 Anything bizarre or daring vents everything else to be in keeping-and ill perfection.
 That is precisely why 1 arranged cultures of deeply purple and blue hair to crown my most daringly colored and designed tango dresses and Oriental tea gowns and boudoir robes. And you will have realized that frequent imitation and adoption are paying the proverbially most sin cere form of flattery to my innova- tion.
 Also, have you realized that not only are we going back to the past as regards our figures, but that we are making simultaneous return to an older age in our passion for beads? Personally, I have no great affection for these particular adorn- ments, but the fact still remains that they are being used in their myriads just now--looped over otherwise bare arms, festooned on corsage ren- dered as nearly as possible invisible by its making in semi-transparencie of flesh colored fabrics, fringed on tunics and even arranged in entwined and encircling festoons at the hem Of skirt!

partners left, and both faces are turned in the direction of their ex- tended arms. The step is the same as is used in the tango, only in the polka it is much faster. Always lead with the outside foot. Then take one step forward with the inside foot. Follow quickly with right and sud denly draw the inside foot to the right heel with a little stamp.
 The count is four, and may be illustrated thus: 1, 2, 3, 4-molinette. Repeat four times.
 Figure S-The stamp.
 This figure is easy and very ef- fective. It begins immediately fol- lowing the molinette of the preceding figure, which must not be forgotten.

 Figure 1.-The Taoist.
 Begin with two repeats of the "course." Now comes the polka twist, which is the most amusing feature of the dance and lots of fun. Both cross with outside foot and balance on inside foot. Each partner throws weight from the inside to the outside foot and crosses with the in- side foot. Now begin the full turn the lady turning one way and her partner the other, so that they end the turn back to back. At the com

affair I have seen mole-ehaded fox skin laid along one side, the head peering out above the short pointed scarf end and the brush be- ing permitted to dangle at the back, while the fitness of the other and very wide and lengthy end of the moleskin is eventually drawn into huge silken tassel What is this but a memory of barbaric ages?
 Then there are shawls of fur--yes, veritable deeply pointed and some what voluminous shawls-with tas- sel or two for their finishing, but these take clever woman to arrange them in just exactly the right way, else they might easily be disigur- ingly dowdy instead of piquantly pie turesque. And here again is the old re-youthified.
 But, indeed, this brings me back to my original contention and invari- able warning-which is that unless woman has the knack of putting pn her clothes and wearing them lrfght, and, moreover, unless she be so well provided with clothes-and sash-that every little detail of her

This step is useful when a ballroom is crowded, as you can repeat 1t as often as you like and walk in any direction you please. Complete the figure with the molinette.

tango, one-step or turkey trot." It seems ridiculous to have to say that you cannot tango to ragtime music, and it will be ridiculous to attempt to dance the Argentine polka, with its novel and finished details, to the music provided for the plain, old fashioned polka.

pletion of the turn, molinette.
 This figure should be practised thoroughly-it is worth 1t. When you can go through it in an easy and sprightly manner, with an effect of spontaneity and huge enjoyment, you will have the spirit of the whole dance. And it will be only less en- joyable to spectators than to yourself and your partner.

dancing. Compare the description of each figure in the dance with the photograph which illustrates its most characteristic pose and you will get the idea.

 Partners assume the regular danc- ing position. Take four or five polka steps and molinette. Molinette means to keen turning around on one spot.

and toe up, as in illustration. Slide the inside foot forward with stamp, at the same time tapping with the toe of the outside foot. Keep this up until ready to molinette for the finish always going forward.
 This completes the dance. You can repeat the steps as you please In fact, for the American tempera- ment, I consider this dance of the Argentines more satisfactory than their tango.

 People say we are
 "going back to the old fashions" when this
 happens. But this is ~, not true. Rather we
 are bringing the old NH fashions forward, reju-
 venating them, breath
 ing once more the
 breath of our life into ~their faded loveliness. To my mind, when such a thing happens, we are in one of the two most interesting phases of fashion. One paramount phase is the creation of an entirely new and original fashion-one which will make it's impress upon that age, interprets and standardizes it. The next paramount phase-and one that requires just as much art-is this breathing of life into fashions which are separated from us by years.
 And this is what we are now ap- proaching-indeed, are actually in.
 There is another odd phase of the trend in the furs.
 To be absolutely up to date, you will not only have a complete fox or leopard skin stole to fling about your shoulders and swirl round your hips in the most approved barbaric fash ion, but also you must manage to se- cure some weirdly and vaguely shaped wrap of softest moleskin, which you can swathe al # your

In this latter position, however, I foresee distinct danger, alike to the beads themselves and to their wear CTS, to say nothing of any unhappy partner in the dance. Don't you? And so I need hardly, perhaps, warn you to keep your beads to your bodice or, at any rate, to your skirt tunic, and to leave the lower part of your skirt free from any such dangling and dangerous additions and adorn- ments.

tO WHicu oui One or Lnt hearts respond. Old Hats WI friends, old songs, old Memor wines - old fashions.
 You perceive in these old fashions the thought, the dream that was in them. The lovely women, perhaps now dust, who were clothed in them have bequeathed "a part of their loveliness to these things of silks and satins and laces.
 This memory that is left behind stirs within us fugitive, subtle but real admiration. Grandmother's dress appears quaint and charming, not because it is in itself altogether quaint and charming, but because in relation to the woman it clothed it was very quaint and charming.
 This feeling is a universal one. Carried to a conclusion it makes fixed fashions, fashions which have endured for centuries-like the cos tune of the Bretons, the Basques, of the Russian peasants. Used esthetically and in moderation it sometimes colors all the fashions of the season. Such is the case now.
 Every once in a while the mind a>lls back to these old fashions and taking them, turns them into new fashions. It seizes the essential charm, it crystalizes the memories of the dear, passed women who have worn them, and it materializes all into a touch here, line there which weds the ultra-modern 70 the very old-like a gown of the moment that exhales faint scent of old lavender.
