What's the Matter With the Wall FzolUer?

soon become proficient.
The worst thing is for the girl
without partners to decide she
lacks charm. She should remem-
Der that it is the dancing that
counts. The man who enjoys
dancing is not thinking of marry
ing every girl he dances with. Her
self consciousness about lacking
charm is pretty sure to react
against her and make her still
more of a wall flower.
Dance, and dance well, and you
won't be wall flower.
That's pretty sound advice to
give.

and energy to grid up the loins-
that is, TO fasten the clothes Sc
curely. probably to draw them up
from the ground. so that one could
walk and work unhampered by
trailing garments.
The Greeks and Romans and
other nations of antiquity wore
girdles to hold their cloths in
place, and gradually the girdle be-
came a sort of pocket, wherein
money and documents and later
swords were kept. 1t may have
been a very ornate scarf of purple
and scarlet that was the ancestor
of both the modern girdle on
gorgeous evening frock and the
khaki cartridge belt of our army.
Now, after centuries of tight
clothes. women have again taken

shoulders Nothing more natural.
then, than that the girdle should
come back into its own. 1t is again
a useful part of our clothes.
In Paris this summer it was
quite amusing to hear the talk
about belts. In all their orna-
mental forms they were in evil
dence there, and there was much
gossip and chatter about the places
one might find that sold them rea-
sonably or made them charmingly.
One woman would tell OF place
where nickle belts could be bought
cheap; but torture could not get
the address out of her. Another
woman would be sweetly telling
white lie about how she spent
the afternoon, when everyone
knew that her dressmaker had
given her the address OF a place
where she could have belts made.
The result of all this is inev-
| table. The American shops can
handle these immense girdles in
immense quantities, and they soon
reached the point where they were
commonplace. What they taught
women was to avoid the narrow
belt. No matter how attractive its
metallic surface. il is really out
of fashion. 1t must have pendant
ornaments, long ends, fringe, dan
Cling cymbals. lattice work. tri-
angles of ivory or metal of jewels
hanging from it, something TO in
crease its width.

more money. Often she feels
quite sure that it is all because she
is lacking in some strange femi-
nine charm that attracts the men
TO the other girls as honey at
tracts a bee.
Now about the best piece of ad-
vice you could give such a girl is
this: Learn to dance better. There
is nothing quite so irresistible TO
a good dancing man as girl who
dances well. The better she
dances, the more he likes TO dance
with her. The worse she dances,
the less he enjoys dancing with
/ her.
Naturally. Like attracts like,
and there is nothing more delight
full than dancing with someone
who seems TO have learned to
dance expressly to be your
partner.
OF course, this same advice ap-
plies to men who don't enjoy
dances. They have matters, so far
as partners are concerned, more
in their own hands. They can ask
any girl they wish to dance with
them, and of course they usually
can get a partner. But many
young men struggle through each
dance they go TO swearing it will
be their last. Let them learn &c
dance, and even if they have nc
other social graces they will en-
JOY every dance they go TO and
look forward to a dancing invita-
ton with enthusiasm.
To be sure, pretty clothes de-
help a girl. But they needn't b.
expensiveA Most men, you know
hate a freak. If the girl they arr

clothed, they don't worry mucl
about the price she probably pait
for her frock.

tea to meet a house guest or other
friend of the hostess you should
enclose a card for her. If the
cards are sent out in the name Of
two members of the household
cards should be enclosed for both.
Three cards should be sent when
the invitation cards have been
sent by the hostess to meet two
friends or when a mother and
daughter give a tea for house
guest. However, no more than
three cards should be sent at once.
A woman does not send her hus-
bands card with her own unless
he has been invited TO the tea.
Then two of her husbands are in
cluded, one for the hostess and one
for the host-since the woman
would not invite men unless her
husbands name appeared OF the
invitation. But where the invita-
tion does not include the husband
woman would send only the one
card-that to the hostess.
