in crowds saturating their handkerchiefs, some of which had cross stitch initials in red thread. Mirrors were placed at the end o f each room to prolong the vista. “ Mexico” in enormous let ters formed by gas jets stood over the entrances.

Albino freaks of all kinds of heath and heather sre often found, especially among the ling or true heather—calluna vulgaris— and more frequently on the downs of Surrey and Sussex than in Scotland. The superstition that white heather brings luck to the wearer admits o f some rational explanation, because a successful searcher would probably possess diligence, perseverance, mental alertness ana other qualities.
