FASHIONABLE FRocKs FOR THE DANCE.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW YORK, January 19.-There is
not as much difference between the
costume of professional dancer and
an amateur one as the purists would
like to see. The evening bodices
which so many of the professionals
wear, have been taken up in society,
and it is quite possible that they are
bit too sketchy for propriety.
One has been able to say that of
many kinds of costumes in the last
four years. There is something about
the girdle bodice that turns one criti-
cal. Possibly the criticism is due to
the fact that so much is demanded
by such a corsase; it requires not
only perfect shoulders and arms and
q good line down the spine from the
growth of the hair. but it also de-
mands certain type of face.
I have seen cases of girls wearing
such costumes, whose faces should
have been surrounded by Quaker garbs.

Variety in Sleeves.

Even with the great bulk and full
ness of skirts sometimes there is in
creased fullness to the sleeves, but
usually the simpler effects are used. II
there is fullnesS in the sleeve, it is at
the elbow, the general tendency being
to keep the shoulders fiat. While
sleeves are usually long, there is also
d tendency to use the very short
sleeves, which belong to the period
when full skirts were in vogue.

The Reed at the hips.

The Spanish fsrthiDgals is nothing
more or less than reed placed in the
skirt at the line of the hips; it is the
successor to the hoop in the hem of the
skirt. The latter idea was introduced
about year ago and has had more or
less success. However, it was never
considered attractive and was only ac-
cepted because it was fashionable. 1t
was done to exaggerate the import
ance of the incoming wide skirt. which
had to be exaggerated in order to pre-
sent sharp contrast to the hobble
skirt which it ousted.
The sketch of today shows exactly
how this farthingale looks in the new
frocks. Dozens of these gowns have
been recently seen at dances, although
one would not advocate them for a
crowded room.
The materials for these new gowns
are soft, usually silk net. and the reed
is covered with satin and tulle, in or
der to be inconspcuous. There is no
the hips: the soft material hangs from
1t like the fringe of lamp shade. To
accentuate the distension at the hips
there is some kind of trimming; in this
gown it is a series of festoons of small
roses. The material of the skirt is
white tulie over flesh colored chiffon,
and the bodice is of cloth of silver fast
ened over one shoulder with q string
of pearls, and a band of flesh colored
chiffon over the other shoulder

lNCURABLE DEFECT IN BRAIN
Color-Blindness Cannot Be Over
Come, Though Word-BIindness
! May Be AIIeviated.

Two defects in regard to sight
word-blindness and color-blindness-
are described by an English writer.
He points out that they are not de-
fects of the eyes at all, but are really
mental defects, and, curiously enough,
ARE found very often in clever men,
the discoverer of the defect-Dalton,
the great scientist-being himself
scolor-b1ind.
blindness occurs in about
three to four per cent Of males and in
"a smaller number of females. It is
frequently hereditary, but, strangely
enough, though the males suffer from
the defect, the females carry it on.
Color-blindness is a defect in the
registering apparatus in the brain and
lis incurable. 1t is of Importance to
recognize the defect early, and to turn
the attention Of the sufferer to work
in which this defect will not be han
dicap. Such children should learn
early that there is no work for them
on the railway.
WOTu-DlluuueSS is d uuCu mOle Sc
,rious defect, and may be the cause of
the difficulty some children find in
learning to read. They see correctly.
Tested with figures or pictures, they
may pass the standard, but the let
tiers of the alphabet, when strung to-
gether to form words, convey no mean
ing to them. The effect is due to
want of association of the brain cen
tiers. The defect is usually mistaken
at first to indicate defective eyesight,
but this is not so. 1t is noteworthy
that these same children may show
considerable ease in reading figures,
even money sums. To teach these
children to read, words must not be
taken letter by letter, but as whole:
the word "cat' must be taken not as
-'c-a-t," equals cat, but the whole
thing must be the sign for cat. The
method is known as the "look and say"
plan, and by its aid it is possible to
teach the child to read.
