It was quite impossible for those of terpsichorean turn to "trip the light fantastic" in the narrow con fines of the sheath skirt.
 This popular mode of dress will not be abandoned. says C. Angeleno. a Parisian authority. but the startling statement made is this: During the last. decade from the fashionable whirling waitz. the 'fwO-Step' made it's appearance. and 1t looked for sey- eTaI years as if it had come to stag so popular was the dance Of tho long smooth step or stride. that the stat Her dances were crowder out But everything has an end. and the waltz and two-step have at last palled on society terpsichoreans and with the Directoire gown and sheath skirt will come again the revival of the stately -ninuet. the Virginia reel, CO., Itillion and graceful gliding German figures" ...4-li
 The much discussed barn-dance ls at present the society rage. in tlie leading European and Ame fican cities. The nature' of this new and fascinating dance is that of the state ly square dance or cotiilion. which recalls the Revolutionary days vita powdered puff and velvet knee trousers. bows and buckles.
 With the revival of the Colonial style of dances there will cease the want of the well known syncopated time which is used now almost uni yersally in the livelier turn and swing of the waltz and twO-step. The change Is coming slowly but surely, and with il will bring more grace. refinement and ease in dancing.
