BY MARY MARSHALL.

N OST potent has been the fad
M for dancing in molding the
fashion for women's evening
clothes. And the clothes that
are towering in the wings waiting
for their cut to step out on the
stage Of fashions for spring show the
working Of this influence even more
than any that have gone before.
You may not dance, and you may
never intend to dance, but willy
nilly you follow a mode in evening
clothes that has been very much IN
fiuenced by the dance fad. which
shows no sign of waning. And
though reformers look upon the mod
ern dances as perverters OF the young
and demoralizers Of the middle aged,
menaces of colleges and home wreck
ers, the very interesting fact remains
that these new evening clothes that
you may be wearing in q week or so
are modest even to occurrences.
In the first place the neck Is seldom
low in front. True, a woman may
show her back nearly to the waist,
but her partner In the dance usually
sees fabric to the collar bonn Eats
new decolletage, high At tho &funt
and low at the back, has BEEN ex-
planned thus. In dancing it is tho
back Of the frock which shows most
and should have most attention
Hence one should have ones bodice
cut low In back and should follow
the French fad of wearing necklaces
and other jeweled adornment at the
back. Just possibly 1t Is also for
the sake of presenting a demure ap.
pearance to ones partner.
Yteb is French designer who has
been making evening frocks low at
the back. Paquin is another One
clever dressmaker makes a frock with
tho high neck at front and the
deep V used by Paquin and then
crosses the back with strings Of
rhinestone beads from the shoulders
to the end Of the ". With black
velvet gowns the deep back decol-
letage Is sometimes filled in with a
single thickness Of flesh colored chif-
fon, device which makes a dance
frock more secure.
SOMETIMES there Is a fullness Of
the material at the back with a
fold that suggests a monks hood.
And in SHINE Of the very recent or
candle and tulle frocks for young
girls there are lace or orgapdie fichus
and scarfs-quite suggestive of the
mid-Fictorian modes save that they
are fastened in the center of the back.
What would our mid-Victorian an
cestors have said to that. Yet the
effect is charming. even demure. One
such lace fichu posed over a bouffant
frock of silver cloth has artificial
roses tucked in the knot of lace and
loops and long ends hanging almost
to the hem at the back.
Tho hustle seemed not to lineer
long on the threshold Of fashion last
spring. 1t was rather politely Kissed
on. However. there are sash bows on
some Of the very newest dance frocks
that are quite bustle-like in proper
tions. They are far more convenient
placed thus for dancing than the
enormous bows on the side of the
hips which young girls liked last
spring.
Even the hair arrangement seems
to have been developed with this idea
Of putting ones best foot backward.
With the period bouffant Srock which

plateau back Of the Notifications
that the old Belgrade lay, and It Is
there that the new Belgrade is build
ing.
Come with me for a drive through
the capital. We shall take a two
horse carriage, for here taxis as yet
arc almost unknown. The horses are
spirited, and we hesitate when we
look at tho dashboard which has been
kicked to pieces this morning. How
ever, the driver assures us that he
can hold them in check, and we go
humping along over the holes in the
wide streets paved with wood blocks
and cobbles. Now and then we strike
piece of asphalt or a stone road
way, but everywhere the streets are
in sad need of repaving. Belgrade
was torn to pieces during the war.
1t was bombarded by the .Austrians
from over the river. and outside 1t
one may see hundreds OF great shell
holes which have not yet been filled.
These bad streets will be improved
as soon as the budget permits, but in
the meanwhile buildings are going
up along them by the hundreds. The
old city was one Of two and three
stories. There are rows OF fine
stores and great offices. The new
structures are five, six and seven
stories for. as you know. they do not
have skyscrapers in Europe. They
are well built, mostly of brick, COW
cred with plaster so smoothly finished
and decorated that it looks like gray
stone. There are many carvings,
and some Of the buildings are very
artistic.
Within a stones throw Of where I
am writing new academy. Of
science Is building. and just over the
way is the Franco-Serbian Bank,
which would be a credit to Paris.
Farther ON is the new state depart
ment, which is nearing completion,
and on another street they are erect
Ing the new house OF parliament.
All together it Is planned to build
twenty government buildings, eight
cen public schools, an opera house,
a museum, a library and q new uni
versity. The city authorities have
decided to make Belgrade the most
they have offered prizes for plans
which shall include the buildings
above mentioned. q great athletic

PORKERS SUFFER
ANOTHER DECLINE
Heavy Receipts Cause Break
of 5 to 10 Cents.
d.


Thursdays severe break in hog
prices was followed by another rather
abrupt decline in trading at the local
stock yards today when receipts
threatened to equal those Of Thurs
day. In the extreme ranges. the de-
cl re was quotably 5 to Is nj lower,
though generally 10 to Is cents lower
with the supplies purchased by King
al & Co, largest buyers, costing an
average of Is cents lower. A few
light shippers were sold early at $7.35,
a nickel decline over Thursdays bulk
price of $7.40, but subsequent sales Of
slightly heavier hogs at $3.50 were a
dime lower while the medium and
mixed as we'll as the heavyweight
sales at 1925 to K ngan and other local
killers at 1925 were fully is cents
lower. The bulk of sales was made at
the latter figure, K.ngan having taken
5000 II more head on the opening
round of trading. Sows held fairly
steady at s6.25 down, though rarely
higher than Sc. while pigs were weak
to a quarter lower at about the same
figures. The days receipts touched
1900, including Thursdays unsold
numbering TAI.
A weaker feeling dominated trading
in the cattle market and bids on steers
we're Is to 25 cents lower from the
opening with .proportionate losses in
bids appearing on other classes. Re
ceipts of 500 head were not abnor-
mally large and most buyers were
present, but prices derived no stimula-
- s. -
values sagged.
Prices for calves at the opening Of
trading were strong at Thursdays top
of s14.50, but soon advanced so cents
to 81 TO a top Of $3.50. while the bulk
moved from s14.50 to SIS. Receipts
700.
A loss OF so cents to 81 was regis
tered by n~ative.fed lambs at $3.50
down. while sheep sold unchanged at
