ROME. - A symposium on mems

clarations from we'll known painters
and writer's as TO what should con-
stitute the regulation attire for the
male sex in future
Out of a thousand answers receiv-
ed no fewer than $40 decided for a
radical change in mems fashions.
Leonardo Bazzaro. the artist would
like TO see the number of buttons re
duced, the high, stiff collar done
away with and the soft hat adopted.
Alfredo Melani is an enemy TO the
prevailing fashion because it is color
less and without folds. Color, he
says gives men animation and en-
ergy
Ugo Fleres. the writer, is in favor
OF trousers being dispensed with on
the ground that this garment is an
enemy TO sculpture.
Angelo Dali 'Oca Bronca. who
writes as we'll as paints. considers
that the garments worn by men to-
day, though hypocritical, are comfort
able and necessary in order to con
ceal their misshapen legs, their stom-

LONDON SOCIETY DANCES
NOW IN EMPTY HOUSES

LONDON. A new society fash
is bringing joy to the hearts of the
house agent of London. The empty
houses in the West End are being
hired for dances.
All the fashionable balls used to
be given at one of the leading
hotels. and as consequence the
guests would probably be dancing
in the same ballroom two or three
nights in succession.
This naturally palled, and enter
prsing hostesses racked their brains
to discover a solution.
They did not care to utilize their
own houses-this always means turn
ing the house upside down. and in
any case there is nasty crush-and
so after due thought some one had
the bright idea of hiring an empty
house for the night, decorating it.
and inviting her guests to dance
there
The idea instantly caught on. and
many Well-knOwn hostesses are now
sending out invitations for dances
at one or the other of the great
empty houses in the West End.
The hire of an empty house for a
single night ranges from $500 up
