CHARMING GOWNS FOR THE MID-WINTER DANCES
THE dancing season Is at its height,
but many a pretty dancing frock
has outlived its usefulness. Some
thing new must be bought and befrllled
and belaced, and that right quickly, for
If ever dances come thick and fast, it
is just before the pall of Lent is low
ered. It seldom pays to make over a dancing
frock, for tlio real article is diaphanous
nd perishable from the very beginning,
so that directly attempts are made to re
furbish and renew it, the old part gives
way under pressure of the new. Where
fore let us hie to the counters where
new goods are displayed and stock-taking
prices prevail.
First, in planning the new dancing
frock, bear in 'mind that the skirt must
bo full and Huffy, but short. The trained
and stately ball dress is not for her who
would find delighted and sympathetic
partners. For the debutante, the skirt
should clear the front. The chaperon,
the middle-aged matron and the young
dancing matron may wear a train, but
It should be short, and if she dances at
all, she must practice diligently the grace
ful art of carrying her train with her
right hand. It must be beyond the touch
of other dancers as well as herself and
her partner, and yet not high enough to
mako an unseemly display of silk hosiery.
The girl who Is not practiced in wearing
and carrying a train should eschew them
at the dance.
Now, with a comparatively short skirt,
a low neck and mere puffs of sleeves, the
amount of material required is not for
midable. Crepe de chine, rtarqulsette or
silk having plenty of body will require
only fourteen yards in the regulation silk
width of 20 inches or so. Softer materi
als, such as chiffon or net, though much
wider, will use up at least 12 yards for
the, woman of average height. And
nearly every party fabric requires a silk
slip beneath.
The ready-made silk slips in all deli
cate colors, as well" as white, "can now be
purchased as low as J3, with narrow
ruffles on the skirts, puffed sleeves
mid square necks edged with lace. You
can scarcely make them at home cheaper,
unless you pick up a rare bargain in
silk. The softest and most effective un
clerslips are made from Japanese or
habitue, not taffeta silk.
The new wash materials make lovely
party frocks, and have a double value
Just now, as. with care, they can be used
for early Summer wear after doing duty
for late dances. One design shown today
was developed from the new sheer white
muslin with colored border. The colored
embroidery is used at the foot of the
skirt and In the fitted bertha. The five
gored skirt is in reality a deep flounce
with very narrow fiounclngs of German
Val. lace beneath. The fine dots in the
embroidery are done in white floss, the
flowers and -rushes in corn-yellow. The
top of the skirt is adjusted to the figure
in fine hand-run tucks. The bodice is ex
tremely simple, being shirred into the
belt and around the top of the round
neck. Its sole decoration Is the fitted
bertha, in which the embroidery out
lined by lace ruchlngs Is used. The glr-r
die and twisted ribbons for the elbow
sleeves are of Vorn-colored faille. The
top of the bertha may be finished with
a flat bias fold of corn-colored faille, as
shown in the illustration, or, for the thin
girl, ruchlngs of soft lace with tiny yel
low chiffon flowers "would be .most effec
tive. The same design could be developed
admirably in one of the inexpensive
Some Dainty Trifles for the Dancing Girl
TtF.SSIXG the neck is always a
problem with the dance-loving
girl, whatever her physique. Of
course the plump girl has rather the
best of it In the game of wearing de
colletto owns, but Dame Fashion is
really very kind to the girl with the
scrawny neck this season.
Time was when this girl felt she
cnuld not wear a low-cut gown on ac
count of the bones Jn her throat, or
because her neck was so long that the
decollete bodice' was must unbecoming
' 1o her. Today the thin girl has her
gowns cut quite as low as these of her
stout sister, then plans a means of hiding-
the prominent bones. ;
The lavalier, or fancy necklace, is
perhaps the most popular. To success
fully hide the bones In the neck, these
necklaces should fit rather tightly
about the throat. If the one you have
is too larsc and drops down too low,
take it to any small jeweler your town
affords and he can shorten it an inch.
The girl whose throat is very high and
who has a. long chin should wear a dog
collar in any of the scml-precious
stones with her evening gowns. Imi
tation coral dog collars are exceed
inaly becoming to the dark girl, and look
well with almost any evening colors ex
cept reds and greens. Imitation pearl and
rliiiiestones are also made up in this
piece of Jewelry, and are not very ex
pensive. If your jewel box does not offer such
a trinket, then select a piece of black
velvet about an inch in width and tie
about your neck. This is a very becom
ing fashion, and one greatly used since
Hie introduction of the Dutch neck
gowns.
There are so very few exceptions to the
rule for wearing white gloves to a dance
that I might say that they do not ex
ist. Elderly women who are dressed in
black nnd do not expect to dance might
wear black gloves. Girls in mourning
wear them with all black gowns, but the
girl who is in mourning has no place at
a dance.. If her spirits are gay enough
to allow her to go to a dance, then let
her wear all white.
The newest fashions in fans "are merely
ii repetition of those during the past two
years. They arc medium in size and most
of them spangled on gauze or ivory, pearl
or bone sticks. An effort was made to in
troduce feather fans again. But they were
too expensive and Noo heavy to be of
general use. They aro seen only on rare
occasions in the hands of dowagers. The
young girl who goes to a dance and ex
pects to whirl around the room most of
the evening will do well to buy an Inex
pensive Japanese fan in pale colorings.
Wich a fan will bo of real benefit to hen,
while tho fancy spangled gauze affair is
really more ornamental than practical.
A dainty scarf is almost a necessity
nt a dance. It is needed throughout the
evening when a girl rests after a heated
waltz. It Is well to take a look over
your grandmother's and your mother's old
finery, and see If you can not resurrect
an old lace scarf. Those who succeed
will be doubly fortunate, for old laces are
worth their weight in gold this season,

