.FROCKS FOR THE
GIRL WHO DANCES
Maude Hall Tells the Proper Gar
ments TO be Worn When
Doing the Tango.

| ihSHt ol uduCius. hS tango anu tut
turkey trot have been defended BY
so many high authorities on ar
and propriety. to say nothing OF
physical culture. that when prop
erly done they are considered idea
| diversions.
| OF course, dancing is like any
other amusement; it can be run tc
extremes. and it is the extremities
in all things that stimulate criti
| cism. II is no more necessary ID be
| suggestive in dancing the tango than
ii is TO gamble when playing cards
| the experts tell US. Hence society
has declared itself IN favor of dane
ing as the chief amusement of win
ter. If there has been no formal an
nonncement, this is not needed. one
has only to consult the social calen-

smart mind is toward
AS for fashion in connection with
| dancing they are most bewitching
Debutants are not going extensively
for the minaret or lampsh De frock,
but designs featured for their use
are inspired by the famous Poiret
models. Perhaps the newest effects
are a little more graceful and
dainty. The danger of the minaret
is that ii is apt to become oyerpOpu-
lar in spite of its distinguished
sponsor. 1t does not take the per-
lception of a prophet to see the day
when even outlining bands of ex-
pensive furs and other lux
urious trimming will fail to save
the mode. Therefore the girl who is
not able to afford several dancing
dresses should select 1t with eau
ton, and that 1t can be adapted tc
| future changes
Variety is given to chiffon and
| other soft materials by plaits. and
| draperies are used In combination
For instance a very smart bordered
chiffon has the skirt plated and the
bodice terminates in a tunic effect
below the waistline. This tunic is
caught up at the sides very daintily.
yet in a way reminiscent of the pic
lures of grandmother taken shortly
after her debut,
Certainly the arbiters of fashion
draw upon the modes of years gone
by for much of their inspiration.
Miniatures OF queens of fashion OF
the fourteenth and fifteenth centu-
ries are not nearly as quaint as they
once seemed. and familiarity with
the styles Of days gone by" in
creases our admiration for them.
The bodice of the frock in ques-
ton is, by the way, developed in
figured satin in pattern that car
ries out the idea of the border in
the chiffon. There is a darling lit
tie bib effect bustoning over the
lace vest trimmed with a row of
dainty buttons. There Is a fischu
effect over each shoulder and the
plain sleeves are finished with a
band of figured satin. The girdle
is of plain chiffon.
The neck is cut square, and the
lace vest is bound with a narrow
fold of satin.
Many novel ideas are evolved this
season in connection with drarks
not only for dancing but street
wear. A pretty novelty shows a
chiffon skirt worn with a SKIRT oil
charmeuse or some other soft satin,
The skirt may be draped plated or

Plated skirts are not limited to
