DANCING IN GYM SUITS.
It's New Society Fad for Women
Very Exclusive

Have you heard of society's latest
fad? It's fancy dancing-and sh-h-h-h.
its devotees wear gym suits, and these
they don before leaving their home.
OF course, anybody who knows any
thing about fancy dancing would be
familiar with the fact that firstly, all
garments must be loose; secondly. no
corsets. and thirdly, one must possess
lot of determination.
Oh, yes, its a lot of fun, and it's re-
ducinS and keeps one supple and all
that. But it takes work
But, to return to the corsetless gym
suits. Seven women have solved the
problem OF arriving at their destna-
ton thus attircd. They've been dane
ing for dear life for the past few
weeks. and when there's another Soci-
ETY. vaudeville or TIE kirmess or some
thing like that, there will be few
surprises along this line.
They attire themselves in their COM
! Portable short skirted gowns and then
wrap themselves up in long coats and
natty wells. Then they whiZZ away in
their motors-and the public isn't any
the wiser.
But, once inside the house, they
throw them aside and these seven
students look like slips of girls in
smart gymnasium or bathing suits.
It's all awfully eXclusive-and, of
course. there are no spectators al
lowed, and for fear some one too
curious might gain entree to the hall
where the dancing takes place, there's
doorkeeper, who keeps everything
carefully locked
But, there's no argument against it's
being an attractive array of young
wonderland it sounds so interesting