ringed or dotted nets at a dollar a yard, I
inset with heavy lace around the foot of I
sively to- such scarfs, but I might re
peat that those made of dotted net, chif
fon and lace are most suitable for a light
throw-over at a dance.
There Is no place of amusement where
your feet are more exposed to view and
criticism than at a dance, and the girls
who think that an old pair of comfort
able slippers are the proper thing to
wear will be very conspicuous. Black
slippers and stockings are worn with an
all black gown only. White kid slip
pers with tiny bows or rosettes of satin
with rhinestone buckles, with white silk
or lisle stockings, are worn with all light
colored gowns, while bronze slippers and
stockings to-match exactly are worn with
gowns of medium coloring.
Let me also suggest that while you are
looking for the old lace scarf, keep your
eye open for any piece of Jewelry that
has been put away long ago and discard
ed as being "too old-fashioned." Dan
gling ear-rings have returned, and to a
certain type of girl they are most be
coming. Old-fashioned brooches of coral,
cameos and jade are today the most ap
Personal Daintiness for Dancers
IN MAKING the toilet for a dance, the
inexperienced girl must figure on the
comparative violence of the exercise
in prospect, the heat of the room, and
the heavy perfumes used by 1he woman
unversed in modern secrets of the toilet.
The most charming girls at up-to-date
dances are those who radiate an atmos
phere of physical freshness and crisp
ness. This "bars most emphatically the
use of heavy odors like heliotrope, trefle,
peau d'Espagne, or their equivalents in
sachet powders.
Tho truly dainty girl depends on neith
er extracts nor sachets to give her that
indescribable air of sweetness and fresh
ness always . associated with the de
butante, but upon her aromatic baths
and tho daily care of her clothing.
She keeps all her raiment in drawers
and boxes thickly scattered not with a
heavy sachet powder, but with orris
root, lightly scented with lilac or violet
sachet, and precious little of either, for
It is the orris root odor which is most
delicate and elusive. A sheet of cotton
wadding powdered with orris root and
the preferred delicate sachet may be laid
In the bottom of each drawer or box,
and it must be renewed at frequent Inter
vals. If annoyed by an oily skin, the dainty
girl always adds a dash of violet toilet
ammonia to her bath. And if to an oil
skin she adds the general appearance of
exhaustion or anemia, she adds the fol
lowing invigorating and cleansing mix
ture to the warm water tub: Dissolve
40 grammes of gelatine In a quart of
boiling water. Stir In BO grammes of
sulphante of potassium and 100 grammes
of subcarbonate of soda. She should lie
in the hot tub to which this mixture has
been added for at least ten minutes.
Some girls do not . perspire under or
dinary conditions, but after dancing, suf
fer much annoyance from a prickling
skin and a distinct odor of perspiration.
Such girls should bathe in warm water to

