potentiality of gracefulness An skirt
dancers have not been graceful, and such
as have not have not met with success.
This seems 10 show that grace IN this
dance depends chiefly upon the costume,
which Is so arranged that the leg cannot
possibly be exposed above the knee
There are great number Of white UNI
derskirts which fly around pleasantly
when the dancer kicks up. The steps
are simple aud consist chiefly IN kicking
the foot 80 that the toe shall point
backward behind the head. This can be
done gracefully The hands are in the
meantime employed TO manipulate the
outer skirt which Is generally Of a black
material The skirt dance Is especially
pleasing when taken part in by a NUM-
