New York. June 22.-We are toll on

in question had for foundation glace
silk Of a blue shade of lavender. the
dress itself being of pervenche chiffon.
Upon this chiffon lace motifs of a Re

give the appearance of an entire over

Dancing and smoking In Burmab.

In one village where we stayed the
chief man arranged a dance In our hon.
or. Neither he nor we danced: that
would have robbed us and him of digni-
ty. He paid somebody else to dance in
stead. A troop of village girls. with
flowers stuck In their newly creased
hair. and wearing their prettiest pieces
of silk that serve as frocks, threw them
selves into all kinds of graceful and
other postures. What little skirt there
was was tight fitting and hampering in
movement. Yet the girls had a freer
swing of the body than Nautch girls,
and all the while they were twisting
themselves into fantastic attitudes. they
We're working their elbows and hands
and fingers twitchingly. The most

ing excitement.
First Of all, they We're seated. and after
lowering their heads as obeisance to us.
they commenced a song. Suddenly
jumping To their feet and drawing
handkerchiefs from their waists. they
began piroutting in the most demented
fashion. While the women We're state
ly in their gyrations, moving languidly.
the men thought the chief merit was to
work themselves To a pitch of frenzy
by throwing their legs about in a reck-
less manner. During the dancing every
body was smok1ng-men. women and
children. There were little rascals
who had to hold on with both hands
while they sucked at a cheroot a foot
long. We heard that ever infants at
the breast pun smoke.
