NEW POSITION IN THE WALTZ.
Dancing Teachers Have Decided al
IL Mnre Mnhern SIXIe.

Dancing Teachers Have Decided on
n More Modern style.
Soon 1t will be time for the dancins
schools to open. and many are the new
wrinkles to be introduced.
There is no longer any excuse for the
fierce Walter who seizes his partner
around the waist, squeezes her like &
football player making tackle and whlrls
her in a fierce embrace. The Dancing
Masters association at Its summer con-
vention ordained that hereafter.
/. The gentleman offers his left hand
to the lady and she places her right sand
In 1t.
2. The gentleman closes his left hand
firmly around the lady's right.
g. The lady curves her left arm and
rests the left hand above her partner &
right elbow.
4. The fingers OF the gentleman's RICH,
hand are clustered and merely touch he
partner at the waist line.
8. The walters now begin 20 revolgr
in time with the music, virtually holding
each other at arms length.
The dancing masters make no threats
as to the punishment they will Inlet upon
anyone caught violating this rule. A
bright young man from pugillstic train
ing camp suggested 10 the masters ".h y.
they appoint an official referee for overy
ball. cotillions hop, soiree german. prom
enade, spiel or any kind OF dance what
ever. This referee Is TO warn ha2ge"s for
a hrst offense and II the hugglrg Is pew
sisted in he shall tlp the offending man on
the shoulder, break the clnch w force
II necessary, and order him back 10 his
corner"
The dancing masters declared tn. they
would rely solely upon moral suaslon.

PRETTY OUTING GOWNS.
So Neat and WeIIFtng Are These Dresses that Women
of Fashion Are Wearing Them in the Streets.

the skirt and tunic are not opp ess,ve.
~
There Is very new outing jacket. II
IS the English box holero. It is made
perfectly straight front and back and ia
in box plaits. Three box plaits are laii ID
front, and three in tine back. The opca-
ing is at the left side, where 1t is con-
cealed under the box plat and finished ct
the shoulder By a choux OF satin ribbon.
This Jacket is highly recommended to
slender figures and is becoming to stou-
ones, as 1t is cut OFF at the waist line.
For cycling there is an effort u revive
the English kilt. where one side l. at
is laid upon the other, plslt af.sr ,ait,
until the whole skirt is killed. The more
kilt. which is laid in small box pldits all
around the skirt, with no attempt at tho
side plait.
Another skirt that Is struggling for
recognition is the shirred skirt, with close
stirring upon the hips and a plated
back.
me time has arrived when every w.
man desires an outing dress. rhe aged
duchess of Rochf0ucauld ordered one the
other day, and the young Countess Dc
Castellane that same day gave her order
fJr one, thus showing that young AMI old
folks so outing.
The outing dress as now cons.suct3l IS,
however, quite different from that Of othvr
days. 1t is much less conspicuous. In
fact. it Is built upon almost )recse'y the
