GIRLS PAINTED GREEN
Bathing in Fountain Three policemen making their nightly round in the Paris Exhibition grounds recently discovered four girls, painted a vivid green, bathing in one of the fountain basins and frantically scrubbing themselves. At the police station the girls — still green — toid their story. They said they had arrived from their Alsatian village in answer to an advertisement for rural dancers. They were interviewed in one of the exhibition bootlis by a man who engaged them on the spot. He gave them a pob of paint, saying they would have to "dance the green part" in a colour ballet. Then the man left them to their make-up. For hours they awaited further instructions, but the "ballet-master" did not return.
