-The title perhaps refers to Philippe II (1674-1723), Duke of Orléans, a powerful member of the French royal family.
+**The ORLEANS BAFFLED**\\
+house of Orleans and England and all
+Europe was involved in the War of Spanish
+Succession. Philippe, Duc d'Orleans (1674-1723), held
+military command in Spain in 1707 and 1708. In 1715 he
+became the powerful regent of France during the minority
+of Louis XV. A patron of the arts and of women, one of
+the Duke's most notable contributions to the welfare of
+Paris was to establish public balls at the Opera. This
+dance title may refer to him.\\
+The shuttling movement of the pousette is a graphic
+image of a "baffle" in the title, although the reference may
+have been to indecision or impotence of action.
