The gloomy prophets who declared
modern dancing no more than pass
ing fad which would be forgotten be
fore the first cool breezes OF this
autumn will have no chance to say, l
told you So" for if anything the love
Of dancing is increasing rather than
diminishing. In fact, this season IS
one of the most important in the
reign of terpsichore because It VIII
mark the standardizing OF the Hesita-
ton Waltz, the One-Step, the Maxixe
and the Tango and in consequence
dances will be main feature OF en-
pertaining during the winter.
Naturally, therefore, the question
Of fashions in dance frocks is OF para
.saount interest to all women. and it
NAV not come amiss if talk little
Of what to avoid as well as what to
select in the way of frocks and frills.
& In the first place remember that
your gown must lend itself to graceful
lines, and that it must fall attractive
II into each position you take, for the
most graceful and skilled OF dancers
cannot fail to look awkward in gown
that is stiff Or bunchy. while the pref

not be too tight, either, for they too

tory. since they fit well and never
slip down. And this, of course, brings
me to the question of footgesr. wo.
things are required of these one that
they should be absolutely comfort able
and the other that they must not ssllel
off.
Very flexible pumps with rubber
soles were worn a good deal this
summer for dancing, but these are
scarcely attractive enough for the
bali room, and the satin slippers with
their long vamps and tongues, ana

heel to prevent slipping if you want

the coming season. Of course, lace

there are also lightweight taHetas
as soft and supple as satin in PLAIN or

silks, nets and especially printed chit
fons will have a big vogue.
The newest of these materials have
in place of a figure an irregular stripe

PARIS lust at present. Small Egyptian
designs in odd figures in from three
to FIVE colors are also noted on some
of the silks and are intended Tor use
combined with phin fabrics since they
are too startling for an entire gown.
The vogue of the peacock teatner
IS also to Be noted In some of the new
chiffons and light silks while thin
crepes, especially the silk crepes and
some of the new taffetas have designs
whose colorings are taken from Ole

plated skirts are becoming quite the
vogue among dancers. nowadays. while
the new skirts of deep founce of soft
lace are equally attractive for dancing
since they too give the feet and ankles

the past months can be danced in, II
it has split or is short enough to

Satin Boomers.
Under these skirts many dancers
now wear satin boomers with deep
lace founces that come. to the ankle:
These have all the prettiness of pet
ticoat yet avoid any danger of wrap
ping about the legs or bunchiness, and
since satin boomers are now in vogue
for under the tailored suit, it is not to
be wondered at that with the addition
of lace they should form part OF the
evening costume.
For those who do not care for the
"lsnickers" there are, lovely plated
petticoats of crepe de. chine or chif-
fon with lace ruff1es and delicate en-
broideries that are exquisitely pretty
and charming for the dancer since
they swirl about in the different steps
and never take on harsh lines.

Even in the new frocks with their

room for one's feet and ankles. Need

Judas are made. generally in peasant clothes,
