The secret is that they take good care
of themselves, they take plenty of sleep,
and the constant use of cosmetics or
makeup, through the constant massag-

FOOTWEAR AND GOWNS
For the ballroom 1 would advise girls
to wear medium high French heels. They
look so much better than low heels, and
after all we all try to look as pretty as
we can. High shoes are to be recon-
mended whenever it Is possible to wear
them. The support they give the ankles
is very beneficial, and 1 see no reason
why they should not be worn at after
noon teas.
Massage is a great thing for the legs
and ankles, and would advise girls to
use witchhazel or Alcohol. Personally L
always use witch Bazel Tight corsets
are undoubtedly Injurious. and all the
more so when the wearer wants to dance
thinllthe elastic gowns are great things
as there seems to be just enough pressure
to make one comfortable.
zone thing all dancers should learn and
that is to breathe properly. There is no
reason why dancing should make one out
of breath, that Is. as soon as we have
done enough of it. I would not go so
far as to say that the tango breath will
be the latest thing in the modern dancing
line
