Fables for the Fair
The Rival wore Silver Brocade with Turquoise Chiffon. She had an Aigrette in her Hair and carried a Bouquet of Orchids. Her first Song was Elsa's Dream from "Lohengrin," in German, and was Wildly Applauded, everyone Wishing to Show that he Understood it Perfectly. As an Encore she sang a French Selection. Being Urged to sing a Third time, she gave a Spanish Toreador Song, which was Deeply Appreciated.
The Country Paper the Next Day Described her Costume as Extremely Tasteful and Remarked that it was a Real Pleasure to hear Old Favorites Rendered with Such Spirit.
This teaches us that When in Rome we should Do as the Romans Don't.
