are very much fitted up at one side.
The second sketch shows another Wis
iting gown worn at this tea. Here you
have the latest and most popular ligne.
1t Is extremely natural and graceful:
the figure is slightly thrown forward
below the waist but not at all in an
extreme manner. This Is the outline
favored by the most eclectic Parisiennee
and II is as much appreciated by ar
lists as by women of fashion
The very broad sash shown in this
sketch is a novel feature OF the winter
season. These sashes are clcverly
wound round the waist and hips, not
drawn quite tight. but sufficiently
clinging to display the line of bust and
hips. In many cases they are tied In -
Japanese bow just below the waist. tho
ends being then wound round the lower
limbs. but the more effective are ar
ranged as indicated in my drawing. The
waist and hips are moulded by the sash
and then the ends are tied in IA loose

and she can't understand why people don {

The engaged girl is always the poorest

on theatres or concerts and she only
buys as few clothes as possible she

penny more money than she can possibly
help.
Other people pity her and are sorry
that she and generally he deny them
selves the lit IL luxuries of life But they
do not need any pity: they thoroughly
enjoy being misers One of life's great est
delights is saving up. and the engaged
girl acutely realizes that saving up for a
nest of her own is far greater pleasure
than first nights or boxes of chocolates

Gle which recently appeared in
THE SuN relative to SENS new

The caricaturist is liable to strain the
spirit of exaGgeration to the breaking
point, but SENS caricatures. even the
most outrageous of them, always
spring from foundation of fact. and
never has this witty artist displayed
more observation than in his sketches
Of tangomaniacs.
This business of new and eccentric
dances is becoming public nuisance in
Paris, and tho end is not vet. Men and
women of all weights and ages are be-
coming victims of this. mania. Many
people are rapidly losing any sense of
fitness that may have originally he
Iongcd to them. Many of the dances of
the present day. especially those given
at the big hotels. are little better than
orgies. Every one is prancng and
ducking and swaying in a ridiculous
manner, which surely must make the
angels weep.
But no. not every one. Some cX-
elusive Parisiennes have started cam
paign against eccentric dances unless
executed by persons who have taken
tho trouble to learn the steps thor
ouShly and who have IA natural taste
for dancing. Added to this one prom-
nent Partisan hostess has had the cour-
age to put an age limit on the tango
dancers in her beautiful ballroom.
OF course this step has been taken in
a half mocking spirit and the guests
are not obliged to display certificates OF
birth, but the hostess in question has
clearly stated that she finds the tang,
