Get Oxford ties, five holes, patent leather, low broad heels and sufficient unto your soles, for on them will depend not only your own under- standing. but the safety and grace of your ner or partners. It is said on authority that more accidents resulting from tight shoes oc- curred at the last inangural than ever before in the history of national balls. Ina private docu- ment sent to the “aids” of the floor and prom- enade committee. a clause is devoted to incom- petent dancers, the substance of which is an in- vitation to withdraw. SUBTLE CURVES. It goes without saying that gloves will be re- quired all evening. A knowledge of the Del- sarte system will not be amiss, for this is an age of curves. The military, with its square shoulders and an movements, has been frowned down, an iety insists that her es- cort shall affect the ‘“‘wave movement,” or what art people call the subtle curves. Formerly a man bowed square and low. his torso tending to be at right angles with his extremities; now the salute is made by loosening the joints, giv- ing the body free play, and allowing the arms to hang slightly forward. George Washington Wallace, of Harlem, who has been invited to hy oo the New York profession as an aid to the ballroom committee, says on this topic: ‘There are not two men inasociety of ten who can make acorrect salutation, nor two women cut of ten who know how to take a man’s arm. With the feet in third position—that is, the right heel near the hollow of the left foot— the salute should come from the body, shoul- ders, head and arms. There must be loose ten- sion. The figure must be responsive and full of curves—a sort of ‘curling’ approachableness which a little practice before a cheval glass will give a fellow. Even among the sucred 400 one sees a great deal of stiff bowing and a tendency to flatly lodge the right hand against the base of the waistcoat as a check to handshaking. While laudable as a restraint, since the ly takes the initiative, the fashion 18 NOT THE FASHION. “You may, by way of balancing grace, allow your left hand to gradually approach a fob charm or vest button, but the right must be re- served for a possible engagement with a lady's. By all odds, the best poised man is the one who can look graceful seal vated, with free arms and quiet hands.” And to take the arm of a gentleman? “Well, the average woman does not take it. She takes the cout-sleeve and worries the owner, who is in doubt whether she is or is not there. A man wants to feel the hand on his arm, although its weight may be as delicate as the caress of baby fingers. The correct hold is in the crutch or bend of the arm where the lady folds her fingers. In the street, or in a crowded staircase or hallway, a gentleman may be par- doned if he pulls the timid little hand above his elbow and through his strong arm for the security needed. HOW TO HOLD YOUR PARTNER. “And now as to how to hold your partner. Encircle her waist, not her ribs nor her shoul- der-blades, and let the fingers support her in the center of the belt line. Properly placed, the hand will be arched as gracefully as a mu- si wielding a violin bow, and as the palm is raised the air circulates freely and the possi- bility of soiling a delicate bodice removed. The men who takes out his handkerchief to lady's dress from his touch pays him- compliment, and his brother. who tween her shoulders, deserves . for it is impossible for a woman to weful under such pressure unless she is built on the plan of a parallelogram. S TAKING HER HAND you don’t take it, You take her fingers in your fingers—a nice point, by the way, which must be seen to be understood. Here itis (taking the reporter's fingers in his own, his thugb forming a rest and his fingers closing over proffered tips). The law of the ballroom allows @ man just two points of his partner's fingers and not so much as the touch of her hand. I might as well tell you right here that Fashion says palins down, and when her fair daughter extends her hand in the quadrille or cotillon her partner is supposed to know how to take her fingers, neither three nor five, but four. cash and $1,350,000 in shares.

It is asserted in parliament circles in London that the principal offense for which Mr. James L. Carew, the nationalist member for North Kil- dare, was arrested in Scotland the other day and sentenced to four months’ imprisonment, was i various meetings of speech made by ident-elect Harrison at jome- rule meeting held at Indianapolis in April, 1887. The Paris socialists made a fruitless attempt to hold a meeting in the Place Hotel de Ville yesterday. Small groups that gathered were dispersed by gendarmes. A few were arrested. Orderly meeti were held at Bordeaux, Lyons, Roubaix, ‘and Marseilles.

Dudley. Indianapolis Special to the N.Y. Tribune, Feb. 23. While it is not denied that Col. W. W. Dudley is to be prosecuted on an affidavit based on in- formation, the acting district attorney, Clay- pool, says it is not true that he will himself take a warrant to Washington for Col. Dudley's arrest. He will leave here for Washington in two or three days, but he says he has contem- plated the trip for some time, and he is going for the purpose of making a final settlemeut of his official business. He admits that it is not his intention to prosecute the case. He has said to friends that he intends to wash his hands of the whole business. — soe Civil Service Reformers. ‘THEY EXPRESS THEIR CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT- ELECT HARBISON, One of the largest gatherings of civil-service reformers ever held met in Baltimore Satur- day under the auspices of the Civil-service re- form association of Maryland, which organiza- tion sent out a call for the conference in De- cember last. George William Curtis. presi- dent of the National association, sent a letter of regret at not being able to attend. Among those present were Dorman B. Eaton, Theodore Roosevelt, Richard H. Dana. E. L. Godkin. of The Nation, and many others. At the after- noon session. which was presided over by Judge Foulk, of Indiana, resolutions were passed ex- pressing the confidence of the association in President-elect Harrison and his professions of friendship for the principles of civil-service reform. on The Ice Crop of the Hudson Assured. From the New York Tribune. Atrany, Feb, 23.—The thermometer was at zero here this morning, and though few ice-men fear that their harvest will not meet the de- mand, it is generally conceded that with this cold wave the normal ice crop of the upper Hudson is assured. Poveukeerste, Feb, 23.—The weather is very cold and the mercury falling rapidly. Reports from up the river show that this was a big day for the ice harvest, over 100,000 tons bein; taken in. Many of the harvesters will work all day Sunday. If the weather keeps cold, 190,000 tons of ice will be housed daily for a week or more. A Paris Blizzard.

