.one hundred times to a woman's seven

coming was convicted one hundred times
4 to woman's eleven; in France women
are summoned before the tribunals four

Europe, women are five times less guilty

The walk of Spanish women has a
worldwide fame one meets a Venus or
Callipygus at every corner, and it is to
initiate what in them is real and beauti-
full that the women of other nations have
introduced the hideous mimicry of the
''bustle." The Bale Sevillanas with all
its differences, has very definite resem-
biance to Arab dances.
1t begins with a gentle, swaying move
ment in time to the regular clack, clack
OF castanets. Now the women face one
another, now they glide to and fro, chang
ing places, as in a movement of the
lancers. The Swaytng movement Of the
hips becomes more pronounced the body
moves in a sort of circle upon itself
And then they cross and recross, ac-
centUating the ryhthm with stamp of
the heels. Their arms wave and dip,
curving with the curves of the body. The
dance grows more exciting, with a sort
of 1ascivious suggestiveness, a morbid,
perverse charm, as the women writhe to
and fro, now languishing, now furiously,
together and apart. It ends with q fran
tic, reimbursement of the hips, a stamp
of the heels and at last clang of the cas-
tanets as the arms grow rigid In the
sudden immobility OF the body.

Round OF Pleasure in
Social Circles.

The post-Lenten social season, which is
as fully as gay here In st. Paul as the
winter season, was fittingly ushered in
last evening by the bachelors ball, one
OF the most successful affairs ever given
in st. Paul society. Cambridge hall, the
place selected for the ball, was In gala
dress last night. Green and white were
the colOrs chosen for the decorations, and
most artistic scheme was successfully
carried out in the ball room. The musi-
clans balcony was almost entirely con-
cealed by curtains of smilax and tall
palms. Here and there the green was
starred with a white flower, and at either
end of the balcony there was fastened
an immense cluster OF white blossoms.
Arches and windows were wreathed with
smilax, and large palms placed here and
there about the ballroom produced a
dainty and cool effect

Yes, one or two of the imported evening

1t Is very lovely and graceful, especiallp

himself the trouble Of thinking out these

admirable, why doesn't he put in a bit OF
his valuable time conjuring up puffed
