new or latest fashion-books one can readily
see how the old lady can say Il told you
so." The skirts have three or four bias ruff
hes, coming quite to the knees. the snoul'
ders OF the waists come well over on the
arm and puffs come more ABOVE the elbow
than below or on the shoulder. The
1ecollete party gowns are TO be made
with round necks. the upper part
of the shoulders being exposed. Of course
womankInd will take kindly to this
treme change in fashion just as they have
taken the succeeding styles of loose. then
skin tight, then loose garments. Short
coats. long coats. tight coats and caDes; big
hats, little hats. wells and no wells; health
and invalidism-no matter what IL is II
only set down as fashion. The ease and
grace with which these varieties are adopt
ed shows that it Is natural and not affected.
In an English paper there is q complaint
that En- glishmen do not dance any more,
and that the maids at parties who dearly
love to dance have no partners. Of course,
If it is English for men not to dance there
are loads of men who are not going to.
Whatever the English reason is for not
dancing, that is to be the anglomanIac's
for men TO dance in Indianapolis. Espe-
cislIy SO if the number of dancing
clubs. classes and parties any
criterion. A rev seasons since there
were but very few parties where there was
dancing. but in the last two seasons the
dance is the rule and not the exception.
The ProDyleum has probably been the
cause of the revival TO a considerable ex-
nou osn haa IN hp on
agreeable amusement or entertainment to
offer ones friends. and the floors IN any
part of the Propyl;eum are admirable for
dancing. Few private houses have ball
room OF hard wood floors in enough
rooms to accommodate q party of any
size. Canvas over the carpets is better
than no canvas, but even that Is heavy
and not very enjoyable. for 1t makes the
exercise too tlresome. so tne new building
has been quite in demand. and for the
great majority of social gatherings held
there dancing has been one of the leading
features Young people and hundreds who
are not young have danced more this
winter tL,,n ever before. and while the En-
glishmen are acting stupid and the girls are
making q perfect garden of wall flowers In
cIsnspolIs people are dancing and enjoying
II. too.
The Gray Club has made great prepare
irons for the fourth annual reception and
ball. which occurs on Thursday next, Jan.
q. and from present indications it will be
one of the most successful given by the
club. Ex-Governor G ray will probably
lead the grand march. Governor and Mrs
Matthews have promised TO be present, and
all of the State officials and mem bers of the
Legislature will be attendance. The
hall will be tastefully decorated. The
surrounding towns will be represented by
parties from Greenfield. Greencastle,
Charlottesville, Edinburg, Franklin, Terre
Hauto and Perm.