Venise and Imitation Irish make excel-
proved and popular type of jewelry. Up-to-date
jewelers are turning out copies of
these antiques In great quantities, but
none of the modern workmanship can
compare with that of fifty years, ago, ahd
the young girl who can display some
genuine pieces of antique jewelry Is for
tunate indeed.
I saw a girl at the opera the other
night dressed in a simple pink chiffon
gown, almost void of trimming. She
wore dangling ear-rings of plain gold
drops, and about her neck was strung
cn a narrow piece of black velvet ribbon
a huge gold locket. It bore the ear
marks of a fashion In Jewelry seen a
half century ago. The girl who wore
these bits of antique finery showed that
her people bad always had money and
standing, and they added so much to her
simple costume and general style that
several women in my vicinity spoke of it.

dried rosemary, 200 grammes; dried mal
lows, 200 grammes; dried linden, 200
grammes; rose-petals, 200 grammes; bi
carbonate of soda, 250 grammes. Steep
the herbs in two gallons of boiling water
for half an hour. Pour off, straining
through a hair sieve or cloth, and dis
solve the soda in the Infusion. Add to
a bath as hot a you can stand it. This
aromatic mixture leaves the skin delight
fully smooth and refreshed, and the odor,
faint but delightful, clings to the person
for hours.
In passing, it may Ibe remarked that
the up-to-date girl has taken up her
great-grandmother's fad of raising fine
herbs and drying rose leaves for toilet
articles and scenting her lingeries. Rose
petals may be gathered and dried through
out the Summer, and stored In huge Jars
for future use, a dainty custom which
any girl can follow at small cost.
When the tissues are relaxed from
careless washing or the skin on shoulders
and arms Is flabby and coarse, try this
vinegar tonic in your bath: Oil of ber
gamot, 12 grammes; oil of cltion, 10
grammes; tincture of benzoin, 12
grammes; extract of lavender, 30
grammes; pure white vinegar, 1 pints.
Mix and let the. Infusion stand ten days.
Dilute with four times the quantity of
freshly boiled, distilled or rose water.
Warm as much as you need to fill your
basln and sponge the face and . body
freely, allowing the water to trickle Into
a foot bath, coarse towel or bath mat.
Use antiseptic rauze or old soft linen
for sponging; never a sponge, which
holds and breeds germs.
For the girl who is annoyed by exces
sive perspiration when dancing, the fol
lowing powder, rubbed well over the body
before dressing, may prove helpful: Fa
rina starch, 0 grammes; powdered tal
cum. 20 grammes; powdered lycopodium,
20 grammes; salol or boric acid, 10
gramme; essence of violet,' 20 grammes.

which every girl should avoid. This
leaves Its trail on the arm of every part
ner. If the arms are stained, try lemon
juice on the disfiguring spots. If any
whitener Is to be used at all. use one with
a liquid founuation, as follows:
Pure oxide of zinc, 1 ounce; glycerine,
1 dram; rosewater, 4 ounces; essence of
rose, 15 drops.
Sift the zinc, dissolving It in just enough
of the rosewater to cover it, then add the
glycerine, next the remainder of the
rosewater.
Shake well and apply with antiseptic
gauze, rub until thoroughly dried into
the pores or it will be streaked and leave
as many tell-tale marks as the dry
powder.
Every girl should carry to the dance a
tiny vanity box or powder rag in a tiny
silk bag. which she can tuck into the
ruffles of her bodice. A touch of good
face powder will reduce the shine on
the nose and forehead, and the faint per
fume of an imported or home-made pow
der will be refreshing, but the promis
cuous use of a powder puff provided in
the public or private dressing-room, Is to
be decried in this age of personal dainti
ness. Chat About Women.
Alnslee's Magazine says that the
American girl is brought up to think
more of herself than of marriage, and
that If she feels like It she will confer
herself upon some man; the French
girl, on tho contrary, has been taught
to think more of marriage than of her
self. In France- the suitor Is looked
upon as a veritable Lohengrin, the
knight who has come to free the sleep

