PARIS. April 1. 1914
vt is difficult to write of. or from
Paris without bringing up the subject
of the tango. or the group of dances
which. TO the mind of the layman, go
under that generic term
The American is probably the most
ignorant of the real meaning of the tango
and probably dances 1t worse than any
one else But he or she. dances every
thing else SO well that the absence of
grace In the dance which calls for most
grace. is easily forgiven. Probably the
reason the European does the tango with
such consumnate skill is because She
likes it. The American does not. and
there is little use trying to instill it into
the race.
Here they tell US the tango IS dead.
Possibly. But. having digested this piece
OF information thoroughly from varied
sources, and having a curious mind which
likes Information at first hand. this YER
dict is overturned in one week spent at
the places where people dance.
:.
One goes to these spots for clothes as
is new, what Is smart. and only there can
one arrive at that serene state of mind
where comparison aids the judgment To
see gowns continually on mannequins. as
some Americans do. is to lose a sense of
proportion. 1t is like seeing moving pic
lures all the time instead of living peo-
pie in drama
All that one knows. through this proc
ess. is the commercial aspect and value of
fashions. The application of these clothes
to the people for whom they are intended
gives their true value; no other process
does. But to be really we'll informed one
must be familiar with both processes; the
fashions as they are exploited by those
who created them for their own benefit.
and the clothes as they are worn by the
purchaser. II is an interesting study to
the onlooker. And at the places where
one dances this lesson is Well taught.
There are shrewd buyers from America
who frequent the social spots of Europe,
and especially of Paris. even more than
they do the dressmaking houses. and
these never fail to bring to America the
better class of styles. for they are able
TO Judge with discrimination between the
models shown by the French houses.
All of which land 1t is fascinating
and far-reaching subject which has a
most important bearing on the Ameri-
can woman has to do with the fashions
in connection with the tango. For it is
the TANGO at present although tomorrow
it will possibly be the maxixe, never the
foolish furlana.
As yet the attractive slow waltz which
the Duclos couple do in Monte Carlo is
not popular, although every one is trying
to learn It: and our equally lovely hesita-
tion waltz invented by Maurice, with its
clever interpolated twinkle step. is rarely

burdened with much luggage and many
kinds of gowns

One of the best models like this comes
from the house OF Callot The color is
bit too difficult to describe: the best
one can say of it is that both gray-blue
and mauve are dyed into its threads.
True, a far more vivid blue than this is
the fashion. but this shade is the most
becoming to the majority of women,
therefore it will be popular. All blue
is so fashionable this spring that one
will get away from it; not that any one
wishes to avoid it, for it is the most
welcome color the designers can bring
into fashion.

Americans do; let it be whispered that our
much vaunted simplicity raises smile to
her eyes. She is too polite to let it reach
her lips. She will permit you to extract
the comment from her. if she is sure it
will not offend. that the great bulk of
Americans are either dowdy or over

American is the one whose law is Paris.
The American who resents this state

judged by its cosmopolitan minority.

propriety for afternoon Usage.
At all the places where one sees dane
ing, afternoon and evening, one sees only
short skirts. Sharp-pointed trains are
on dinner gowns. but few women want
them. Many ornate black lace and satin

Whether or not it is the craze for dane
ing that brought about the desire for
the short skirt, one is not sure. But
what would one do with long skirt in
these days of indiscriminate and persist
ent dancing?
In all evening skirts there is a growing
inclination toward the drapery that is
caught in between the ankles. This is a
part of the dominance oil the orient which
we have by no means shaken off.
