LONDON TAKES TO DANCING.

LONDON TAKES TO DANCING.
The sudden revival OF stage dane
ing in England has been accompanied
quite naturally by renewed interest
in the festivities of the ballroom in
the present London season. For sew
eral years the youth and beauty OF
the British capital had shown
strange lack of interest with regard
to the waltz, the merry two-step or
the more dignified lanciers. To the
dismay of British matrons, gilded
young men who attended balls were
more often to be found in the smo-
king room than on the dancing floor.
A subtle change, however, began to
come in when the first Merry
Widow vogue appeared, and since
that time enthusiasm for the society
dance has grown apace. Balls that
formerly were dreary series of dull
waltzes, with nothing to act as con-
trast, have been transformed into
fairylands of new figures and fancy
dances. The number of cotilion fig
ares introduced in a ball recently
given by Mrs. Whitelaw Reid was not
even surpassed by the striking eff
fects obtained at the ''rout' of the
Duchess of Marlborough. At the lat
ter affair in one of the figures the
and the men wore nurses aprons, the
effect being unusually comical.-

GLOVES NOT WORN.


Echoes of the American women S
crusade against an increased duty on
gloves are prompted by the following
remarks in an English 'laNes' col
umn:"
I'm London it is noticeable how
many important brides have dis
pensed with gloves at their weddings,
including Lady Brooke and Lady
Rosemary Cairns At the theatre
quite a number of ladies do not wear
gloves, while others effect great saw
ing in their cleaning and glove bills
by simply carrying them with their
fans and gold purses.
.Such fashion gives an excellent
opportunity for the display of a love
ly hand and just few beautiful rings
chosen with discrimination. Few
women, for instance. can wear
large solitaire diamond ring, which
requires as a background the whitest
of dimpled hands. Antique old Ven
etian and marquise rings look best on
thin hands with bony fingers, the
sunken places below the enlarged
knuckles requiring to be filled out
with rings of snowy type"

from a driving rain TO snow and