One of the present fads of New York
women Is to have "Dorothy" or Shaker
cloaks, made by the sisters at their
community at East Canterbury, N. H.
These, cloaks are said to be made after
the same pattern as the cloaks worn
by the Shakers who came from Eng
land in 1774. Some 10 years ago a
fashionable woman took the notion of
wearing a Shaker cloak .for an opera
wrap. The cloaks aro of broadcloth
and for the use of "the world's people"
they are lined with blu.e mauve and
pink satins.

Et iquette:
THE mother of dance-loving sons
and daughters, the matron whose
"set" has not yet outgrown the Joys
of dancing, and the bride who has no
end of social obligations to pay, will
agree on the statement that the dance
Is the thing. No form of entertainment
Is so generally satisfactory and so simply
managed as the informal dance. For that
matter, a formal dance, with perhaps a
cotillion at the close, can be better man
aged by the average hostess than an
elaborate dinner or card party.
First and most Important Is room to
turn in, -and a good floor to dance upon
The hostess must consider the rival
claims of her home and a room rented
outside. In the smaller cities It is often
possible to get at a reasonable figure the
use of a hotel dining-room, or parlor,
which is more pleasant than a lodge
room or public hall. If the house of the
hostess is small, or her floors uneven,
she should immediately cast about for
more commodious quarters or forever
abandon the idea of a dance.
The hotel room or lodge hall docs not
premippose elaborate decorations. A few
palms and potted plants to screen the
musicians, and form -a few cosy corners,
will be sufficient. For a valentine dance,
innumerable crimson hearts cut from
cardboard or crepe paper will furnish all
the decorations neediil. The same re
freshments that would be offered in your
home will suffice for the dance outside.
The sole advantage of going away from
home is the room, and the fortuitous fact
that the price paid for the use of the
room Includes cleaning the day after,
which is an item in the private house.
Invitations should be sent out about
two weeks in advance. If the dance is
to be a large one, the invitations
should be engraved on plain brlstol
board. If a small dance is to be
given, the Invitations may be written.
The letters "R. S. V. P." are seldom
used, a hostess taking it for granted
that her guests have sufficient knowl
edge of the proper thing to answer
within a few days.
A very simple and approved form
used In inviting guests to a dance is
along the following lines:
Mrs. Howard Brown
Miss Brown
At Home
Wednesday evening, February tenth.
274 St. Mark's Place.
DANCING.
Or the card may read less formally:
Mr. and Mrs. HowaTd Brown

DANCING. "
In figuring on the music, for a small
dance -a piano often suffices, but of
course" the addition of a guitar or man
dolin, or one violin, greatly Increases
the inspiration and gives a much bet
ter effect In a crowded room.
Dance programmes are still in
vogue for large dances. At small
house entertainments, where most of
the guests are old friends, they are not
used. There are times, however, when
the hostess has a number of guests
many of whom do not know each
other, and then dance cards are a great
help. Once a man has put his name on
a card engaging a dance, he must keep

his word and fulfill that engagement,
while if he has not so pledged himself
he Is apt to argue. "Oh, I don't know
that girl I'm off for the smoking
room for this number."
Two dressing-rooms must be offered
the guests, one for the men and one for
the women. The men can take care of
themselves, as a rule, but in the room
where the women go there should be
a maid ready to assist them In remov
ing their wraps, putting' on slippers,
etc.
The hostess should be dressed in
ample time, and be standing in the
doorway of the parlor ready to receive
her guests when they arrive. She
should see that all of her guests are
Introduced, asking some of the young
men In the room to help her out in
this task, and throughout the evening
she should watch all of her guests
seeing that no one is "wall flowered."
A hostess Is at liberty to ask any
young man to dance with any woman
who is sitting without an attendant.
Owing to the fact that all the room
available is necessary for dancing, a
buffet supjjor is generally served for
such an occasion. In a convenient cor
ner a large bowl of punch should 'be
found throughout' the evening. The
bowl should be placed on a substan
tial table covered with a plain white
cloth, and there should be plenty of
glasses. The bowl should be filled
from time to time during the evening.
Refreshments

