her the•trfbute of loud applause ; others, the

and the singer stood mute and hushed, a rain
of - flowers - and jeweleTell rillier feet.

lOrgnette from a proscenium box to the stage,
and the • tall, elegant twin who stead at her
'side, now idly trifling with the lady's fan, now
bending his eyes with strange •earnestness on
the singer. When the curtain fell slowly, and
