A portion of Suffolks society to-
night set its real seal of approval on
mems shirt waists. At a hop in Ar

and pretty young women accepted
them as dance partners. One young
man told me he had danced with near
ly every girl In the hall, and they had
submitted TO the terpsichorean en-
brace of coatless sleeves.

approve of the shirt waists. One of
them stated emphatically that she
