PATHETIC SIGHT
BLIND MEN’S FESTIVITIES. LONDON, January 20. There was a. pathetic and beautiful sight in •London when the St. Dunstan’s men mot for tlieii 1 yearly gathering festivities. Part of the evening’s entertainment was a dance, and there in a gay hall were 200 blinded men, dancing. The master of ceremonies was blind; the orchestra was blind. No one would have thought these men had any such terrible affliction! they looked happy, and they danced with the greatest ease and skill, guiding their partners about in such a way that there was n 0 confusion, no bumping. IN/rhaps only thing that might have struck a stranger as unusual was the way the men quietly took their partners’s arm as tney crossed the floor after the dance.
