Worthy Panacea and the Great French Ball Crisis
In France during a period of commercial distress M Worth the famed milliner told a parliamentary committee that higher salaries for the president and ministers would fund more balls and boost fashion trade. He argued more balls, fewer guests per event, and generous salaries would revive circulation and marriageable merriment. The piece then shifts to a historical note about the spontoon weapon used by British infantry until 1786 and its depiction in old prints and plays.