pineapple, or a quart can of the fruit.
Cut into very email and thin slices.
Take three large grape fruit, remove
the bitter skin and cut the fruit Into
small pieces. Take two pounds of
white grapes and cut In half, remov

rum, and a cup of sugar, preferably
brown. Let this boil and throw over
the fruit. Allow it to cool. Put a large
block of ice in punch bowl, throw in
the fruit, and add to it one quart of
the fruit. Allow it to cool." Put a
large Sauterne, a bottle of soda, and a
few slices of cucumber peel.

The model from which this illustration
was taken was made in a dotted mulle of
pale coffee tint, trimmed wjth lace and
ribbon of precisely the same tone and a
girdle of a slightly deeper shade. The
lace had been dyed to match the fabric.
and tlio whole effect was most soft nnd
becoming to a clear-skinned brunette.
Double rows of the insertion were set in
to the sleeves, bodice and skirt, while
below the Insertion on the skirt were
four ruchings of the ribbon, which also
outlined the bertha in double rows. The
same design could be carried out In net
with ruclilng3 of tho same fabric or in
German Val. lace, which s less expen
sive and far more effective on net than
the finer French Val.
A lovely color combination shown in
stamped muslin of sheer quality was a

A young girl who wanted a new danc
ing frock, but counted also on the ap
proach of warm weather, hunted the
shops over for remnants in Swiss em
broidery. She found some deep, pointed
medallions, which she set into her skirt,
points up, like a border, starting at the
hem. These she outlined with pleated
Val. lace. Smaller pointed medallions
were used to point downward from the
round neck of the blouse, and the lovely
combination of plain and embroidered
Swiss was worn over a pink slip, with
a soft pink sash. The latter had long
ends and a choux at the waist line, with
tiny moss rosebuds caught in the heart
of each chou and In knots near the ends
of the sash. With this she wore white
gloves, pink tulle twisted and roped
through her blonde hair,' with a rose
over the left ear.
The wrap to be worn with a party
dress is most important. It should be

in the skirt of the coat are just what a
girl with a dainty frock likes. She can
easily hold up her dancing skirts and
keep them free from soil on street or
car.
Egyptian Designs on China.
The very latest design in chinawaro
imported from Florence Is the Egyptian,
and a chop set so decorated has been
much admired.
There were 13 pieces, one large round
dish and 32 plates to match.
The edges were enameled in a red and
white block design, picked out with gold,
and the lotus flower, conventionalized,
was arranged to look like a crest.
It was exceedingly handsome and de

at the Dance
the glasses washed and replaced at
frequent intervals.
The supper Itself Is served about 11
or 12 o'clock, and although the gentle
men aid in serving the ladies In the
party, there should be a couple of
maids to serve anything necessary from
the pantry, to carry off the soiled
dishes, etc. A buffet supper should
consist of salads, several kinds of
sandwiches, Ices, cakes and coffee. The
addition of one hot dish, such as
creamed oysters, Is desirable, but not
at all necessary.
The men and women who have been
invited to a dance should reply as soon
as possible, giving their hostess time

It be necessary. There is really no
fixed hour for arriving at a dance, but
ordinarily 9 or 9:30 Is a suitable hour.
Guests should remove their wraps in
the room assigned for that purpose,
and should then descend and greet
their hostess at once. Young men are
very prone to sit upstairs and smoke
awhile, then' drift down stairs and chat
with this girl and then another, anil
finally wander over to the hostess. Let
me say that such conduct is the height
of ill manners.
