The Cotillon.
Eight girls and boys should be dressed in Knickerbocker attire, and stand as if ready for the first figure of the Cotillon.
This tableau should be set in a drawing-room.
Flitting Fairies and Butterflies.
Gay music is heard and in come the fairies dancing, followed by a train of dancing butterflies, costumed in red, yellow, and white.
The wings may be of tinted crêpe paper or tarletan held in place by stiff wire.
The fairies should wear short fluffy gowns of airy gossamer, heavily covered with spangles and diamond dust. With each movement they must glimmer and glisten.
The scene may be set in any pretty drawing room, but more properly with a background of palms and potted plants.
