THE BLUK DOMINO,

Tuvu’ disappointed, I gave up all hope of meeting her for whose sake I had ‘come to the ball. She was either not there, or did not wish to be recognized, even by me. The latter supposition was the more bitter of thetwo; and goaded | by it and one or two other uncongenial thoughts, I paid frequent visits to the ‘refreshment room,” where wine flowed ‘freely. A cup or two drove the one idea out of my mind ; and after a while,I grew wore compationable, and determined to enjoy myself like others around me. I had not dacced as yet, but the wine soon 'got to my toes as well as into my head ; and I resolved to put myself in motion | with the first partner that offered.

I soon found one—a blue domino— that came right in my way, as if the fates had determined we should dance

together. The lady was * not engaged As this is a positive mark down Sale, customers can for the next;” she would be “ most rely on getting rare bargains. happy.”

This, by the way, was said in French, which would have taken me by surprise, had I not known that there were many French people living in C——, as in all the large cities of Mexico. They are usually jewellers, dentists, milliners, or other artizans of that class, who drive a lucrative trade among the luxury- loving Mexicanas. To know there were French people in the place, was to be certain you would find them at the ball; and there were they, numbers of them, pirouetting about, and comporting themselves with the gay insouciance cha- racteristic of their nation. I was not surprised, then, when my blue domino addressed me in French.

There was a pleasing retundity about it, combined with a general symmetry of form and serpentine yieldiness of move- ment, that rendered dancing with such a partner both easy and delightful. My observation at the moment was, that if the face of the modiste bore any sort of proportion to her figure, she needed not have come so far from France to push her fortune.

~

With such a partner I could not other- wise than waltz well; and never better than upon that occasion. We were soon under the observation of the company, and became the cynosure of a circle, This I did not relish, and drawing my blue domino to one side, we waltzed towards a seat, into which I handed her
