It seems as If these styles, borrow- j
ed from the days when Jenny Liml
and Adeline I'atfl won their fame, give
to each ^Irl an individual grace as she
sways ro the rhythm of the modern
mnsie. Tiiere are Swiss frocks trim

taffetas, failles, soft charmewses, chif

noto. A glint now and then of a inuch

lost sight of for the past season or two.
Now tho stores have on display a com
plete collection of figured and plain
taffetas, dainty nainsooks and sheer
batistes trimmed with filet and Valen
ciennes lace for dance frocks, and con
siderable space Is devoted to aeoosso

Fans are especially pretty., small
models, scarcely five inches tall, with
ivory sticks and paper or silk uppers,
quaintly printed or painted, being fa
vored with the crinoline frocks: os
trich fans give way this season to
graceful models made of eagle quills.
Slippers, too, are featured in satin
and kid, white, black or in colors to
match the dross with ribbon lacings in

-firmly hold the foot. Stockings, not to