At nine o'clock yesterday morning Paris was startled by a meteorological phenomenon, The “It is not elegant to stand on the floor and | SU" was shining brightly, the sky was clear, the wait for the music. Get your partner in hand and glide off at once with the first measure. I forgot to tell you that it isnecessary for both to bend a little forward from the rigid vertical— only a trifle, however. so that the bodies do not touch, and each faces over the right shoulder of the other. It is the bad position which artners take that brings a harmless and really Peautifal and healthful exercise into disrepute.” Asa floor manager Mr. Wallace was asked if he would reprove a dancer at the coming ball for an inaccurate position, but he declined to answer the question. “How about the pump-handle extension of the arms in dancing?” “It is not only incorrect, but inconvenient and inelegant. The ladies object to it because their dresses do not admit of an elevation of the arms. Who ever saw a fashionably dressed than that, the position is unsightly. for it reaches into the comfort of other people. An angle of forty degrees is the correct position for the arms, and may be lower if ‘the lady desires, the idea being to have the arms away from the body.

The galop, while popular with young people, is not considered the best form, and rapid dancing is counted among the objectionable features of the ball- room Dancing cards are very bad form, but the politicians thought its best to have them, as a souvenir as well as a convenience. As a knight of the ballroom is known by his easy individuality, it will be every man’s privi- lege to invent his own invitation to the dance. “May I have the pleasure,” &c., is not to be thought of. Anything but that. At Newport they say, “Won't you take a tarn?” with a de- cided inflection of the voice, while at the Del- monicos’ dances half the 400 inquire of the other half if “you mind going round a time or two?” And then when he’s “awfully obliged, don't you kno ‘ with a smile, “So glad” Y T yourself treated with disrespect if a girl swings herself out of your arms, and charge her with homely man- ners if she makes more than three revolutions of aparlor surface.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times, Bismarck’s doctor, the famous little Swenin- ger, is a remarkable and a delightful man. He is a creation of Bismarck’s, more or less. He looks like a Russian prince, has the most piercing black eyes I have ever seen, a close- clipped black beard and mustache, massive, wavy coal-like hair, and a quick, incisive and nervous manner. He became disgraced at the very outset of a promising medical career by an affair with the wife of one the professors in the college where he occupied a small position. The wife was a beautiful Vieanese woman and | she had been married to a large and beery pro- | fessor of chemistry when very young. When | she met the handsome and fiery Sweninger she | fell violently in love with him. There was the deuce to pay, a terrific exposure and some sort | of an affair between the doctor and the pro- fessor which resulted in Sweninger’s imprison- ment. Bismarck had taken an interest in the case from the fact that Sweninger’s actions toward the woman had been exceedingly manly and generous throughout. The young doctor come out a ruined man and tried to ractice in Berlin, but there was no hope for jim until one day he was sent for by the chan- cellor of the empire.

From the New York Tribune. At the big meeting of Michigan republicans in Detroit on Friday evening last, at which Warner Miller, Gen. Warner, commander of the G. A.

Harrison one of the strongest and most popular he eve: delivered. The Michigan club holds its an- nual banquet on Washington's birthda: the meeting of 1888 was one of the most suc- | cessful of the series.

They Were Entirely Unprepared for the ti! Great “Times” Fiasco. ‘London Special in Philadelphia Press, Feb. 24. The comical state of mental de] which just now characterizes the tory ranks is highly gratifying to the liberals. From the beginning tory confidence in the alleged Perneli letters has been unbounded, for tories do not reason very much; they simply said to themselves: “The Times would not go in for this sort of thing unless it was sure. Irishmen are all born bad and naturally sympathize with murder from very instinct. The Times will first show how bed Irishmen, and particularly patriotic Irishmen, are, and will then wind up by prov- ing Parnell to be unusually bad by pinning to his name forever the authorship of these let- ters sympathy for murderers.” But have The Ti it snmore easily beguiled than fee average toaders hie grand Soheae ay reader. scheme for looked well through bracrom Aesth Irish party rt bed} e but it now ap; that the Times and its case, with the tory hopes, all rested on the shoulders of Richard Piggott, and this per- son, while a perjurer, is but a weak- kneed Atlas, not up to the weight required of him. The Times and the tories have come down in a heap together and have not yet re covered their breath. Such an utter collapse has not been heard of for a a year, and even Mr. Parnell’s supporters, confident as they were of his event triumph, hardly realize et the im e of their victory and of the low which the government has réceived with such unexpected suddenness. The average tory gentleman, so eager a few weeks to prove oe = een the genuine- ness of the Parnell forgeries, wishes now to be left alone, declare in a manly fashion his disgust that an institution like Times should have been capable of trying to ruin the character even of a political ment on such miserable testi- mony, but the average reply of a tory, when asked his opinion, is that he has not been fol- og the ell commission very closely of jate. LABOUCHERE VERY HAPPY. One of the happiest men at the trial of late has been Mr. Labouchere, who, with his thin voice, is fond of reviewing the aspect of the case and the Times’ stupidity. He says: “Thus, you see, these people, Walter and the rest, seem to have started out on the supposition that when a man forges a document he makes it as unlike as possible. So they thought their moderately clumsy forgeries very good prop- erty.” e Lewis deserves, perhaps, the most credit for the able working up of the Parnellite side of the case.

