STYLES OF TIMES GONE BY Men, as well as women, have followed amusing fashions during centuries which have passed.
 When knights of old took off their shining armor, they some- times put on skirts! This seems strange to us, but we must remem- Der that 1t was a common custom among the ancient Romans and Greeks for men to wear long robes on the order of skirts or dresses.
 We have records showing that some men wore short skirts during the middle ages. while others wore skirts which trailed to the ground. An English writer complained that he "could not tell one sex from the other"
 The skirt custom did not hold for the great bulk of men, and It's only important reminder in the western world Is the "kilt" worn by Scotch men of the highlands.
 Instead of skirts, leaders of fash ion--kings, lords and Knights came to wear trousers of various styles.

New York.-Manhattan although accustomed to watching vogues travel in cycles, finds itself bit baffled by the sudden return of the old fashioned charity ball"
 Here was a good old society pag- cant that was presumed to have been buried with the naughty nineties and "mauve decade" When that famous younger gen. eration" swung into being with the World war. the notion of parading and peacocking about for 'sweet charity's sake" was believed to have gone the way of red f1annels and petticoats.

 Charity balls, as near as any, one seems to know, became gala public events in New York in the early fifties, with the old Academy of Music as the setting. This spot, the center of opera and culture, was just off Union Square and the who's who" travelled for miles by carriage to get there. Famous eat ing spots and champagne resorts were scattered about the neighbor- hood. Burlesque houses, movies. shooting galleries and Chinese res- taurants now decorate the old scene.
 But it was the opening of the extinct Waldorf that put the char ity ball" in the social place that 1t came to occupy in later years.
 To give particular class to this historic event, Mrs Vanderbilt had hired the entire New York Sym phony orchestra, then headed by Walter Damrosch.
