 all, there was no rush from the house. Of course, sophisticated Paris has had no moral uprising against anything worn. by the ballet or not worn by it, in modern times. The present discussion is purely aesthetic. The new ballet master at the
 opera is a Russian who detests the con ventional. The beauty of flowing robes worn by graceful dancers has been well illustrated in Russian ballet. Naturally, however, the authorities at the opera protest against change. The lamp shade
 skirt, which makes the whirling dancer
 resemble a teetotum top, has been long established. The opera, however, has
 abandoned revered conventions which 1t
 might better have cherished than the traditional ballet skirt The attempt to introduce realism in some of the cas-
 sical master works of the operatic stage
 has not been inspirting. The lamp-shade
 skirt will probably be retired, tempo

Flowers for Father

This true incident, which at the time was printed in the Madison (Wis.) news papers, is worth retelling.
 President Roosevelt was holding re- ception in the office of Governor LaFol- lette at Madison.
 Two little girls edged their way through the crowd. Although not as well dressed as some of the other girls, their raiment was neat and clean. Governor LaFollette noted the presence of the children and asked them if they wanted to meet the President.
 Abashed because of the attention paid them. the girls shrank back, but the gov ernor pressed them. Finalliy the elder one said to the governor: we don't want that, but we would like something else" What you'd you like?" kindly inquired | the governor.

Skirts of the Ballet

From the New York Times.
 It is amusing to read about dispute in Paris over proposed lengthening of the skirts of the ballet. Years ago this might have been considered moral question. Only, eighty-five years have fled since the women of New Yorks best social circles rose as one, and vacated the boxes of the fashionable Bowery theatre, when a French dancer appeared in what the Paris correspondent of the Times aptly calls the lamp shade" skirt. F'rocks to the ankles had been worn by the few competent stage dancers New Workers had seen before 1926. But they soon got over their horror, and the short ballet skirt was tolerated. Forty years later when the comedy ballerinas of "The Black Crook appeared in no skirts at

tract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the