There will be no difficulty about giving him a satisfactory term of hard labor, for the immunity extended by the laws creating the commission to those who may be called to testify does not include perjurers, THE GOVERNMENT AND “‘TIMES” SUFFER. ‘That the government must suffer greatly as a result of this fiasco is apparent. There 1s a great revulsion of feeling among fair-minded Englishmen, and it is more than ever certain that the result of a general election now would be to bundle the tories and unionists out of power together. The Times will be punished, as it richly deserves. Inthe first place it will be compelled to abandon for some time the role of Phanderer and of counselor and guide to the British nation. In a financial way the blow is a very heavy one, First and last the forgery publishin business, which has failed so miserably, will cost the Times at least £100,000, and the suits which Mr. Parnell is bringing in Ireland and Scotland may, if persisted in, cost as much more. The Times’ daily expense is £700. The statement is going about that Mr. Walter will pay all this money out of his own pocket, even should he have to sell his estate, Bear- wood, to prevent the Times stockholders suffer- ate ing.

The feelings of the Times’ owners, who have lost all that and got only Piggott in return, can be quite easily imagined. BRIGHT PROSPECT FOR HOME RULE. Outside of the Times’ forgery case the home- rule cause is going on well all around. There has been an election, and, as usual, a Glad- stonian victory in East Perthshire. Not only did home rule win, but with 500 more votes than the successful candidate had in i886.

THE THISTLE COMING ACROSS. She Is to Be Fitted with a Centerboard and Will Try for the Cup. Glasgow Special to New York World, Feb. There is, after all, a good prospect of the Clyde cutter Thistle visiting New York again next autumn. The negotiations for her sale have been pretty well settled. In the mean- time all the information to be obtained regard- ing her is that she is goit “foreign.” Since the Thistle has no fittings for a family crusier, the Mediterranean is evidently not the * for- eign” destination intended. It is more likely that the destination is New York. When the purchase is completed she is to be fitted with the mizzen-mast which she ought to have had on her first trip across the Atlantic, and which would have saved both the yacht and the crew much knocking about under even reefed can- vas on the cutter's heavy racing mast. In ad- dition there is every reason to believe that the Thistle will have a centerboard fitted in, which her build and very strong framework will admit of without further alteration. So far as can be learned here no challenge has been sent yet for the America cup, but the Royal Clyde club believes that the New York club wAuld accept under the old deed. In that case only six months’ notice is necessary, and there will be time enough till April 1) The | voyage ofthe Thistle across the Atlantic with | the center-board means that the cutter will | enter any match that she may be admitted to and try to prove what the Clyde yachtsmen are 8o anxious to prove—namely, that the Volun- | teer would have been no match for the Thistle had ‘the ‘Scotch cutter been fitted with center-board.

If this be proved the centerboard will then be fitted, in order to test the full advantages of the cen- terboard as compared with the cutter’s per- formance without it. ‘This arrangement romises to be such a crucial experiment that it will settle whether keel-boats or center- boards are to be the British racing yachts of { d | the future. ——+——@0— Hawley on American History.

Che last-named is & class of readers alone well worth reaching; but it is to the phenomenally large permanent local circulation of we paper, ud especially w its unparalivled bold upom the household aud family circle, that the attention of advertisers is particularly directed. | Acomparison of we home circulation of 25,450 With the Ggures representing the entire popula- ou of the city will conciusively establish the fact . | that THe STak reaches about every family in the District of Columbia, and is read every duy by more than Uree-Sourins af 4s population whe are able fo read! it follows, wherefore, that an advertise | ment inserted in its columns will meet the eyeof m | every person ia the District worth reaching, of Whatever race, creed, sex, age, or condition in life. iv only remains to be said, for the information of those interesied in we subject, that, in proportion to iw circulation, the rates of advertising in THB EVENING Stak, whether transient or for long periods, rank with the very lowest in the United States. Indeed, taking both the extent aud char- acter of its circulation into consideration, it may safely be claimed that so wide and such ap excei- Jeni quality of publicity can nowhere else be boughs Jer the same money. “Trial by Peers.” For the information of those not familiar with THE STAk, a few extracts from notices by its com temporaries, called out by its recent change im form, are appended: From the Washington Post.
