PILAR NARANJO
In one of the dullest towns of France, I sat with a Parisian at a variety show.
A Frenchman, with a very grubby shirt-front, presented to the audience "Señorita Pilar Naranjo, the famous dancer of Madrid." My companion started dramatically, and whispered, "I pray you to pardon me—I shall adjourn to the bar till she has done."
Of course, I followed him. "What's the matter?"
"Do not ask me to watch her!"
"Why?"
"I could not support it."
"She is so bad as all that?"
"Bad? She is entrancing."
"Oh! Did you see her when you were in Spain?"
